Your Favorite Director

[RedDeadFred]

I realize this probably has been done before but when I searched, there wasn't anything very recent. I decided make this thread because my favorite director recently changed from Quinten Tarantino to Christopher Nolan. I have watched all of Nolan's movies and enjoyed them all thoroughly (Inception and Dark Knight being my favorites).
Anyway, what is everyone else's favorite?

 

[Marter]

It is either Christopher Nolan for Inception and Dark Knight or Neil Marshall for Doomsday. (Haven't seen his other films yet)

Nolan's pretty good.

Only one film I didn't like and that was Insomnia.

Tarantino's always gonna be my pick though. No movie that I didn't like.

Well, except Jackie Brown. That wasn't bad, just not that great.

And you always gotta love Scorcese...even despite The Age of Innocence.

 

[BlumiereBleck]

Tim Burton

 

[silversnake4133]

Hayao Miyazaki

 

[Geekosaurus]

Probably Michael Mann.

Nolan, Jonze, Tarantino, The Coens, Wes Anderson, Guy Ritchie, Mathew Vaughn, David Fincher, Guillermo del Toro and Gilliam. I can't decide!

 

[Icaray]

It's a tie between Tarantino and Guy Ritchie.

Stanley Kubrick is my all time favorite; I like Francis Ford Coppala (his latest movie was amazing); Alex Gibney is a very good documentary filmmaker; Jean Luc Goddard is a brilliant french comedy director that I highly recommend; I usually condemn people for saying something like this, but you honestly can't be a filmmaker/film buff without seeing one of Federico Fellini's films.

 

[Sinclair Solutions]

I can't just pick one. I love Tarantino, Scorsese, Eastwood, Wes Anderson, Nolan, Fincher, and Kubrick. They all make amazing movies.

Hitchcock hands down...

 

[Mr0llivand3r]

Peter Jackson, but Edgar Wright is slowly creeping up on him

 

[Aiddon_v1legacy]

Nolan, Tarantino, and Rodriguez are my favorite directors, though they're not the directors I call the GREATEST

 

[SleepyOtter]

Spielberg for Jurassic Park and Saving Private Ryan and Tarantino for Kill Bill and Inglorious Bastards

 

[The Root Beer Guy]

Michael Mann. Peter Jackson is in a rather distant second.

 

[Ensiferum]

Guillermo del Toro for movies like Pan's Labrynth and Hellboy 1 and 2.

Peter Jackson for the LOTR Trilogy and all of his awesomely fun B movies.

Quentin Tarantino for everything but Jackie Brown and Deathproof.

Oh and of course Alfred Hitchcock.

And George A. Romero!

It's so hard to choose just one :/

Joel Coen (The Coen Brothers) although The Ladykillers was unneccesary and intolerable Cruelty was only OK. There are plenty of others but I think the brothers would be my favorite. I'll be keeping and eye on Edgar Wright though and I've like Guillermo Del Toro since Cronos, I even liked Mimic and Blade 2 (although if Blade 2 hadn't had Ron Perlman I don't think I would have liked it at all)..
