So who is it? Who draws you in the most? who gives you a different and more masterful perspective of the film your watching?

Oh and if you don't pay attention or know of other directors than Speilberg or Peter Jackson I suggest you leave now, your opinion isn't informed enough to contribute. That may sound harsh but do you really want the most popular director or the better director to be achnologed?

Stanley Kubrick - A clockwork orange ;) 2001 Space odessy, Full metal Jacket, Dr Strangelove

Quentin Tarentino - Kill bill series, Pulp fiction, Reservoir Dogs

Francis Ford Coppola - Appocolypse now, The Godfather

Alfred Hitchcock - Vertigo, psycho, the birds

Peter Jackson - LOTR, King Kong

Speilberg - Jurassic park, Saving Private Ryan, AI

George Lucas - Starwars, Indiana Jones

Ridley scott - alien, blade runner

And any others I will have overlooked in my haste.

Roberto Benigni
Charlie Chaplin
David Cronenberg
Clint Eastwood
Roland Emmerich
David Fincher
Mel Gibson
Philip Kaufman
Spike Lee
Ang Lee
Baz Luhrmann
Sydney Pollack
Roman Polanski
Wolfgang Petersen
Guy Ritchie
M. Night Shyamalan
Martin Scorsese
Steven Soderbergh
Tom Tykwer
Quentin Tarantino
Wachowski brothers
Orson Welles
Wim Wenders
John Woo

Are they not good enough?

Limit of 10 and I thought I added Tarantino :(

I was trying to choose only the critically aclaimed 9 and other. I completely forgot about Martin Scorsese too.

He is mental and yes, he is a convicted peadophile, but the Pianist is a great film.
