Cameron, Peter Jackson, John Carpenter, and half of Tim Burton (I find Burton hit & miss, but when he hits, it's phenomenal).
 
1. Bob Fosse - the genius! the only director to ever win the Oscar, the Emmy, and the Tony--and all in one year! (Cabaret, Liza with a Z, and Pippin) Even Vincent Minelli (not a bad director in his own right) said that Cabaret was "A Perfect Movie"

2. Terry Gilliam - Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas, Twelve Monkeys, The Fisher King, Brazil, and of course--Monty Python and the Quest for the Holy Grail

3. Kevin Smith - Chasing Amy, Clerks, (and we can all forgive Jersey Girl--I've definitely seen worse movies)

Fincher, Spielberg, Eastwood,Howard,Hitchcock, Tarantino, Rodriqez,Scorcese and lots more. I can't narrow it down to three any more than I can list my top ten favorite movies. Truth is I don't like every movie by any director they all have a clunker or two now and then. I wanted to list Cosmatos just for Tombstone but it was Kilmers performance that grabbed me in that flick. I am becoming a huge fan of independant films and I have been purchasing more and more DVX user's films and those made by others like Market 175. I love lots of different movies and I enjoy many different directors for the same reason. Good is Good no matter who is in it or directed it. I like a wide variety here's a few.

Good Will Hunting
The Outlaw Josey Wales
Fight Club
Pulp Fiction
Jaws
Casablanca
Happy Gilmore(Yes I'm an Adam Sandler fan)
Evil dead(Boy I'm asking for it now)

Ultimately I love movies that entertain me more than break new ground in cinema. I have a large collection of DVDS and host cheesy horror nights with my adult children and their friends. My whole family loves movies and even though we have almost 600 DVDs we regularly go to the movies as well. I have really enjoyed Eastwood's "Million Dollar Baby" and Scorcese's "The Aviator" but that won't stop me from seeing Shrek III IV or V with my grandkids. Lists and top tens suggest a snobbery that I'm really not party to. I love movies period.
 
David Lean
Stanley Kubrick
Alfred Hitchcock

These are still my top 3 and in that order. The ranking between these and my top twenty is so thin, the thickness of a human hair would stand a dozen stories tall.

So now my top twenty, with the above in a recap.

David Lean
Stanley Kubrick
Alfred Hitchcock
Frederico Fellini
Steven Spielberg
Michael Curtiz
Joseph Mankiewicz
John Huston
Martin Scorsese
Akira Kurosawa
Francis Ford Coppola
Ridley Scott
Quentin Tarantino
James Cameron
Victor Fleming
WS Van Dyke
Sergio Leone
Cecil B. DeMille
Peter Jackson
Robert Rodrigez
 
I like how *TOP 3* turned into Top 25 within 4 posts!! :shocked:

1. Tarantino - Style. Nuff' Said
2. Kubrick - Whatever JOHN....you know you liked 2001 & Clockwork
3. Darren Aronofsky - Pi, Requiem....2 instant Classics!!

~reservoir~
 
In no particular order

Ingmar Bergman
Stanley Kubrick
Michelangelo Antonioni
Federico Fellini
PT Anderson
David Lynch
Pedro Almodovar
Luis Buñuel
Andrei Tarkovsky
 
3 slightly off the beaten path selections:
Alfonso Cuaron- Y tu Mama Tambien, Prisoner of Azkaban
Errol Morris- Fast Cheap, & Out of Control, The Fog of War
Henry Hampton- Eyes on the Prize I & II (more often acknowledged as Producer than Director, but think it blends in the documentary world and he deserves recognition as both for the path he carved.)
 
I'll give you my top five/Six:


David Fincher - US: Fight Club, Se7en, Alien 3, Panic Room
Quentin Tarintino -US: Pulp Fiction, Kill Bill, Jackie Brown, Reservoir Dogs
Chan Wook Park - Korean: OLDBOY, JSA, Sympathy for Mr. Vengence, Sympathy for Lady Vengence
Akira Kurosawa - Japan: Seven Samurai, Yojimbo, Sanjuro, The Lower Depths, Ikuru, Ran, Dreams... the list goes on.
Stephen Chow/ Andrew Lau - Hong Kong: Kung Fu Hustle, Shaolin Soccer/ Infernal Affairs I-III

Um i know i went a little over but those are the one I base my career visuals and storys on.
