What is the best movie director of all times? I would say David Lynch, Tim Burton and Quentin Tarantino. But there are so many other directors, but these are my favourites. What do you say guys?

[rupert_pupkin]

Mike Leigh - Films of great humanity.

Also Scorcese is wonderful

[SIREN30]

My three all time favorites are, as everyone knows by this time, Frank Capra, Alfred Hitchcock, and Peter Weir

[Danny L]

Dave Beauchene!
If you haven't heard of Beauchene or his films, you don't know movies.

[Puck Bond]

Stanley Kubrick

[toonwizz]

spielberg
michael curtiz
scorsese
ron howard
john ford

[FlickJunkie]

Sam Mendes
Tim Burton
M. Night Shyamalan
James Cameron

They all make great films, even though Sam Mendes has only made one movie...it's my favorite movie, though.

That is not entirely true. I know plenty about movies or films as I would call them. I don't think you even spelled the name right. NO ONE MENTIONED: Andrei Tarkovsky, have you heard of him samudan? Have you seen Solaris?

[Favourite end]

Ok, I`m not samudan, but I`ll answer, too to the upper question.Yes, I`ve seen Solaris.By the way, there are many good directors from Russia, not only Tarkovsky.I like many directors, because everyone of them has his/her own vision, which is very interesting.But I love only one of them -Spielberg.

1. Stanley Kubrick
2. Andrei Tarkovski
3. Jean-Luc Godard
4. Theo Angelopoulos
5. Robert Bresson
6. François Truffaut
7. Akira Kurosawa
8. David Lynch
9. Steven Spielberg
10. Luis Bunuel

SCORSESE

Tarantino and Stone are tied for second place!

[James Logan]

I didn't answer this one yet? Weird. Thought so.
Anyway...I love Tim Burton, Steven Soderbergh, George Lucas and Ron Howard. But the ultimate has to be STEVEN SPIELBERG and I think you all know by now he's just the best for me!!!
