Number Three: FRANCIS FORD COPPOLA (I'm a massive Godfather fan)

Number Five: QUENTIN TARANTINO (Pulp Fiction, period)
Number Six: KEVIN SMITH (Dogma, Chasing Amy...)
Number Seven: STEVEN SPIELBERG
Number Eight: WACHOWSKI BROTHERS
Number Nine: STANLEY KUBRICK
Number Ten: DOUG LIMAN

Actually, after careful consideration - I suppose I do like everyone on this list... Imagine that!?

Uh, I think the term "hack" being applied to Spielberg AND the Wachowskis is a huge exaggeration and not in the least bit fair.
