2. Satoshi Kon.
3. John Hughes.
4.John Lasseter.
5. Chuck Jones.
6.James L. Brooks.
7. Mel Brooks.
8.Loren Bouchard.
I got more. But list will go on forever!

Kubrick and Spielberg are at the top of my list for obvious reasons.

Shit, for me it would probably be Alfred Hitchcock, John Carpenter (The Thing, anyone?), and Charlie Chaplin (the man was not only really funny, but was a really passionate filmmaker!).

Great choices ,guys! To Kenny: I love Alfred Hitchcock and John Carpenter too.

To LaughingMan: I'm not really big with Kubrick and Spielberg. But the films I love they made are
Full Metal Jacket, Close Encounters of the Third Kind,Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade and Hook.

You should really check out Chaplin, if you haven't! He may be a silent film actor, but I took his movies to camp with me when I was a counselor, and the kids I showed them to loved them! The Gold Rush and The Great Dictator are really good ones! He not only acted in these films, but he directed them himself, so he knew exactly what he wanted out of his movies, and they are regarded as some of the greats! Comedy gold, my friend!

And my favorite ice cream is rocky road and my favorite color is navy blue. yawn

What is the point of this thread again? For chrissakes put a spin on the topic it to make it interesting. What are the directors you hate? What are your favorite directors who were lecherous old men who casted women in return for sexual favors?

To Kenny: I seen Charlie Chaplin's work. He's really good. But the silent film directors I really like are Buster Keaton and D. W. Griffith.

It sounds like somebody is having a bad day. It's just too bad that you have to share it with the rest of us.

Stephen Spielberg?

Actually, call me a party-pooper, but I'm with AWX on this one See, Spielberg, Kubric, Fincher, Boyle, Nolan — here, I've listed the first personal favorite directors that came to my mind. What's there left to discuss?

The key to great topic — just as AWX's already pointed out — is to have an interesting, vital topic that will subsequently lead to a compelling, reasonable debate in which, hopefully, all the participants will learn something new or at least understand their interlocutor's standpoint more clearly. The Internet is already polluted with "Who's your favorite X, Y and Z" kind of topics, we don't need another one here, too

Oh man, I really want to see Buster's stuff. I've heard really good things, but I haven't ever gotten around to it . As for D.W. Griffith, I've only ever seen parts of Birth of a Nation, but that is as far as I've gone with him .
