Not mentioning the most obvious one.

E.T and Shindlers list were both shit anyway.

And Saving Private Ryan was very overrated.

Tim Burton, Baz Luhrmann, Peter Jackson, Coen Brothers.

I liked yours, except for Baz Luhrmann. Don't quite get that one.

Coen Brothers and Burton are great though.

Yeah not many people get the Baz Luhrmann one. I just like how he tries to recapture romanticism in such exaggerated and extravagant ways. He's a bit lame, but I've pretty much enjoyed every film he's directed in some way.

And I think most of Spielberg's films are overrated to be honest.

No offense, but I personally think Baz Luhrmann is a worthy candidate for worst director to ever get any kind of critical acclaim, don't get me wrong, there's nothing wrong with style over substance, but goddamn, is this guy's editor an ADD afflicted chimpanzee? Moulin Rouge had the most excessive use of cutaway I've ever seen. I usually love abrasiveness in film but this guy takes it way way waaaaaaay too far.

I just can't stand his work aside from Romeo + Juliet which was decent. Strictly Ballroom and Moulin Rouge were just incredibly hammy and overbearing.

Great call on Burton, Coens and Jackson though.

It's weird, but I usually enjoy the 'making of' more than the film itself. Spielberg's ingenuity on the set is brilliant.

Why did I only see Tim mentioned in the top ten of people twice? This makes me a sad bunnie.=*(

Well, not everyone is into the gothic style.

I've heard some cynicism about his upcoming Alice movie and that he's becoming a parody of himself, but these people can shove it, I admit Johnny Depp as the Mad Hatter was a predictable choice (gee Tim, Depp is great and all, but you don't have to cast him in ALL of your movies) but this is Alice in Wonderland, the kind of subject matter Burton was born to do, so yet again I look forward to seeing his next film.

Yeah, I'm aware that he can get a little annoying. And oddly enough he doesn't really get that much critical acclaim here at all. A lot of his techniques are not my style but I can appreciate him for what he sets out to do and I admire that. And you're entirely correct when you say his films are 'hammy' because they are - they are theatrically exaggerated but in a very self-conscious way. And I know you can try to talk up bad directors but saying "Oh, but he means to do that" but in Baz Luhrmann's case he really does mean to. I found Romeo + Juliet and Moulin Rouge really great. I love the whole theatre motif. Don't even talk to me about Australia, though... *shudder*

To be honest, I haven't really paid that much attention to the directors of movies, like I probably should...so at the moment the only person I have that comes to mind is Peter Jackson.

This post makes all posts I will ever see of you moot.....

Have you ever seen a war movie before Saving Private Ryan? Spielberg changed the war movie genre...

Cadrian: Ridley Scott, Kevin Smith, Steven Spielberg, John Woo, Paul Thomas Anderson, Martin Scorsese, Coen Brothers, Stanley Kubrick, Quentin Tarantino and Akira Kurosawa

I guess thats my list..... I really want and need it to be longer
Runners Up I guess, but really I just thought about after I came up with my first ten.
Luc Besson
Ji-woon Kim
Clint Eastwood
Werner Herzog
Tony Scott
Jon Favreau
I think my list could keep going and I know I missing some people that should be there.... I hate making list because I am always so undecided.
