Who's your favorite director?

[Neural Shock]

Hands down my #1: Ridley Scott.

I finally saw The Duelist on the pay channels about 2 weeks ago, completing my viewing of everything he's done.

That's one of his best IMO. Great flick.

David Cronenberg - adore nearly everything he's done
Shane Meadows - best of british, good body of work, really understands his characters
Larry Clark - understands youth better than the young, fucked up, perverted, bleak
Ridley Scott - for Blade Runner alone (yeah Alien is amazing too but Blade Runner just stands above all else as a directorial feat for me)

Why have you bolded 5 of them?

My top 3 would be Stanley Kubrick, Werner Herzog and Martin Scorsese, I guess. I find it very hard to rank them, definitely harder than ranking individual movies, but Kubrick is definitely at the top.

I've got huge respect for David Lean, Francis Ford Coppola (for his work in the 70s), Steven Spielberg, Peter Jackson, the Coen brothers, Akira Kurosawa, Clint Eastwood, Peter Weir and Sergio Leone.

For fun, I love John Carpenter (his 80s work), John Landis, Terry Jones and Robert Zemeckis.

Others i've been very impressed by, but need to see more of are Andrei Tarkovsky and Wim Wenders.
