Top Favorite Directors . . . . .

M. Night Shamalan's "The Last Airbender" is coming out. And it's got me thinking. M. Night is a director known by his name, his style, and his films. Good or Bad depending on your side of the fence. He get's people talking, love or hate him. And gets people genuinely interested in film by his very unique style. If at some points derivative. (Aka ; the Hitchcock complex. I've got to appear in all my films. Which is more distracting than cute in for example "The Village".) 'Airbender' in his career also marks the first film he's directed he's not written.

Yes and I also love David Fincher

*Honorable Mention*

Hayao Miyazaki

10 Bob Fosse (Lenny, All that Jazz, Cabaret)

9 Orson Wells (I enjoy him more as a host, and actor than anything else, but his ability to draw you 100% into his characters and story is directing. Even if he's not the director.) (F is for Fake)

8 Billy Wilder (The Apartment, Some Like it Hot, Sunset Blvd.)

7 Park Chan-Wook (Oldboy and the Vengence Trilogy, Box, *not The Box* & Thirst *not the Austrailian film*)

6 Daron Aronofsky (The Fountian, Requiem for a Dream, Pi, The Wrestler)

5 Alfred Hitchcock (If you don't know who he is you probably shouldn't be reading this, there are too many good ones to name)

4 Quention Tarantino (I don't know what the award is. But man is it gaudy.)

3 Martin Scorsese (Also an imporant film preservationist.)

2 David Lean (Dr. Zhivago, Lawrence of Arabia, The Bridge on the River Kwai)

1 Stanley Kubrick

(Hell yeah it's an awesome set. He has the eye of a professional photographer and the mind of a chess player)

(My favorite documentaries are mostly stand alone, I have no bearings for documentary film directing greatness. But from what I've seen Errol Morris is mostly my speed.) (The Thin Blue Line, Mr. Death) And also a fan of Jessica Yu (The Realms of the Unreal) (Not to mention that I love her movie and passion for documentary, but also she's smoking damn hot.)
