Best modern directors?

By modern I mean the earliest film of theirs can be made in the 90s. No directors from the 80s or 70s who still director today. Started in the 90s at earliest. Dont mess with the rules unless you want burnt toast in your shoes:evil:

1. Todd Solodnz

He is the master of modern dark comedy. Welcome to the dollhouse, happiness, storytelling, and palindromes are all fantastic, disturbing, and twisted. However dark they are, I always find them hilarious.

2. Shane Meadows

Dead man's shoes is one of the best revenge films ever, and this is england is one of the best films about racism. I always look forward to seeing his films.

3. John Hillcoat

4. Chan-wook park

5. Jean- Pierre Jeunet

Alien Resurection may have sucked, but his other films are all worth seeing.

6. Frank darabont

7. Fernando Meircelles

8. Paul Thomas Anderson

9. Ki-Duk kim

10. Alejandro gonzalez inarritu

I wasn't so into Babel though.

11. Nicolas winding refn

12. Christopher Nolan

13. David Fincher

14. Darren Aronofsky

15. Sam Mendes

16. Tarsem Singh

17. Alexander Payne

18. Alfonso Cuaron

19. Cristian mungu

20. Jason Reitman- He is much better than his dad.

21. Satoshi kon

22. Brad Anderson

23. Tomas Alfredson

24. Richard Linklater

25. Wes Anderson

Your list is missing Tarantino.

Guillermo del Toro

Alfonso Cuaron

Danny Boyle

Spike Jonze

5. Jean- Pierre Jeunet

I didnt know he wrote it. I actually thought that despite the film sucking it looked good visually like all his films. I also liked Ron Perlman.

I've really been impressed by Paul Thomas Anderson. I think he's a very, very talented young director-Sun_Tzu-

I agree with this. All films of his I've been very impressed with. I loved Boogie Nights and There Will Be Blood, and other ones of his I know of get a lot of attention as well.

Christopher Nolan... Nuff' said.

Love him, hate him - I think Quentin Tarantino has built up a good enough reputation to get a mention.

As for an animation Director, I think John Lasseter is one of the best animated film director's of our time. A lot of people tend to relate him as the Walt Disney of our time, and that's a very high merit to earn.

Christopher Nolan.

Memento.

Batman Begins.

The Prestige.

The Dark Knight.

And Inception looks fantastic.

Your list is missing Tarantino.

The only films of his I really like a lot are Reservoir dogs, and Inglorious basterds. The rest are fun, but not favorites. I quite liked Jackie Brown too actually. He might become a favorite eventually though.

Tim Burton is the best imo.

I didn't see that. :P

If Jason Reitman was the guy who made Juno, I'm glad he's on your list.

Martin Scorsese

Pee-Wee's Big Adventure used to be like the greatest movie ever created to me when I was little.

I didn't love Juno, but Up in the air, and Thank you for smoking are fantastic. Juno was good though despite it's overly hip dialogue. Shame a lot of people only know Ellen Page from that, she is much more diverse than that role. I hope she doesn't get typecast as that kind of character.

I guess, it still sounded a bit forced at times though. I don't see what would be wrong with making Juno an ordinary teenage girl.

I love David Fincher.

The Game and Fight Club. Two good, interesting movies.

Jim Jarmusch recent efforts like Broken Flowers were good.

The director of Das Boot.lm2f

Well again he has been around since before the 90s.

TC's list pretty much covers it.

The Prestige.battlefront23

I quite liked Ghost Dog, and Dead Man too. The Limits of control however was pretty average at best.
