Stamp of approval on this list.

1. Michael Mann

2. George A. Romero (older days)

3. Zach Snyder

4. Darren Aronofsky

5. Peter Jackson

Favorite is Steven Spielberg. No director has had such an impact on the industry as him.

He has done every thing from block busters (inventing the term), family clas sics (like ET), and emotional Oscar works (Schindler's list)

at the top of my head, Peter Weir, Client Eastwood, Kathryn Bigelow, Stephen Spielberg, Michael Mann. I have many other favourites beside these directors, but Peter Weir will always top my list. so glad that his new film is coming out soon~~ :D

Kubrick is current?

SuperSaiyanLink

Yes that was rather a silly mistake. I was going to say "Current Interests" as I've been going back over his films lately, but then I decided to change it and sort of mashed the two things I was trying to list. I'm not good at lists as I'm not fond of making them as you see.

Ah, I see. I kind of thought that it may have been current interests. I'm going to have to check out Bong Joon-ho's filmography, loved The Host.

I would recommend Memories of Murder and Mother as they are both exceedingly good films.

And why do foreign directors get more credit simply because they're...foreign? I've seen mother is and it's just a mediocre movie.GeneralShowzer
