Your Favourite Movie/TV Director?

The Master



R.I.P.

Oh as an Honorable mention.

Mel Brooks

This is my list after Kubrick

And I screwed my list up by writing the main actor's name instead of the director... 

Kubrick.

James Cameron. He's not only cool and has a good eye for what's cool, he's the only total package director in that he knows every part of movie making outside of being a musician & doing CGI;

- he's actually a talented artist that can draw highly detailed concept art & matte paintings
- knows how cameras work and even pushes this technology forward
- is a writer
- nobody understands good action scenes better (even did the action scenes for Rambo II)
- editing skills
- practical special effects
- etc.

Basically on set James Cameron knows how to do everyone's job and better. There's a reason why he's notorious for being a perfectionist.

I don't really have a favorite director, but if I had to pick one, it would be Pre-2000's Ridley Scott. I am forever grateful for Alien and Bladerunner, a ton of his other movies are enjoyable too.

Too bad he has gone senile, which is the only explanation I have for his recent load of rancid turds he calls movies. Especially the new asinine Alien trash flicks. The hell?

I thought Bridge of Spies was actually a pretty good film. 

Was patiently waiting to see if anyone would mention Sergio Leone, the master of pure cinema.

John Ford

I'm down with this, except for Burton. I think he's overrated.

Otherwise, another great not yet mentioned: John Carpenter



And a lesser known director, but one still I still find myself liking most if not all of his movies- Vincenzo Natali, director of Cube.
