Martin Scorcese (only got "Taxi Driver SE" so far)
David Cronenberg (only got "Naked Lunch CC" so far)

1. Alfred Hitchcock
2. Billy Wilder
3. Peter Jackson (mainly for the LOTR)
4. Baz Lurhman
5. Zhang Yimou
6. Ang Lee

1.orson welles- because he's the best. he fights the forces of darkness. Forces of darknes BE-WARE!

2. larry cohen- 'cause someone has to give him some respect.

3. charles laughton- only made one film, but what a film it was!

4. john carpenter- lots of rewatch value

5. hitchcock- because he's hitch.

6. any director with the name bud or hal

7. terrence malick- out of the 3 films he's made, all 3 are amazing.

8. paul lynch- kicks david's ass.

9. sergio leone- there is no other.

10. and perhaps the best director of all time, jeff kanew

How come perhaps the best director of all time only gets the 10 spot?

Perhaps you can suggest some great directing efforts from Paul Lynch and Jeff Kanew that are available on DVD.

1. Takeshi Kitano
2. Ang Lee
3. John Woo (only Face-off and before)
4. David Fincher
5. Steven Spielberg
6. Danny Boyle
