Favorite Director?
It's pretty self-explanatory. Sorry if I made any spelling errors.
*edit*
most people are complaining about my short list of directors to choose from. I wanted to see who was everyones favorite director out of the ones in my list, not everyones favorite director of all time. Besides, if I listened to everybody's comments, then the list would be too long.

Based on his 2 movies being two of my top 10 or 15 of all time, I would have to say Spike Jonze (being john malkovich and adaptation).

We don't get an other choice, or at least who do you like best from this list?
Anyway, I can't decide. Maybe Orsen Welles, or Francis Ford Coppola (in spite of the fact that he hasn't made a great movie for years, he had a great run there). Also considered Wes Anderson, Hitchcock, and Billy Wilder.
From your list, I'd probably pick Scorcese.

No Hitchcock????????
I vote close thread, add Hitch, Hawkes, Stone, and either Welles, Ford or the Coens AND change title to favorite AMERICAN director (which if u do, then scratch Hitch and Jackson (who shouldn't be on the list in the first place, not yet at least) and add the others).
By the way, my vote is Kubrick, closely followed by Hitchcock, then Spielberg and Scorcese would be my #3 and 4.

Well, Hitchcock was an American filmmaker in that he made American films (all his films from Rebecca in 1940 to Family Plot in 1976 were American films).

This is the saddest excuse for a poll I've yet seen in this forum. We get the Farrelly Brothers and Peter Jackson, but no Orson Welles and Jean Renoir. Yeah, right.
My favorite director is Wim Wenders, followed by John Ford, Jean-Luc Godard, Ingmar Bergman, and Wong Kar-Wai.
Also, learn to spell Scorsese's name right.
