I have to say though that Kubrick did not do well with Barry Lyndon...good god that was boring

Kubrick is my favorite Director, and the only film of his that I have any problems with is EWS, and that's only because of the two leads.

I guess "Hook" knocks out Spielberg, right?
How about Hitchcock? John Huston?
How about Clint Eastwood, acting or directing, minus anything involving an orangutan or other primate.

Depp's biggest flaw is 2 of his first films, Private Resort and Cry Baby ( I have never cared for Watters so YMMV). I was disapointed in the endings of Astronaut's Wife and Nineth Gate.

Sidney Poitier - one of the few actors I really believe has never made a bad movie.

I also want to bring up Luis Bunuel and Akira Kurosawa as two directors who had amazing consistancy thoughout their long and prolific careers.
Wong Kar Wai is a more current perfectionist director who's each subsequent film has increasingly amazed me.

lol @ "Kubrick is my favorite Director, and the only film of his that I have any problems with is EWS, and that's only because of the two leads."
Yeah like the leads in FMJ, 2001 and Barry Lyndon were so strong.

Im going to say Alfred Hitchcock, even though Im sure some will disagree with me because of films like "Family Plot" and "Rope", but I have yet to watch a Hitchcock film that I didnt like.

Off the top of my head in alphabetical order:
Alexander Paine (Hasn't done much, but good work thus far with a definite ear for cynical humor)
Almodovar (If he wasn't a director he'd make a great interior designer)
Amenabar (As a director, writer, and composer he's one to watch)
Ang Lee (Wonderfully diverse storyteller)
Aronofsky (Still early but shows definite promise)
Cohen Brothers (Defining cerebral filmmaking)
Hitch (Personally, I love Rope and despise Family Plot)
Jean-Peirre Jeunet (Overlooking Alien 4...I'll blame the shoplifter)
Julio Medem (Yet another Spanish filmmaker to keep an eye on)
Kubrick (What's left to say?)
Lynch (Even his failures are wonderous mobius strips)
Malick (Dissecting human behavior like very few do)
Sam Mendes (Early, but I'll miss seeing him paired up with copilot Connie Hall)
Nolan (Too early to tell)
Wong Kar-Wai (In The Mood for Love is a Masterpiece of filmmaking)
Woody (Personally I love him, excusing the occasional misstep)
Thus the list doth end....carpel setting in.
