1940s/1950s - HITCHCOCK owned the 40s and 50s as far as I'm concerned. His output between 1940 and 1959 is like a greatest hits album.
1960s - KUBRICK - 2 of my top 10 favorite films during this time: 2001 and Dr. Strangelove.
1970s/1980s - TIE: SPIELBERG/CARPENTER. I can't choose. Jaws. Escape from New York. 3 Indiana Jones films. Halloween. Close Encounters. The Thing.
1990s - TARANTINO - Reservoir Dogs. Pulp Fiction. Jackie Brown. At least TWO of those defined 90s cinema, lol.
2000s - PETER JACKSON - Lord of the Rings. 'nuff said.
