Lightbulb Favorite Film Director?

Who is your All-Time (active/retired/deceased) favorite film director, your favorite Active film director, and your favorite female director?

Could all be the same person for some. The reason I included female is because I noticed that 19 of my top 20 directors were men, so for such a male-saturated field, I am interested in seeing differing perspectives on female directors you've connected with.

All-Time: Ingmar Bergman
Active: Darren Aronofsky & Michael Haneke
Female: Andrea Arnold

What is interesting to me is how I tend to find that many of my favorite films each year turn out to be heavily influenced by Bergman (perhaps much of film is, but still). And I found that Aronofsky's work and philosophy is influenced by Haneke.

It's been over 10 years since the last favorite director thread so I figured I'd start a fresh thread and change the OP a bit. You can include a top 10 for each as well, but since those lists can go on forever, I'm mainly asking for the above two.

Active (I'll watch anything these directors make):
[Show spoiler]1. Darren Aronofsky, Michael Haneke
3. Andrey Zvyagintsev
4. Yorgos Lanthimos
5. Asghar Farhadi
6. Alejandro Inarritu
7. Guillermo del Toro
8. Alfonso Cuaron
9. Quentin Tarantino
10. Damien Chazelle
11. Lars von Trier
12. Jacques Audiard
13. Pedro Almodovar
14. Denis Villanueva
15. Steve McQueen
16. Terrence Malick
17. Coen Bros.
18. Paul Thomas Anderson
19. Andrea Arnold
20. Ari Aster

Inactive/Deceased:
1. Bergman
2. Miyazaki
3. Bunuel
4. Kurosawa
5. Resnais
6. Chaplin
7. Kubrick
8. Godard
9. Kar-Wai Wong
10. Satoshi Kon
