Paul Verhoeven: Total Recall
Ridley Scott: Allien & Blade Runner
Steven Spielberg: JAWS, Close Encounter of the Third Kind, E.T.
Fritz Lang: Metropolis
James Cameron: the Terminator

For CGI:
James Cameron: the Abyss
Wachowski Siblings: The Matrix
Christopher Nolan: Inception (maybe to fresh)
Robert Zemeckis: Forrest Gump
David Fincher: Zodiac
Martin Scorcese: the Aviator

Well that is it me for now. I hope this is what you all mean by this

Well i was mainly talking about CGI and at a push, optical FX so i'm not sure the (amazing) special FX work of The Thing or An American Werewolf in London would qualify. Although yes, they are great.
