Time for my two cents worth.....

Greatest directors..... Of course that depends on your personal tastes in films.

The following are the directors I admire the most. In no particular order

Alfred Hitchcock
Steven Speilberg
David Lean
William Wyler
Billy Wilder
George Stevens
Robert Wise
John Ford
Elia Kazan
Frank Capra

Well it would be easy for me to say Spielberg because he is my favorite but there is someone he, and everyone else I like, mention as a huge influence on their careers, although I'm not familiar with his work very much.

John Ford

What do you guys think?

Also, he doesn't get mentioned in these lists often because he is foreign but Akira Kurosawa is AWSOME as well.

John Ford made my top ten list.
