Your favorite director ???

[Simon le Jedi]

Who is your favorite director? Mine is Danny boyle for 28 days later and Sunshine. I think his movies are the best cause they are all really original. I don't think Slumdog Millionaire is his greatest movie though, but it was good.

Ridley Scott, Michael Bay and Quentin Tarantino are also very good imo.

[Bluubyu]

Ridley Scott, Quentin Tarantino get my nod.

[Sussudio]

just for future reference, Simon, this type of question would belong in the movies/tv forum, located here:
https://forum.blu-ray.com/forumdisplay.php?f=63

but to answer your question, mine is james cameron. i've followed his career for a long time and believe him to be one of the finest directors of our time. can't wait for Avatar in December.

David Lynch by a mile.

Tarantino, Hitchcock, Nolan, Kubrick...

[sfmarine]

Hmm Lucas - for the trilogy
Spielberg for JP, Jaws and SL, Raiders, and SPR
Kubrick- for giving us some great masterpieces.
Peter Jackson- Probably the best director of the decade. He's even bringing us Halo!

[toef]

Hitchcock, Capra, Ford.

Not necessarily in that order.

I don't have a favorite though the directors who I will watch anything they make are: (It doesn't mean everything they make is good or great, but with these guys, I don't even look at the cast or the plot when deciding if I want to see it.)

Francis Ford Coppola - Godfather I & II, The Conversation, Bram Stoker's Dracula

Martin Scorsese - Mean Streets, Raging Bull, Taxi Driver, Goodfellas, Gangs of NY

Howard Hawks - Only Angels Have Wings, His Girl Friday, Ball of Fire, To Have and Have Not, The Big Sleep

Alfred Hitchcock - Notorious, Spell Bound, North By Northwest, Suspicion, Rear Window

Billy Wilder - Sunset Boulevard, Double Indeminty, The Apartment

Danny Boyle - Trainspotting, Sunshine, Shallow Grave

Alex Proyas - The Crow, Dark City

Walter Hill - Hard Times, The Warriors

I would have to agree to a certain extent, purley on the fact that a director alone can pull in the crowds, but, if like me you have nearly a thousand dvds and a collection of blu-rays that have a large mix, then there is never a 'favourite'

It all depends on the mood i am in when watching a movie.

[mpstjohn]

David Fincher, Christopher Nolan and David Cronenberg.

I'll believe it when I see it. That project is in development hell, and it isn't getting out anytime soon. Too much conflict with Microsoft and potential studios. In addition much of the preliminary Halo script became GI Joe. I'd be surprised if Halo is out before 2013.

As for the favorite director question, I don't know if I really have one. I was a big Kevin Smith fan for a while, but haven't really loved his movies since Jersey Girl. I suppose I could go with Nolan purely because of the Batman movies, Memento, and The Prestige.

[ThereWillBeBud]

No love for PTA?

Paul Thomas Anderson, Robert Altman, Kubrick, and George A. Romerp

[Simon le Jedi]

Sorry my mistake
