I've got to put Steven Spielberg at the top easily. Band of Brothers, Back to the Future, Schindlers List, Saving Private Ryan, Jurassic Park, Poltergeist, Minority Report, War of the Worlds, Indiana Jones, Munich, A.I., Duel... I could go on and on.

Honorable mentions would go to David Fincher (Seven, Fight Club, Panic Room), Tarantino (Pulp Fiction, From Dusk Till Dawn, Reservoir Dogs, Jackie Brown, Kill Bill), Martin Scorcese (Casino, Taxi Driver, Bringing Out the Dead, Goodfellas, Gangs of New York, Raging Bull), M. Night Shyamalan (Unbreakable, The Sixth Sense, Signs), and of course the man who drew the blueprint for mystery/suspense thrillers... Hitchcock (Rear Window, Vertigo, Rope, The Birds, The Man Who Knew Too Much, Psycho).
 
Steven Spielberg, Ron Howard, Ridley Scott and Martin Scorsese,

I am becoming more and more impressed with Clint Eastwood as a director. He has been putting out some really good movies lately (Flags of our Fathers the latest goodie)
 
Andrei Tarkovsky.

His films were works of art. He sculpted time, to borrow one of his phrases. He presented a mirror for humanity to see itself. He showed us what the long take could really do. What sparse sound could really do. How a drop of water in a scene was like an explosive symbol of a character's mind.

He gave us Solaris, Mirror, Nostalghia, Andrei Rublev, Ivan's Childhood, The Sacrifice, Stalker.

He was unable to give us more because of the nature of the Soviet bureacracies that governed film production.

But, these films alone were worth the struggle.
 
Steven Spielberg because I know him personally. I worked with him on the set of 'Natural Born Killers' Steve is a very artistic. Very detailed in his work. Not to mention the line of movies under his belt. But the new actor/director I like alot is Clint Eastwood. Some say his movies are corny. But many of them hit home on personal levels.
 
Clint Eastwood movies, acted in, and/or directed, and/or produced.
 
With @ least 3 showery days forecast, I guess it's time to flag up all genres of..

Best of...& why??

Enjoy!
