Probably the greatest Director in history, this man never made a bad film. From Paths of Glory to Eyes Wide Shut, this man has explored virtually every inch of the human condition.

Martin Scorsese

The guy that gave us Raging Bull and Goodfellas took his love for New Wave cinema and turned it into some of the best American films ever.

3

Hayao Miyazaki

The master of animation Miyazaki has created better cinema than most Directors in the world. Spirited Away and Princess Mononoke are to name a few, but the man has many works. All telling honest, heart warming, and visually stunning stories about life and the power that we all have within ourselves.

Terrence Malick

One of the best visual Directors out there. This man could tell a story with out having any dialogue. He made Badlands and Thin Red line, which are personal favorites.

5

Paul Thomas Anderson

This man has taken on Oil, P**n, and family issues better then any man of the past twenty years. He directed the best actor to one of the greatest performances in history, and he still isn't even 40.

6

Gus Van Sant

This Director has given us Good Will Hunting, Elephant, and his latest Milk. An advocate for gay rights and all around genius, Gus Van Sant can make any kind of movie. He can tell a story about breaking through the odds or a visually gripping movie about school shootings.

7

Akira Kurosawa

The greatest of all the Japanese Directors. Kurosawa has put his own spin on Samurais and courtroom drama. He has also taken Shakespeare to new heights and told us about his Dreams in some of the most vibrant ways in history.

Judd Apatow

The king of funny right now, and a man that destroys cliche Apatow is the man. He has only made three movies so far, but all of them are truthful, beautiful, and hilarious. He has already solidified his spot as one of the best comedic Directors ever. Don't believe anyone Funny People is a good movie.

Jean-Pierre Jeunet

Amelie is what he is known for, but he use to work with a man named Mark Caro. Together they created Delicatessen and The City of Lost Children. Some how through all of his fantastic and special effects laden work there is always truth in his work.

Roman Polanski

A master of horror, and king of mystery Polanski has given us a body of work that spans almost a half century. Rosemary's Baby will scare you, Chinatown will baffle you, and The Pianist will move you.
