I couldn't agree more!
IMO Kubrick was in every genre in which he directed movies groundbraking (= very progressive).

Joel Schumacher (no, no... I?m just kidding!LOL)
 
Great list of great directors. Without a doubt they are some of the most inffluential directors and their filmographies are full of trascendental movies in cinema history... But everyone has their regular movies too IMO...
 
No matter what my favourites are (in order)
Terry Gilliam
Andrei Tarkovski
Orson Welles
Jim Jarmusch
Stanley Kubrick
David Lynch
Sergio Leone
Werner Herzog
Federico Fellini
Tim Burton
F. Ford Coppola
Ingmar Bergman
Akira Kurosawa
Francois Truffaut
Jean Luc Goddard
Roman Polanski
 
And out of the list I really enjoy the work of David Cronenberg, Michelangelo Antonioni, Pier Paolo Pasolini, Todd Solondz, John Carpenter, Sam Peckinpah, John Ford, Carlos Reygadas, Sergei Einsenstein, Luis Buñuel, René Clair, Wong Kar Wai, Abel Ferrara, Terrence Malick, Michael Cimino (even when Gates Of Heaven is such a crap!), John Cassavettes, Sean Penn (The Pledge is awsome!), Billie August, Lindsay Anderson, Alexander Payne, Martin Scorsese, Fernando Solanas, Raoul Mamoulian, Michael Hanneke, the Coen brothers, Mira Nair, John Frankenheimer, Javier Fesser and of course two amazing chilean directors: Silvio Caiozzi and Miguel LIttin..

My vote has to go to Stanley Kubrick.   

IMO he was unique and unequallled in the sheer variety and originality he was able to put into his directing.

In several genres he did direct impressive classics, such as:

* Horror (The Shining)
* Science Fiction (2001: A Space Oddyssey)
* War (Full Metal Jacket)
* Historical epic (Spartacus)
* Comedy (Dr. Strangelove)
* Drama (A Clockwork Orange)

I have just seen this film, "The Return". Liked it immediately. There were some unexplained issues, but, nonetheless, quite a strong film. Thanks, Rocktopus!

Lately I've been very much into Tarkovski. So far I've seen Stalker, Solaris, Nostalghia and The Mirror, all of which I think are masterpieces. I can hardly wait for the Finnish DVD release of Andrei Rublev.

The daddy of them all?

Don't believe in me
