I voted for Wes Anderson. I've seen all his films and they have a sense of humor that you either get or you don't. My favorite of his films is Bottle Rocket personally.

Watch the movie first and then you can argue

Went with Welles too, although I'm also a sucker for Tim Burton, Roberto Benigni, and Jean Renoir (come on La Grande Illusion? Amazing!)

Of this list, Kubrick or Scott for me. Welles screwed himself over and peaked too soon. And then there's his ego to deal with.

He might have peaked too soon, but what came after that is nothing short of incredible

I haven't seen Apocolypse Now yet, but if it sucks I'm blaming Marlon Brando for being a jerk, not him. |
Whoops! I forgot about Apoc Now. That was a good film indeed. Best war film? I don't know about that (I'm partial to Full Metal Jacket), but it was certainly worthwhile to see and own (I have it on one those high tech boxes known as VHS). MY MISTAKE! |
Full Metal Jacket is incredible also, specially the first part for me. But Apocalypse now is just so epic and ends up taking such an unexpected turn unlike any war movie I´ve ever seen... and Brando is incredible

Stanley Kubrick is the MASTER. He's ahead of every one, not only the ones in this list. The second preferred from this ones, is Ridley Scott, the third is David Lynch.

I'm far from a movie buff, but the works of David Lynch never fail to entice and engross me in every way.

I'm a big fan of lot of those directors (especially Kubrick, Allen and Lynch) but I just have to vote for Orson Welles. If only for Citizen Kane.

Gona have to be Ridley. The first Alien film was incredible and possibly one of the greatest films of all time. The atmosphere is so dark and the whole film is unnerving most of the way through, the suspense is yet to be touched. And Ridley managed to get all this out of n extremely low budget. He is, in the true sense of the word, a genius.

I donñy know who I should slap harder in the face, BroSpence for saying Ford never did anything more than three movies and not including Apocalypse now, which is the greatest war movie ever made and his achievement as director (along with Godfather 2) or Henry Plainview for saying that Apocalypse might suck, even if he did not see it, because of Marlon Brando... who is genius in that movie... please know what you are bashing before bashing it!

I couldn't vote here because Ed Wood, the greatest Hollywood director who ever graced a movie set with his magical vision is not on the list.
