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

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

Well Bro didn't seem to think it was good, and I was reading on Wikipedia how FFC had to shoot him in shadow because he showed up 20 points overweight and had not read Heart of Darkness.

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.

It has it moments - I quite like it, but it's not up to his usual standard - I've got Tideland too, but haven't watched it yet

oka, no, not Planet of the grApes - hate that, and haven't seen Sweeny Todd because I cannot abide musicals.
How is AngelA? I just heard bad things about it...
I bought that at the same time as Tideland and haven't watched it yet either
I´ve gotta watch Wings of desire!!!
Yes. and not the Hollywood rehash either.

I know this won't be especially popular in here, but my favourite director is Woody Allen...up until 1992's Husbands & Wives that is....after that, his output has been 'patchy' to say the least...

Music has always been a matter of energy to me. On some nights I believe that a car with the needle on empty can run 50 more miles if you have the right music very loud on the radio. Hunter S Thompson

Have you seen Match Point? IMO it's a major masterpiece, standing next to Annie Hall and Hannah & Her Sisters as his top films.

Finally someone mentions Fellini! 8 1/2 must be among the top 10 masterpieces of modern cinema

I must say Match point is not one of my favorite Allen movies... in fact I think it´s quite possible the one I like the least

^ it is indeed probably his only film with none of the typical Woody Allen traits - which makes Allen even more amazing to me
