From your list, it's a toss-up between Lynch and Kubrick...
Has Krzysztof Kieslowski been mentioned yet? Jim Jarmusch?
Also, Asia has been neglected so far, what about:
Wong Kar-Wai, Kim Ki-Duk, Chan-wook Park, Hayao Miyazaki
(I'm not saying you should've put these on your list, just pointing out some of my favorites that haven't been mentioned yet).

Miyazaki is one of my favorites too. I watched Spirited Away (with English subs) and it was great. I think I might watch it again pretty soon now that I think about it.

Well Kubrick is amazing, but I'll vote for Lynch, since he is generally an underrated director.

A toss up between Kubrick and Ridley Scott and I eventually went for the former - 2001, A Clockwork Orange, Barry Lyndon and Dr Stangelove would be pretty impressive on anyone's CV.
My personal favourites are Alfred Hitchcock, Sergio Leone and Nicholas Roeg. The latter seems to get forgotten a bit but he had an incredible run of unique films with Performance, Walkabout, Don't Look Now and The Man Who Fell To Earth.

Looking at the list, that's not too far off, actually.
