where are all the Italians? Fellini, Pasolini, Bertolucci, de Sica....
and how about Akira Kurosawa? ("Rashomon" is my all time favorite
movie). Rainer Werner Fassbinder? how about Truffaut? Jean Renoir?
Jean-Luc Godard? to name just a few French directors. I could go on and
on...

Scorsese from these. I love his early works, but the movies he has done after "Temptation of Christ" lack almost all of those elements I liked in his early works.

I've gone for Kubrick...he was like a Chameleon, as through his 12 movies, he covered just about every genre of film, and they all range from highly accomplished to masterpieces. ------------- Music has always been a matter of energy to me.

that was the thought which first crossed my mind too...especially as you had bothered to include Bergman.... ...and you also missed one of my faves off...Woody Allen... ------------- Music has always been a matter of energy to me.

| Kubrick is my all time favourite director by far. Ignmar Bergman comes in a close second, if his movies werent so often difficult to watch he would have won out. |

My vote goes to Orson Welles, but you're missing Charlie Chaplin, who was Hitchcock's biggest influence. ------------- "It's amazing that we've been able to put up with each other for 35 years. Most marriages don't last that long these days." -Chris Squire |

I voted for Ridley Scott. Scott always uses the most impressive camera angles. He's made sci-fi films like Blade Runner and more historical epics like Gladiator and Kingdom of Heaven, which is a very underrated movie. Stanley Kubrick had a very authentic style. He was very graphic and very blatent, both of those character traits seem to be missing nowadays. -------------

Stanley Kubrick tops this particular list for me, followed closely by Hitchcock, Ridley Scott, Francis Ford Coppola and Scorcesse David Lynch; Quentin Tarantino; Ken Russell; Tim Burton; Peter Jackson; Ang Lee ; Akira Kurosawa and Luc Besson are among the many of my favourite directors that are not on this list. I Think Jean and Friede summarized nicely the best of European directors not here. -------------
