The Best Director.....

[Laice07]

A very hard choice, since well all of them of directed some of the greatest films ever. I seriously can't choose, but if I had to, I'd choose Martin Scorsese.

I didn't vote because I think there's too many directors that have come and gone and are still here to summarise the greatest directors into nine options plus an other option.

But I think the best director ever is Billy Wilder.

[Ananas]

Other. Frank Capra.

[damhausen]

Akira Kurosawa because Damshow marks for Seven Samurai.

[GhostMachine]

CTHB knows his stuff. I'd have to go with Billy Wilder, too. But with Hitchcock and Welles tied for second.

However, that would be for best overall director. For best action director, I'd have to go with someone who isn't even listed: John Woo.

[Sir Alan LCSugar]

Martin Scorcese for me. He is quality.

[The Dork Knight]

Other. Kevin Smith.

[stokeriño]

Torn between Orson Welles and Akira Kurosawa...

[FLiam]

Francis Ford Coppola because I find Apocalypse Now so mindblowingly good.

[ChrisSteeleAteMyHamster]

Kurosawa because pretty much every style utilised in cinema these days comes from him.

You watch his films and think "This is a bit cliche", then you realise that it was 40 years ago and he INVENTED all this stuff.

Character development, action, setting, mood, style, storytelling....Kurosawa is the best.

Kubrick would place second.

Akira Kurosawa is the greatest ever. To me it's not even a remotely tough question.

[Pepsi]

Kubrick will always be my favorite directer of all-time.

[Guest Mr McFarlane]

Kurosawa for moi. His movies are extremly delicious.

[Liam]

I don't watch many films, but the films that have most impressed me have either come from Kubrick, or Takashi Miike.
