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.

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.

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.
