Favorite Movie Directors

[Valarya]

In lieu of the fact the Best Move you've Ever Seen thread has re-surfaced, I thought I'd start a similar thread, but about Directors!

I love movies.. and typically when I find a director I love, I stick with him/her. So here are my top favs, along with some of the best movies (in my opinion) they made. Hope you enjoy!

• Darren Aronofsky
  - True, he doesn't have as large of a filmography as some Directors in my list, but there isn't a bad one among them. *swoon
  Pi.
  The Wrestler.
  Black Swan.
  The Fountain.
  
  
  
• David Lynch
  - What's better than his ethereal and bizarre take on the Dreamworld in almost everything he does? Yes and yes please.
  Twin Peaks.
  Mulholland Drive.
  Inland Empire.
  Blue Velvet.
  
  
• John Carpenter
  - A Who's Who among horror and sci-fi film lovers. The minimal approach, the heightened suspense and the other-wordly music in his films makes them among my absolute favorite! Just seeing this list of movies makes me want to curl up on the couch when I get home. Love.
  Assault on Precinct 13.
  Escape from New York.
  The Thing (!!!!!).
  Big Trouble in Little China.
  They Live.
  
  
  
• Martin Scorsese
  - Does this man even need an introduction? Of course not. He's a god among Directors.
  Taxi Driver.
  Goodfellas.
  Casino.
  Gangs of New York.
  The Aviator.
  
  
  
• Roman Polanski
  - Regardless of the scandal, you have to admit this guy gets it right almost every time. His sweeping tales make you forget where you are in time as you plunge head-first in the world he wants you to see.
  The Pianist.
  Chinatown.
  Rosemary's Baby.
  The Ninth Gate.
  The Ghost Writer.
  
  
  
• Peter Jackson
  - I couldn't make this list without adding the guy who brought my favorite tale to life. I know you know him, but did you know he was a great campy-horror director back in the day, too? Not only did he stay as true as he could (and the scale of it, the SCALE!) to Tolkien's work, he made some bizarro and great 80s flicks.
  Lord of the Rings Trilogy.
  Meet the Feebles. (not kid-friendly!)
  Heavenly Creatures.
  Bad Taste.
  King Kong.
  

Okay. YOUR TURN!!!!
