There have been alot of 'favourite' posts, but I haven't seen a favourite director one yet. This can include tv, movie, video clips, theatre etc.

My favourite director is Terry Gilliam. His movies include:

Time bandits

Brazil

The Adventures of Baron Muchausen

Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas

Both of those, and Sam Raimi, Paul Verhoven, Oliver Stone, George A Romero, Kevin Smith (although mainly for his writing), and that's all I can think of off the top of my head.

I figured that I didn't actually have to mention his brilliant work on Monty Python.

Ridley Scott is another awesome director as well.

Speilburg sucks! ET was the worst movie I've ever seen!
Anyway, Terry Gilliam does rock, but I also like Jhonen Vasquez, the guy who directed the original "Night of the Living Dead" (I forgot his name)...Yeah that's it, really.

Masanori Hata is my fav.

Anyone can direct like kubrick, just have tons of wide angle shots, and hold it 30 seconds longer than you need to.

I forgot about the directors who used to be good, then turned all sucky and/or disappeared into obscurity...
Jonathan Woo before Hollywood infected him,
James Cameron before he did that crappy 3 hour shitefest about that ship,
Wesley Craven, before he decided to curl off a huge steamer on the horror genre,
John Carpenter, cos he doesn't really do anything these says, where the hell is he?
Timothy Burton, all going good till Planet of the Apes, and all he's done since then was the overrated Big Fish
I want these guys to become good again and make something decent.

Hmmm good question.
Hard to go past Tarantino though. Made two of my most favouritest movies in Pulp Fiction and Resevior Dogs.
Guy Ritchie also does some good films. Love me crim movies.
And I like the cut of M. Night Shyamalan jib. I sooo need to see the Village when it comes out.

Favorite directors ... right ... there could be a number ... let me see if I can remember em:

Terry Gilliam: Monty Python and 12 Monkeys.
Paul Verhoven: Mainly Total Recall and Starship Troopers.
Ridley Scott: Alien etc ... basically Kirby Smith went there.
Steven Spielberg: Especially for Close Encounters of the third kind but also new like AI and more.
George Lucas: For Star Wars episode 4 ... though not really a great director.
M. Night Shyamalan: For 6th Sense and Unbreakable, two really intelligent and thoughtfull movies.
James Cameron: For the good stuff he did like T1+T2 and Aliens.
David Lynch: For Dune.
David Fincher: For Alien 3 and Fight Club.

At the risk of forgetting someone ... I will leave it at that.

Cybermaze! You mentioned Gilliam without mentioning his best film (brazil), shame on you!

Adding to list:
Tim Burton (keeping in mind AT's very true comments)
James cameron (see above)
Sergio Leone ('Once upon a Time in America', classic, moody, dark, absolute swansong)
Alfonso Cuaron (y maba was pretentious shite, but he gets kudos for saving harry potter)

Mr. Teapot I cannot mention films I have not seen, nor films I hardly feel I would like.

Dustin G. You are absolutely right. I even own the Robocop DVD Trilogy box with all three films and a bunch of extras. But as I stated. At the risk of forgetting something ... I will leave it at that.

I got the Robocop trilogy too, the Robocop director's cut fucking rules, but the less said about the third film, the better. I already mentioned Paul Verhoven as one of my favourites, pretty much all his films rule, except Showgirls, but we can't hold that against him cos he put loads of naked women to ballance out the shit story, which not many other non-porn directors would.

Exactly. But at least it makes the Robocop series a cool DVD-trilogy.

Ahhh...Starship Troopers was poorly marketed (not knocking Blur or anything), it was intended as a comedy but marketed as an action blockbuster. It parodies fascism and old war films brilliantly, as well as being hella violent.

True, although a lot of people didn't get the satire cos it probably had the wrong audience due to the poor marketing. It works as both though I guess, a sci-fi action movie and a satirical take on fascist society and America's gung-ho war policies.
