I agree with those of you who listed Frank Capra, Steven Spielberg, and Robert Zemeckis.
Since everyone has already listed their movies, I’ll just continue on.....

George Cukor
Dinner at Eight (1933), The Women (1939), The Philadelphia Story (1940), Gaslight (1944), A Star is Born (1954), Les Girls (1957), My Fair Lady (1964). He also had a hand in The Wizard of Oz and Gone with the Wind.

Michael Curtiz
Captain Blood (1935), The Adventures of Robin Hood (1938), The Sea Hawk (1940), Casablanca (1942), Mildred Pierce (1945),

Stanley Donen
On The Town (1949), Singin' In The Rain (1952), Seven Brides for Seven Brothers (1954), The Pajama Game (1957), Damn Yankees! (1958)

Vincent Minnelli
Meet Me in St Louis (1944), An American in Paris (1951), Father of the Bride*(1950), Brigadoon (1954), The Band Wagon (1953), Gigi (1958),

Mark Sandrich
Gay Divorcee (1934), Top Hat (1935), Shall We Dance (1937), Holiday Inn*(1942)


..............................................................
Also...Directors that I’d love to see more from....

Rob Reiner

Ang Lee
Sense and Sensibilty (1995); Eat Drink Man Woman*(1994), Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon (2000)

Peter Jackson
The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring. I can’t wait for LOTR: The Two Towers to be released.

Nora Ephron
Sleepless in Seattle*(1993, You've Got Mail*(1998)
So great to see some love for George Cukor and Stanley Donen, but was a little disappointed not to see Two for the Road on your list for Donen.

Hook? Minority Report? Seriously? I'm thinking you need to see some more of Spielberg's work if you put these two films in his top five



The Wachowski Brothers-

Matrix Reloaded
Matrix Revolutions

Martin Scorsese-
The Color of Money
Taxi Driver
