Welcome to the human race...
WTF!? Why is there one particular name not appearing on any of the lists here???

Funny thing, i read the same names over and over again and seriously ask myself, are they really THAT good? I mean there seem to be a certain "hype" here for directors/titles who made titles being among "the top of IMDB´s best ever"-list, but in my opinion, not only that some of those titles are more or less "overhyped" and neither as entertaining as they are having that kind of cult-value as certain other titles by other directors have.

Well, hard time for me to vote for my TOP 5 but i know who is actually THE BEST, especially when it comes to the amount of cult-classics as well as regarding the entertainment-factor of his movies.

In my opinion, the guy made a number cult-classics like no other director and while he actually produced my most favorite scifi/horror movie of all times, he as well made so many other flicks i found to be highly entertaining and seriousy, no Spielberg, no Tarantino (who is a real die-hard fan of JOHN CARPENTER) and no Scorsese made the same amount of titles, being great or having the same timeless cult-value, besides being highly entertaining.

Because the thread title specifies the best directors in Hollywood today. I love Carpenter, but he hasn't made a film in well over a decade and has no concrete plans to make another so I effectively consider him retired.
