Miyazaki (he wrote every movie he directed plus several others), my favorite film author. In fact he might be the closest thing to a true auteur, the theoretical construct, since he directs, writes (both the screenplays and the source material), draws the storyboards and does much of the rest as well.
Miyazaki also wrote the Nausicaa manga, which is the possibly the best genre novel ever written (it's certainly better than Frank Ebert's Dune, any Asimov's books and Tolkien's LotR). I also liked Nausicaa more than Tolstoi's War and Peace (a book that is also clearly superior to Dune, Asimov's work and Tolkien's work). His sense of character is amazing.
