Alfred Hitchcock
Tony Scott
Ridley Scott
Martin Scorcese
Clint Eastwood
Christopher Nolan

After that it really is a toss up, I really like Kazan's and Billy Wilder's work, but I haven't seen enough of it to call him one of "the best" though I wouldn't doubt it if he is.

Sidney Lumet
Steven Spielberg
William Friedkin
Alfred Hitchcock
Martin Scorsese

Rob Reiner

I've only got 3 but they are:

Martin Scorsese
James Cameron
Steven Spielberg

I hesitated including Cameron just because he works so infrequently.

10 yrs from now, Jason Reitman will probably crack my top 10, but need a body of work to go by.

James Camaron made the two of the highest grossing films, he has to make the list.

what does highest grossing have to do with price of cheese?

thats great for the accountants and the investors, otherwise not much merit.

If thats your basis dennis dugan is a better director than john sayles.

Comparatively-speaking, OK, but Dugan can't touch Cameron, except that he's a "grosser" director.

im not comparing dugan to Cameron..lol jus sayen whether the movie made big dough or not isnt a yardstick for directing prowess.

thats all.

You don't have to explain it to me. I'm on your side. But Dugan still is "grosser"!

Dennid Dugan is not a sought after director. He only makes a movie when Adam Sandler hires him.

My list would be

1. Christopher Nolan
2. Alfred Hitchcock
3. Steven Spielberg
4. Stanley Kubrick
5. Martin Scorsese
6. Sergio Leone
7. Quentin Tarantino
8. Billy Wilder
9. Peter Jackson
10. Akira Kurosawa

In no specific order.

Steven Speilberg
Alfred Hitchcock
Woody Allen
John Ford
Stanley Kubrick
Orson Wells
Martin Scorsesee
Francis Ford Coppola
Quinten Tarrantino
Clint Eastwood
