In Switzerland they had brotherly love - they had 500 years of democracy and peace, and what did that produce? The cuckoo clock."

Scorsese, because I can finally see his pretty face.

Another very hard one but Scorsese

Coen Brothels.

Why does Scorsese always get pitted against great directors?

Screw it, I'm voting for him anyway.

I went with the Coens.

They are only behind by 2 votes at this point.. close race.

Ugh...do I really have to choose? This is cruel and unusual.

Coens, I appreciate their humor and their ability to blend it with dark subject matter.

Wow, I waited just a bit too long to vote. Not sure which way I would have gone, but probably for the Coens. That would've tied it!

Wow...

You picked a good time to procrastinate Yoda.

The Coens are the most consistently innovative, but Scorsese has some greats in his heyday. This is a tough choice, and I'd have to think about it a while. No verdict from me.

I'm just going to comment on every one of these even though I missed them all yall.

I totally agree, they have completely different styles as directors, Scorsese and the Coen brothers are brilliant directors. If I absolutely had to choose, I'd give an edge to Scorsese, but frankly I don't want to choose between them since they are two of my favorite directors/filmmakers.
