“I was cured, all right!”
What's your favorites directors alive that are out there making movies?

I'm interesting to see the names that will pump up here. But just directors that are currently working, so Lynch for example doesn't count, since his last film was eleven years ago (TV shows doesn't count).

In no particular order my favorites are:
Park Chan-wook
Kim Jee-woon
Bong Joon-hong
Johnnie To
Kiyoshi Kurosawa
Martin Scorsese
Michael Haneke
Na Hong-jin
Takeshi Kitano
Wong Kar-wai
Denis Villeneuve
Gareth Evans
Nicolas Winding Refn
Paul Thomas Anderson
Quentin Tarantino
Wilson Yip
Pedro Almodóvar

I know it's a lot, but all of this directors capture my attention when they announce something new and I'm definitely be there at the theaters to watch.



Martin Scorsese
Steven Spielberg
James Cameron
Mel Gibson
Peter Jackson
Michael Bay
Quentin Tarantino



“I was cured, all right!”
What's the exact cut-off for "working" or "not working" here?

working - Directors that are working in new movies or just released something last year.

not working - Directors like David Lynch that haven't released a single filme in the last 11 years.



These are the directors that I get genuinely excited about when a new film of them is announced:

Martin Scorsese
Coen Brothers
Richard Linklater
Hayao Miyazaki
Quentin Tarantino
Wes Anderson
David Fincher (I won't be excited if he really does World War Z 2, though)
Jim Jarmusch
Paul Thomas Anderson
David Lynch (still counts)
Terry Gilliam
Wong Kar Wai
Alexander Payne
Whit Stillman
Noah Baumbach
Lars Von Trier
Pedro Almodóvar
Chan-Wook Park
Michael Haneke
Paolo Sorrentino
Mike Leigh
Hirokazu Koreeda

The ones in bold are the ones I truly get CRAZY about. At the moment, they're my five favorite active directors, I guess.
