This will not be a list, rather an opinion on who I regard to be my favourite directors. So here I go with my first post:
David Fincher
Best Film: Se7en
Worst Film: The Game

A friend of mine once said to me, "If you've seen one Fincher movie, you've seen them all". He said each movie is essentially the same, dark and gritty, lashed with rain and inhabited by morally dubious characters. To a large extent that's true but then again, you could say all of Tarantino's movies are essentially the same or that all Spielberg blockbusters follow the same formula. And in any case I like the rainy, gritty, morally dubious nature of Fincher flicks.
Some of his recent output hasn't been terrific, with The Social Network and The Girl with the Dragon Tatoo hardly electrifying but he has still managed to produce 2 of this centuries absolute gems, Zodiac and The Curious Case of Benjamin Button.
"In film, we sculpt time, we sculpt behaviour and we sculpt light."
