David Lean is a legend...he's one of the most well known and successful Directors ever, most young people have probably never seen his movies though, shame.

This has quickly turned into a "Greatest directors of all time" thread.
Lean, Ford, Wilder, Kazan… that could be some people's Mt. Rushmore.
If you want some more great classic directors here is about few:
Howard Hawks
Sidney Lumet
Hal Ashby
Arthur Penn
Milos Foreman
John Schlesinger
Sydney Pollock
Robert Altman

Did you know that he was the same guy who played Chunk on Goonies? I had no idea.

This thread has made me open up a vein. Please don't tell me about directors the kids have never heard of. I hear this John Ford guy was pretty good, maybe we should check him out.

I went “What you all watching, hoes?” They said “The Legend of Bagger Vance.” I was like “Get that bull off the TV, I brought a couple of DVDs over.” She said “What’d you bring?” “Doctor Zhivago, A Brief Encounter, and A Bridge Over The River Kwai; A lean night.”

John Sturges, Sidney Lumet are two of my favorite directors, but they have for sure been heard of.

Alejandro Jodorowsky:
El Topo
The Holy Mountain
Santa Sangre
The Dance of Reality
He has a cult following but most have not heard of him or his movies. The Dance of Reality (2013) was his first movie in 23 years, I think its one of the best movies of the 2000s.
