I'll add Ari Aster to that too. Enjoyed his work with midsommar.

Akira Kurosawa
John Carpenter
Alfred Hitchcock
Stanley Kubrick
Joel and Ethan Coen

Just miissed: Spielberg, Bergman, Lean, Lynch, Huston, Peckinpah, Fincher (edited in, can not forget him)


Generally, I'm bigger on excellence in variety - Carpenter, Coens, Kubrick. People who can dip their toes into different genres and styles while still just nailing it. Kurosawa and Hitchcock are the two best pure filmmakers. Lean is probably third.

Didn't even think about him, good call. I need a few more years of Villeneuva but he could rocket up the list as well.

He takes a turd on all of those on your lists. Guy could write a hit movie in a weekend, and he did it a lot till his death.

Wes Anderson should be included at some point. I don’t think anyone can or could do what he does. Which is zany, weird brilliance.
