Stanley Kubrick for lots of reasons, but mainly because he directed Dr. Strangelove.

Sergio Leone. Because
Has to be Sergio for 'Once Upon a Time in America' one of my all time favourites.

Fabulous film. Whenever it's on, I have to watch it (for the gazillionth time
)
Tricky.
It's probably imposssible to say any one is better than another, simply because they are all different individuals, and it is also a matter of taste.
Over the years I have been thrilled by the films of
Alfred Hitchcock
Orson Welles
Stanley Kubrick (particularly Paths of Glory)
Stanley Donen (for musicals- 7 Brides, Singing in the Rain)
and I have rarely been disappointed by the films of
Sydney Pollack.

Stephen King. He only made one movie that I really like, but it is my most favorite one.
For me, Hitchcock. Groundbreaking. Some of his lighting and camera angles still 'jar' and I don't know who else could pull off two-handers like he did.
Reference:
Scorsese
Agree. Also Hitchcock and Spielberg - so many though to choose from.
As above, I think you'd have to go for Hitchcock for the quality and sheer volume of his work. I'd also rate George Cukor, Elia Kazan ( even if he was a Mccarthy informer) and Joseph L Mankiewicz.
From the modern age, I think Darren Aronofsky has an innovative style.

This has really tickled me! Marg, you're the sweetest poster on here... and the LAST person I'd imagine watching a Tarantino movie! I loved Pulp Fiction though!

Quentin Tarrintino Pulp Fiction
I'm amazed!! but have to agree that is a great film, along with Kill Bill 1, the second one wasn't as good I don't think.For me it's someone like Hitchcock, John Ford and in the modern era possibly John Hughes, for the Breakfast Club and St Elmo's Fire alone, two films that even now I can escape into and enjoy just as much as when I was a teenager.
I like Ken Loach as a director. He is independent and fearless, in that he will tackle any subject however unpopular that might make him. He makes films to make you think. I also like directors who veer away from the normal and I suppose M Night Shyamalan and the Coen brothers fit into that category too. But Ken Loach would perhaps be my favourite director of all time.
