Who is your favorite filmmaker?

Is he/she an auteur type, where you always know it's them? Or are they more of a chameleon, just there to serve that specific story in that specific way?

Do they write and direct? Or do they mainly do one or the other?

It's hard to choose a favorite, but Charlie Kaufman (who mainly just writes but directed one of his films which happens to be my favorite of his) has had a very large personal impact on my life.

    Martin Scorcese.  The best.  

    I'm also fond of the Lord of the Rings guy.  Peter Jackson.

    Stanley Kubrick.

    I liked his film "A Clockwork Orange". For once a movie is better than the book.

  • Stanley Kubrick and Wes Anderson.

    I don't think they could be more different, but they are my favorites. Close third would be Ingmar Bergman.

  • Scar Face (with Paul Muni), Gentlemen Prefer Blondes, His Girl Friday is a fun one, Rio Bravo if you like John Wayne.

    Antonioni.  If I am going to watch a film much rather sit home and watch one of his than go out and see anything they make today.
