It's really tough to pick one, as each does their own thing. Without looking at my collection, or doing any other research, these are the names that come to me off the top of my head:

Paul Verhoeven
John Carpenter
Yoshihiro Nishimura
Sion Sono
Shinya Tsukamoto
Brian De Palma
Quentin Tarantino
Russ Meyer
Dario Argento
Paul WS Anderson
Zack Snyder
George Lucas

I'm sure I'm forgetting some greats, but I can watch pretty much any film by these guys and find something of interest.

[Andrew Korenchkin]

John Cassavetes is one of the best ever. Faces, A Women Under the Influence, Shadows, The Killing of a Chinese Bookie...all classics.

I've been meaning to get into his work, I'm only familiar with his acting in Rosemary's Baby.

Satoshi Kon and Bong Joon-Ho's films really speak to me which probably place them as my faves, even if other directors may have more films I've enjoyed in their works. Kon's exploration of reality and identity within the animated medium and Bong's cinematography combined with his memorable characters put them above in terms of preference.

 

[Berto]

Kubrick and Tarkovsky.

 

[superdeluxe]

Kubrick, Nolan, Fincher, Tarantino, Scorse, Spielberg
Scott

 

[Fug Slanderson]

James Cameron, and no other director even comes close for me

 

[Wabba]

There is only two directors that i go to see every movie regardless of reviews. The first is Tarantino, has to have one if not the best track record of amazing movies. And the second is David Fincher, love the dark mysteries movies that he makes.

 

[pa22word]

Kubrick by far.

[Tobe Tobusch]

Jim jarmusch, especially after only lovers left alive and Paterson. Then there are in no particular order: Fincher, coen brothers, lynch, Danny Boyle.
