[zombie no.one]

can't think of any directors who've made more than 2 films that I genuinely adore.

Spielberg for DUEL and JAWS
Coen Bros for FARGO and BIG LEBOWSKI
Scorcese for GOODFELLAS and CASINO
Lynch for WILD AT HEART and MULHOLLAND DRIVE

feel like all these guys have a superior directors' touch, but at the same time I could haplily live without all their other films tbh

Stanley Kubrick
David Lynch
Mario Bava
Ed Wood Jr. (Hey- I enjoy his films!)

This is not an easy question as there are many directors who made a few movies I love, but others which I haven't liked at all. Directors who's work I generally like across many movies:

Christopher Nolan
John Woo
Michael Bay
Alex Proyas

Christopher Nolan needs no explanation; of all the directors, his movies consistently make me think, 'I wish I had directed that' rather than, 'what a great movie'. John Woo has made so many awesome movies, both in Hong Kong and America. His Mission Impossible II is my favourite of the franchise. Michael Bay gets a lot of flack, but his movies are generally really high quality and heaps of fun. Alex Proyas has directed so many cool movies like The Crow, Dark City, and Knowing.

Runners up:

Wong Kar Wai (2046, The Grandmaster)

Russel Mulcahy (only Highlander and The Shadow, not very fond of his others)

Stephen Chow (Kung Fu Hustle)

Jackie Chan - yeah, I love them all

James Cameron - NOT Titanic, Avatar or any of that predicable drivel, but the good stuff like Terminator and T2

Ridley Scott - I generally enjoy his movies but I never feel like, 'wow, I wish i had done that'.
