Your Favorite Directors

[predator20]

James Cameron (lost some cool points because of Titanic)
Billy Wilder
Sam Peckinpah
Walter Hill
Sergio Leone
John Ford
Howard Hawks
Clint Eastwood
George Miller (Max Max 1 and 2 are great, Beyond Thunderdome blows)
Robert Rodriguez (always enjoy his work except for Spy Kids)
Quentin Tarantino (might as well throw him in here too)
John McTiernan (Predator is not my favorite film despite my username)
Christopher Nolan (Memento, The Prestige, The Batman franchise films are good, but they ain't as great as people make them out to be)
Michael Mann
Oliver Stone (his older work, new stuff not so much)
Ridley and Tony Scott (probably prefer Tony over Ridley)
Francis Ford Coppola (The Godfather films are good, but more because of Apocalypse Now)
Stanley Kubrick
Martin Scorsese
John Carpenter
Cohen brothers

I'm not that much into horror or zombie flicks but,
Wes Craven (could do without all those damn Scream sequels)
George Romero

In regards to Michael Bay, I enjoyed Bad Boys and The Rock growing up. The Transformer films are fun to watch sometimes. The effects and battles are the only thing going for them.
