This is a great thread. A few directors come to mind.
Speilberg does a signature shot where he zooms right up on the face of a character. He's done it in several movies, most notably Jaws and Raiders.
Kubrick always did some sort of moving hallway shots. Eyes Wide Shut's 'Party' scenes, The Shining, even Frank Poole jogging in 2001.
Mike Nichols has started several of his movies with a long approach shot leading to a location. Watch the beginning of The Birdcage or Working Girl and you'll understand what I'm talking about.
