Tarantino, his style is too over the top and he get far more kudos than he deserves. I find his work overdirected and overacted for the most part.
The rest....
Allen hasn't done anything good since Annie Hall, he got to "I need to make a social statement"... but his box office shows his lack of anything decent. Early stuff like Bananas, Sleeper, All You Ever Wanted to Know About Sex... classics.
Hitchcock was great and was the grandfather of modern horror and suspense if anything he is not as recognized as he should be. Noone else could take a 1960 tv budget and create a masterpiece of greatness on a bet (Psycho).
Scorsese is another that was very good but lately hasn't done anything close to what his earlier stuff was.
The rest of the list, eh.... they do what they do, i wouldn't consider any of them "greats". Their styles to me are pretty much the same in every movie they do. Aronofsky is probably the better of them, though.

My response is, "I like to put forks in an eletrical socket, just LOVE that feeling, can't ever get enough of it, so will you let me put this copper fork in that electric socket?"
