My favourite director, by a long shot is Kubrick.

Some others fav's would be
The Coen's
David Fincher
John Woo
P.T. Anderson
David Lynch
and maybe Darren Arronofsky (tough call with only two movies to base it on!).
pretty ecclectic list that!

As for the Wachowski brothers being over-rated...It's a tough call. The Matrix/Reloaded were pretty damn amazing, I just don't want to judge the series as a whole, until after Revolutions. Then we will find out if they have just being leading us on, and making it up on the spot, or if there really is some great master plan behind it all!

Most over rated director? No question about it: Speilberg.
Not that he is a BAD director, but he is mediocre at best, and his the quality of his output is very inconsistent.
He has made some great movies...but he has had also produced a hell of a lot of garbage also....yet he is probably the only director that gets mentioned by name in trailers/movie blurb.
(e.g. I almost felt like getting sick when I heard that Gangs of New York was "from the director of Goodfellas")
