I don't think anyone's mentioned Jim Jarmusch yet for favorite director. Stranger than Paradise, Down by Law, Ghost Dog, Dead Man, Night on Earth, Mystery Train--the guy is great. (Other faves: the Coen Brothers, David Lynch)
Overrated, even though I think he's done some good and maybe even great stuff: Tim Burton. He has no idea how to end a movie. Also the inexplicably popular Kevin Smith, who has no idea how to start or middle or end a movie.
