For me, it's a toss up between Joel Coen (of the Coen Brothers) and Woody Allen. I'm also tempted to add Terry Gilliam to that list. I'd probably add M. Night Shyamalan, too, if he had made more movies...

Ford was a master.

Sam Peckinpah had his moments.

Terry Gilliam is my favorite.

Woo! Someone who likes old movies! (Speed_Gibson)

Anyways: Big fan of Charlie Chaplin, I like Orson Welles,
John Ford if only for the Quiet Man, and, in terms of
Great Cinematography + Sweet Epic = David Lean.
Made them better than WhathisFace Peter Jackson any day of the week.

Most other newer directors (post 1975) seem to
use cheap tricks to lure the audience into thinking
the movie is something better than it is (except
in the case of the Original Original Star Wars, which
I can never seem to get enough of.)

Watch a good classic is like reading book. Just better.
