I think that Ridley Scott is a good start for this list. He’s made so many amazing movies that prove that he is one of the best movie directors ever.

Quentin Tarantino is famous for his genius scripts, but the script isn’t the only amazing thing about his movies. The directing and the soundtracks in his movies made him one of the best directors ever.

Alfred Hitchcock is a revolutionary director. He is one of the most influential and extensively studied filmmakers in the history of cinema.
Most popular movies: Schindler’s list, Saving Private Ryan, E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial, Jaws, Jurassic Park
I love Steven Spielberg because his movies can be enjoyed by both the kids and the adults. If you want to watch a movie with your family I strongly recommend his movies.
Most popular movies: 2001: A Space Odyssey, A Clockwork Orange, The Shining, Full Metal Jacket, Dr. Strangelove or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb
Without a doubt Stanley Kubrick is my favourite movie director. Everything about the movies he made is perfect, from the directing and acting to the music and costimography. As far as I’m concerned he’s the best movie director ever.
