Who are your favorite directors? There's so many talented directors out there and I just thought I share who are my favorite directors. My top 6 have to be: 1. Steven Spielberg 2. Peter Jackson 3. Chris Columbus 4. Christopher Nolan 5. Ron Howard 6. George Lucas!
This tends to change every five years or so. My current favorites: Chris Nolan Darren Aronofsy David Fincher Honorable mentions go to Michael Mann and Matthew Vaughn.
I could see why George Lucas would be on this list... before the prequels came out. Hayao Miyazaki David Fincher Chris Nolan J. J. Abrams as of this second.
In no particular order: Pete Docter Lee Unkrich Christopher Nolan Michael Bay Hayao Miyazaki Jason Reitman Danny Antonucci Brad Bird Brad Lewis Darren Aronofsky
The Coens David Cronenberg Paul Thomas Anderson Edgar Wright Guillermo del Toro David Fincher Park Chan-wook David Lynch
PT Anderson Edgar Wright Park Chan-wook Quentin Tarantino David Fincher Steven Spielberg Martin Scorsese Jason Reitman Neill Blomkamp
Why? Outside of the prequels he only directed one Star Wars movie.American Graffiti and THX were both good... but that's about it, and they're older than Star Wars. I doubt he can do anything else, but bad prequels.
