Default Favourite Director?
Is it one of the classics like Hitchcock, Welles or Ford?

A 70s-man in the form of Scorsese, Kubrick, Coppolla or Polanski?

Or a modern genius like Spielberg or the Coen Brothers?

I don't have a favorite really. But the one that popped to mind as soon as I read the title was John Hughes.

I've got a few, I've always loved Tim Burton as well as Quentin Tarrantino. I also like Guillermo Del Toro (Pan's Labyrinth), Hayao Miyazaki (Spirited Away, Howl's Moving Castle ETC.), Sofia Coppola, Ang Lee (Brokeback Mountain, Lust Caution), Julie Taymor (Across the universe). I like a fair few really

I dont have a favourite as such but the early films of John Carpenter and John Woo were pretty good.

Ridley Scott.

He's done a lot of stuff I don't like but he wins it because of Alien and Blade Runner.

Eh, of the directors today I love Ramin Bahrani, Werner Herzog, David Cronenberg and Christopher Nolan. Probably forgetting a few. Oh, and Peter Weir and Paul Thomas Anderson.

Yeh, he's such a great choice for the Hobbit. I want him to make a Batman film after Nolan hangs up his vest. It'll be completely different and Gothic and jam-packed full of enough awesome to make your eyes bleed. Visual viagra.

He's a great director and don't forget how Cuaron changed the image of Harry Potter and he also directed Children of Men.

I actually think the two Hellboy flicks are hugely underrated.

I love them! The second is much better, I feel. There's much more happens in it, and he seems to have been able to show his style more throughout.

Yep, I agree. The first one adhered more to the comic book whereas in the second one he was really able to stamp his signature onto proceedings. Hellboy 2 is bloody quality.

I've never been a huge fan of Burton's though. The only classic that I think he's made is Ed Wood. Oh, and I have a soft spot for Big Fish.

I'm not a massive fan of his, to be honest. Ed Wood is a great film - I've never seen Big Fish.
