It's a tossup between Mel Brooks and John Ford.

I can't name just 1 (although it'd probably be RWF).
Top Ten:
Rainer Werner Fassbinder
Werner Herzog
Guy Maddin
Agnes Varda
Stanley Kubrick
Robert Altman
John Cassavettes
Lars Von Trier
Pedro Almodovar
Can't think of a definite 10th.

I don't "get" why everyone is fascinated with Peter Jackson. Aside from King Kong (which wasn't even good, in my opinion) and Lord of the Rings, the rest of his work is decent at best.

Akira Kurosawa:
Seven Samurai,
Yojimbo,
Dodes'ka-den,
Sanjuro,
Ran,
Kagemusha,
Ikiru,
Rashomon,
Kurosawas "Dreams"
His films have influenced many spagetti westerns like Magnificant Seven (7 Samurai) and a Fist full of Dollars (Yojimbo and it is almost verbatem except the samurai are gunslingers)
He is also a major influence on George Lucas. probably why the jedi's apperal look like samurai

My personal favorite is Ron Howard (loved Apollo 13 and Cocoon). Alan Alda runs a close second...

I tried, but I can't find anyone to beat William Freidkin, Akira Kurisawa, and John Ford.

Ridley Scott
and Robert Zemeckis are good.
Q. Tarantino is very over rated.
I am also a big Coen Brothers fan . . except for the Big Lewbowski and The Ladykillers.
Kubrick is all right just atheistic and boring at times.

Tim Burton and Jim Henson are my tops. They are/were amazing directors IMO. Runner ups would be James Cameron and Quinton Tarantino. More recently, Guillermo Del Toro.
