Kubrick and Welles are my favourites - also Scott and Coppola would be up there

Hal Hartley.

For my money, it will always be Charlie Chaplin.

Without study reference to any other great directors except the Eisenstadt era, he came up with Moden Times, etc - and told compelling stores in a charmed and wonderous way - all without useful little tools like ... sound.

Genius. Pure and simple.

More and more, I love Orson Welles' work, even his weird documentary, F IS FOR FAKE. I think he's a brilliant director, ahead of his time. In the past, directors who inspired me:

Spielberg, Scorsese, Sayles, Victor Nunez, the Coen Bros., Mann, Verhoeven, Donner, McTiernan, and many, many more.
