in no particular order, plus listing notable movies they directed i like
Darren Aronofsky(Pi, Requiem for a Dream, The Fountain, The Wrestler)
David Fincher(Se7en, The Game, Fight Club, Zodiac, Panic Room, Curious Case of Benjamin Button)
Charlie Kaufman(Being John Malkovich, Adaptation, Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, Synecdoche, New York) (yes like the above poster said, he's more known for his writing than producing skills, but hell I'm naming him, because he has a very tripped out mind. :) )
Christopher Nolan(Following, Memento, 2 Batmans, Inomnia, The Prestige)
Mel Brooks(Blazing Saddles, Spaceballs, Robin Hood : Men In Tights, The Producers)
Chris Columbus(yeah I named him. what are you going to do now? hah kidding. But yeah he was da man in the 80s and early 90s. Writing for 'The Goonies', 'Adventures in Babysitting', and 'Gremlins' and we all know him for directing those Home Alone movies. I say he did a decent job with the early Harry Potter films. Made it kiddish in a good way)
David Lynch (The Elephant Man, Mulhullond Drive, just to name a few. I can't think of any other movies on the top of my head ....)
Martin Scorcese(too many to list ....)
I really want to see Spike Jonze do something outside of Charlie Kaufman's writing backing him up. All the movies I have seen that were directed/produced by him were excellent. I also want to see more Tarsem Singh after the movie "The Fall".

good call. I like most of their movies (althouugh I hated O Brother Where Art Thou?)
I'll also second the Scorcese and Fincher votes. I really enjoy Michael Mann too, particularly Heat, Last of the Mohicans, The Insider, Collateral, and as a producer with The Avaitor which Scorcese gets most of the credit for (as he should).
I like Terrance Malick's work a lot (The Thin Red Line, Badlands, Days of Heaven, The New World)... he's got one coming out this year called "The Tree of Life" starring Brad Pitt, Sean Penn which sounds like it has a pretty heavy theme (like all his movies).

i would have mentioned del Toro, but his earlier works scare me. :nervous: his later works the past couple of years have been good though. :)

As for Cuaron, seen 2 of his movies. "Y Tu Mama Tambien" was good, but "Children of Men" was a movie I did not like.
