As big of a Star Wars fan as I am, I have to give it to Steven Spielberg. Almost every movie he makes is gold and they stand the test of time. His movies also cover a wide range of genres. I am sure that 50 years from now his movies will still be very watchable and entertaining.

Honorable mentions

George Lucas - I am a Star Wars fan after all
Peter Jackson - If he is only remembered for Lord of the Rings and King Kong, that is saying something
Francis Ford Coppola - The Godfather trilogy
Ridley Scott - Alien and Gladiator
Bryan Singer - Usual Suspects, X-men 1 and 2, Superman Returns, more to come
Robert Zemeckis - Back to the Future series, Forrest Gump, Cast Away

Ridley Scott only directed the first Alien

James Cameron directed Aliens
David Ficher directed Alien 3
some french Director directed Alien Resurrection
and Paul W.S. Anderson directed Alien versus Predator.

small thing though.

"can't believe you forgot him"?

hah! I wish I could forget M.'s crappy movies...

I was thinkin....the title says best film director in history....that in mind Kurosawa was one of best, and is possibly MY my favorite.

Red Paradox · « **Reply #9 on:** September 08, 2006, 10:24:15 AM »

ok ok I overlooked some directors...pressura..
But Brian De Palma sucks...he only made 3 good movies (Scarface, Mission: Impossible and The Untouchables) everything else he directed sucks @$$

flip, i'm sure everybody gonna laugh cuz I don't know, but who is that segsi chica in your signature? and don't say it's somebody's mom....cuz I'd have to go fountains of wayne on all yah.

steveunderwood0 · « **Reply #11 on:** September 08, 2006, 11:04:26 AM »

heh, I love Sam Raimi's stuff...including the weak arse Xena and Hercules stuff....BUT, I'd never classify him as one of the best...even with Spiderman and the cult classic Army of Darkness....

I've always felt that Bruce Campbell and Sam Raimi were a great duo on screen.

Ridley Scott- Gladiator <= mostly cuz of this

George Lucas- Stars Wars, what else?
Michael Mann- for Collateral
Peter Jackson- LOTR Trilogy
Christopher Nolan- redeemed the Batman movies;well at least one anyway, Memento
Robert Rodriguez- Desperado, El Marachi, Sin City
QT- of course kill bill 1 and 2 but i heard he made a Modesty Blaise(fan) movie but nvr really seen it n e where....

hey what bout John Woo?

Why the fork is mel gibson there?? OMFG

i mean even if yu liked passion
with its "historical accuracies" that were so forking in accurate and then yes brave heart does pwn base. but greatest director for just that?? never no way.

Francis ford is a beast

George lucas is yur daddy.

Spielberg is yur uncle ( de dread one with all de hoes)

QT not for kill bill. its sad people might think thas his best work. pfft. resevoir dogs rocked! and all his movies like that

Peter o Fallon for Suicide kings. It almost felt like a QT movie.

Oliver stone is a beast

Thats all for now. my mind warped

george lucas was a good director.. but he sh!t up all the latest star wars movies and write a dotish script.. gosh a 14 year old could write up better love scenes , and yes constipated people may be angry but you didn't have to make anakin act constipated.

Poll

Just as the title implies, whom do you consider, "the best movie director in History"
