@ColleenOhara: That was Joe E. Brown. My father rode in an elevator with him in Manilla during WWII.
@hunkalove: Yes I made a mistake. Wow, good for Dad. My Dad was in WW2 also.

Stanley Kubrick. I just think he was genius, and he put so much incredible detail into every single scene of every film he made. There are quite a few Kubrick films that I can watch over and over again and enjoy just as much as I did the first time I saw them.
@NigelDoes: His movies have deep meanings. Amazing really.

They truly do. There is always so much more going on than meets the eye
@NigelDoes: 2001, Space Odyssey so much to figure out.

Ahhh a question after my own heart :) There is no absolute favorite, but i like to idealize any number of them at any given moment, out of rapturous esteem, the one i like to single out most these days is Werner Schroeter, he was on the margins of the New German Cinema, eclipsed by others like Herzog and Fassbinder, i LOVE Fassbinder too, he told a story much better than Schroeter could, what i love about Schroeter is the early films of his Eika Katappa, Death of Maria Malibran and Der Bomberpilot as the 3 best which put on a feature length format the kind of film art usually only in the short film format ie: Kenneth Anger. The use of opera too, but also the whole purposive mish mashing of styles, namely high art and low art. The low can be seen in the intentional sloppiness, out of synch singing and speaking, off tune singing .... later in his career he turned more to narrative storytelling, which i do not like that much, but it might grow on me later, but the later period does include Malina, an exhausting complex emotional roller coaster ride. i am in awe of that film, a film that can CHANGE a person:)
@ArrnArr: with subtitles?

@ColleenOhara: Yeah, except for Eika Katappa, no subtitles are meant for that one:)

Love Kubrick, but I'm going with Coppola on this one. Simply for his passion and eye for artistic direction.
@mkoz70: Coppola is quite good at what he does.

Yes he is. And I will add Hitchcock to round out my 3 favourites.

Christopher Nolan because of his unique style of non linear storytelling mixed with suspense and with narrators who can't be trusted with what they say.

James Cameron. He has just been responsible for a lot of my favorite movies.
@Purpleintelligence: Avatar and Titanic are right up there.

Maybe Peter just now forgot his last name (I am high as fuck)...oh JACKSON. Think he did an amazing job with LOR! 🤴 He captured the boring aspects of the start of the book and made them interesting.
