Of course this is a personal list, and I'm not presuming to edit or correct your selections. I would add one lesser-known filmmaker, and I'm sure you've seen some of his films: Paul Thomas Anderson

The most stunning movie (of his) that comes to mind is There Will Be Blood. Other memorable Anderson films: Boogie Nights, and The Master. He manages to attract topnotch talent and elicit extraordinary performances from them.

So many favorites on your list.

From this great list I've seen a few but I'm still missing and the director of my preference is Francis Ford Coppola, although you forgot to add Stanley Kubrick.

He is not alive that's why he is not in that list.
