I know I am probably leaving out someone famous. There are more than 9 great directors. Most of these, except a couple, are still alive and working. So I guess it was mostly contemporary directors I was thinking of.

When I can have a casting of minimum 3, in a studio called "my bedroom".
Then, it would be Chaplin or Hitchcock.a froggy, lost in translation and in Africa... and no, I am not the one on the pic swinging a club ... I am the one holding the pin !!!

I agree Sean. Also Unforgiven, Flags of our Fathers, Letters From Iwo Jima. Just only had ten options. Also Billy Bob Thornton directed a superb movie in Sling Blade. They are both more known for acting though.“When a nation's young men are conservative, its funeral bell is already rung.”

My choices were not on the list.
If I had to pick a favorite director it would be Jim Jarmusch, for sure.
Then, also Werener Herzog and Pedro Almodóvar, "Gaspacho para todos!"
I also like Woody Allen and Terry Gilliam."Bankin' off of the northeast wind

Billy Wilder: Some Like it Hot
Double indemnity
Sunset Boulevard
Ace in the Hole
( Where he prophesied, in 1952, the circus that TV news would become.)
This was a photo finish over Kubrick.
Among current I'll have to go with Coens .......or maybe Tarantino or Danny Boyle.
