From blockbuster titans to new breakthrough auteurs – they are the men and women who have evolved the medium most significantly, as chosen by Empire’s writers and critics.

1. Steven Spielberg
2. James Cameron
3. Alfred Hitchcock
4. Clint Eastwood
5. John Woo
6. Christopher Nolan
7. Ridley Scott
8. John McTiernan
9. David Fincher
10. Tony Scott

I feel it's too soon to put the Russo brothers or Christopher McQuarrie on the list, but I imagine both will crack my top 10, maybe evem top 5, over the next decade or so, with Ryan Coogler and Denis Villeneuve also in with a shout. .
