[Sgt.Pepper]

In no particular order:

Nicolas Winding Refn
Terrence Malick
Darren Aronofsky
Akira Kurosawa
Roman Polanski
Sofia Coppola (we certainly do need a few female filmmakers in here)
Andrea Arnold
Luis Buñuel
Elia Kazan
Wong Kar-Wai
Guillermo del Toro
David Lean
Bong Joon-ho

There are tons of directors that I would love to add to this list, but I think this will do.

Spoiler

I'll start:

Quentin Tarantino
The Coen Brothers
David Fincher
Martin Scorsese
Christopher Nolan
Steven Spielberg
Wes Anderson

And my favorite up-and-comers:

Tomas Alfredson
Nicolas Winding Refn
Duncan Jones

I don't consider Refn as an up-and-comer director. I mean, he could be regarded as a new director for some, but Refn has been active for 16 years now.
