Who in your view do you think are the greatest directors of all time?

Mine are, in order, Martin Scorsese, Steven Spieilberg, James Cameroon, Pedro Almodovar and Quentin Taritino.

1.Scorsese:




His style and filming are unique ones his representations of the gangster life of Henry Hill in Goodfellas, the islolation of Travis Brickle in Taxi Driver, the broken man of Ray Liatoa in Raging Bull. He has proven that he is one of the best in the business but still has yet to give a thank you speech for an Oscar.

2.Steven Speilberg:

His representation and his influences blend together to make classics like Indiana Jones, Saving Private Ryan, Scindlers List and most recently Munich. He has shown that he is a force in the film making business and deserves his credit for his talents.



3. James Cameroon:

Possibly the greatest Sci Fi director of all time, Terminator one and two, Aliens, and even a stab at the comedy lies with True Lies he is very imageries of a man, taking a risk with Titanic making a dent in his career though gaining a lot of money from it he is still a respected director.



4. Pedro Almodovar:

Defiantly the greatest Spanish director of all time, Almodovars range in his imagery and bizarre love stories are all a treat to the viewer.

5. Quentin Tartitino:

Most will disagree but with his few films he is a uniqe director with is famous conversations between his characters ala Like a Virgin in Reservoir Dogs and Royal with Cheese in Pulp Fiction, the violence and style of his movies are like none other (Besides his huge influences).
