Not at the top of the list, and some of his efforts have been boring turds, but Wes Anderson deserves an honorable mention. Few directors have an unmistakable quality to their movies like he does.
Also a big fan of Jean-Pierre Jeunet's style, but he hasn't made a lot of hits.
To me it's Coppola, because of the epic struggles he had to endure to get the Godfather and Apocalypse Now completed and done the right way. A lesser director would have gone with Redford over Pacino.
Life Aquatic and Fantastic Mr Fox were masterpieces. Isle of Dogs was great. His two latest movies were forgettable but yeah, he deserves to be on the list.

Also, this pole is invalid without Neil Breen.

I'll always have a funny view on Coppola because the first movie I saw of his was Jack. Weird weird movie. Weird that he did it.
What's the take on Christopher Nolan?
He’s made some bangers. Like I said earlier, I have no idea who’s number in this category but I know Nolan is good at his job.
I was gonna say, Nolan is probably HM territory already.
Also, no Ridley Scott?

Bottle Rocket, Rushmore, Tenenbaums were all hugely influential on me. Some of the best soundtracks of all time as well.
