If I was to compile a list of my favourite films, John Carpenter would feature most prominently. The Thing and The Fog at the top, Halloween and and Assault on P 13 would be top 30 too.
Lynch, Spielberg, Coppola, Kubrick and Scorsese would be there too.
No such thing as a perfect director though, they have done their fair share if shite aswel. The Ward, Dune, Crystal Skull, Jack, Eyes Wide Shut and ?????? Ok Scorsese hasnt done a bad film fair play, one or two mediocre ones at worst.

I personally loved Eyes Wide Shut.

Tarantino deserves a mention, too.

Shout out to David Lean, British director.

Has to be up there with the best.

Mike Leigh or Ken Loach as I rarely watch so called blockbuster films

Yes, Alfred was special. Though his insistence on using stage sets rather than real locations makes some of his films a tad cringeworthy to view now. He was certainly a big enough name in the business to have insisted on more on-location shooting than he did. That said, Vertigo is always in my top 5, and I love NxNW, Marnie and Frenzy too.

For this thread I’d also mention Michael Mann, Christopher Nolan and Sergio Leone. And of course David Lean.

I find Tarantino films have many great sceens, but overall not great films.
