1) Tim Burton - I love his style and the guy is a complete genius in my opinion.
2) Steven Spielberg
3) Quentin Tarantino
4) Guy Ritchie - I loved Revolver, LS&2SB and Snatch.
5) Chris Nolan - I think I've only seen one of his films, Batman Begins, but after seeing that, I want to watch more of his work and maybe he'll move up the ranks.
