And fukk it, Scott Bros...even tho they have some duds...and yes I'm adding them collectively despite never working together.

What's odd is I don't love every movie these guys have done, I know the quality I am getting before I purchase my ticket.

I had Hitchcock in there, but I took him out...might be biased because I have only contemporary directors in there, but I had to make a choice. Loved his show and Vertigo might be one of my favorite movies and Psycho set the standard for suspense thrillers to this day.

I would put Cameron and Spielberg up there, but some of their movies have this fantasy overreaching mass appeal polish that I kind of puts me off from some of their work. I like my movies to have some edge, piss off, and or offend people at times.

Haven't seen all of Kubrick's work, so I would just be following the crowd if I mentioned him.

I would include Spike because when he's on he's on, but when he's off...he's really fukking off. The 5 I listed I think ultimately don't really have anything bad.

Low key, I like Antoine Fuqua, Darren Aronofsky and Michael Mann a lot too...They just dont quite have the body of work yet.

I wanted to put Michael mann on there based off of Heat alone...that movie is just a masterpiece and the greatest movie to not be nominated for any academy awards ever

He disappears for too long for me to have him top 5. Damn near 40 years in the game but only 6-7 truly noteworthy pieces.
