"A Warm December" and "Buck and the Preacher"

:wave:

I like Tim Burton and M. Night Shyamalan

Alfred Hitchcock

Michael Schultz - Responsible for some of the greatest films in the history of American cinema.

Livin' Large! (1991)
Disorderlies (1987)
Krush Groove (1985)
Berry Gordy's The Last Dragon (1985) :thumbsup:
Carbon Copy (1981)
Bustin' Loose (1981)
Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band (1978)
Which Way Is Up? (1977)
Greased Lightning (1977)
Car Wash (1976) :thumbsup:
Cooley High (1975) :thumbsup:

Others: Martin Scorsese (Goodfellas, King of Comedy), Spike Lee (Get On The Bus, Do The Right Thing), Alan Parker (Fame, Midnight Express)

Steven Spielberg - He's also one heck of a director. There's not a film he's done that I didn't like.

Francis Ford Coppola - Loved The Godfather and Apocalypse Now. I want to see Peggy Sue Got Married and some of his other movies.

Alfred Hitchcock - One of the best directors ever. The only film I've seen he's done that I didn't like was Vertigo. Sorry, I couldn't get into it. The film was not very popular with critics when it first came out and it didn't do well in the box office and I can see why.

Oliver Stone - Another brilliant director. Seems every film he's directed is highly rated.

tim burton.

My fave directors are:

Steven Speilberg, Ron Howard, Brad Siberling.

Most of mine have already been posted--Spielberg, Zemeckis, Scorsese, Hughes, Burton, but I also like Rob Reiner, Penny Marshall & Woody Allen(I've been really getting into his movies the past few years).

Yes, I like most of Spielberg's work too. What did you think of A.I.? I understand he was originally going to direct AI with Stanley Kubrick

I thought AI was very depressing. Very stylish but very depressing
