Kubrick
Carpenter
Cameron
Don't have a 4th - voted Darabont
 
Kurosawa won't ever win this but his Influence over cinema is enormous. Ask any of the living directors on the list about it and they will all be in awe of his movies.
yea I was thinking Kuro would get buried in this which is a shame

he is on my list at least
seven samurai
yojimbo
the bad sleep well
drunken angel
ran

all are absolute classics
 
This quarter-final is full of difficult choices.

Kubrick
Hitchcock
Kurosawa
Carpenter


Hope you don't forget more from Japan.

I don't think I've ever seen a Kurosawa film, despite hearing about him being one of the best ever directors.

Any recommendations for his Top 3 films?
 
Kurosawa, Kubrick, and Hitchcock are the easy picks.

After that, it's very tough to choose between Cameron, Lynch, Boyle, Wyler, and Capra.
 
Capra made my favorite film of all time.
Cameron made some of the greatest sci fi ever.
Hitchcock is responsible for more top 50 films than anyone.
Kubrick vs Carpenter was tough for me. Obviously, Kubrick is the more talented but Carpenter made the best Horror movie ever, and a top sci fi horror ever.
