I think his best was sunshine. On paper its pretty similar to some old crap like Deep impact, but he puts a deeper and far more sinister spin on it.
Also, the special effects are pretty outstanding. The whole film was made in an old warehouse in east london.

Robert Rodriguez--he writes practically everything he does, and also shoots, edits, produces, and composes the music for most of it. Plus he has a good sense of humor and knows how to get shit done.
David Fincher--I like dark movies, though Zodiac and Benjamin's Butt were rather long. But Seven, Fight Club, and Zodiac I really liked.
Edgar Wright--I think he's only done two movies (Hot Fuzz and Shaun of the Dead), but I love the emphasis he puts on humorous quick camera shots and double callbacks.
Ridley Scott--nuff said.
Tony Scott--Ridley's bro! Loved Crimson Tide, Man On Fire, Spy Game, and Enemy Of The State.
Guy Ritchie--When he's on form, he does great. Revolver was iffy, and Swept Away was just embarrassing, but his other three are amazing, and Sherlock Holmes looks promising.
Clint Eastwood--Yes he directs, too. Unforgiven is a modern classic, and Gran Torino is hard-hitting and humorous at the same time.
Michael Mann--nuff said.
Christopher Nolan--No, not just because of the Batman movies. Insomnia was some of the best work I've seen Al Pacino and Robin Williams pull off, and Memento was pretty decent, though gimmicky.
Finally, just because I don't think anybody's mentioned him...Ben Affleck. Yeah, he's only done one movie so far, but it's really really good.

What? Australia was great and Tim Buton is a sort of one-trick pony but he's not bad.Emeli said:
I'd go with:
-Peter Jackson
-Stanley Kubrick (I know he doesn't still make movies but I don't care.)
-Terry Gilliam (Anyone seen Brazil? No? Great movie.)
-Zack Snyder (Because of The Watchmen and 300, I'll forget The Spirit for now.)
-Quentin Tarintino
2001: Space Odyssey is to Stanley Kubrick what The Spirit is to Zack Snyder. I watched about three-quarters of it and couldn't take it anymore (Which is more than I can say for The Spirit, probably the worst movie ever made) But The Shining, A Clockwork Orange, and Full Metal Jacket are sublime.Rev Erebus said:
Michael Bay for making Transformers 2.
Never before have I seen such tense action sequences woven together by a nail-bitingly tense storyline. This is the movie The Dark Knight desperately wants to be but fails. Every other movie being released in 2009 is now shit just because they have to compete against Transformers 2.
Oh who am I kidding? The story was crap, action scenes were too short and the movie ended exactly like the first one, with Optimus Prime giving a lecture on why humanity rules and Decepticons r suxxorz with a Linkin Park song that sounds a lot like "What I've Done" playing in the backround. Despite all that, I enjoyed the movie................
Damnnit I had a movie poster image that said "More Alien Robots, Bigger Explosions, and Much More Meagan Fox!" but now I can't find it to post. D:
