Andrzej Zulawski - For the otherworldly ability to intensify the world around intensified emotions to the point where they become parallel again in a magnified refraction
Peter Greenaway - For the mad-scientific dissection and reassembly of any and everything into hilariously discombobulated pieces
Shuji Terayama - For the man who paints from the pallet of dreams and uses every shade and color
Aleksandr Sokurov - For the moments frozen in time, but then melted, and perhaps embalmed afterward for kicks
#5 - A mystery, especially to myself

1. Francis Ford Coppola: Epitomizes what is known as The New Hollywood, with totally unconventional ideas which captured the audience's imagination but challenged the contemporary film-making of those times. The Godfather trilogy remains unbeaten till date.

2. Roman Polanski: This director survived the Holocaust himself. Guess that reflected a little in the types of movies he directed. The Ghostwriter, Oliver Twist and Carnage are my favorites.

3. James Cameron: Does he need any introduction? Avatar speaks for itself. And oh, so does Titanic.

4. Robert Zemeckis: Haven't watched any movies with special effects as in his movies. Loved A Christmas Carol as well as all Back To the Future movies.

5. Oliver Stone: His 2006 movie World Trade Center made for a great watch.
