These are the directors that made me appreciate the art of film making and possibly not the one's I've seen the most movies made by in every case. In other words this Is my top ten list for Directors I recognize and appreciate in no particular order:
1. Woody Allen
2. Tim Burton
3. The Coen brothers
4. Alexander Payne
5. Richard Linklater
6. Wes Anderson
7. Martin Scorcese
8. William Friedkin
9. Wim Wenders
10. Terry Gilliam

Honorable mention to Stuart Rosenberg for a pretty glowing body of work with Cool Hand Luke and The Pope of Greenwich Village as notable bookends to his career.
