So who's your favourite director of all time? Or at least in your top 3?

Catherine Hardwicke, Michael Bay and Jason Friedberg. Think Hardwicke takes it out for me.

Charlie Kaufman and Quentin Tarantino are both brilliant and my favourites. I haven't checked out enough of the more 'classic' directors to make a judgement on whether they're the best or not. Scorsese's great. Out of the recent/more mainstream directors, Fincher, Nolan, Aronofsky are consistently good. Paul Thomas Anderson's been doing some interesting stuff lately -- still gotta check out The Master. I despised Magnolia but loved There Will Be Blood.

I have massive respect for Larry Clark for just doing his thing, even when everyone calls him a filthy pedo. Bully (2001) is still one of the most intense and gritty films I've ever seen.

Hard to have a single favourite, maybe top 4...

Kubrick, Nolan, Tarantino, Scorcese

Personally love the work of Christopher Nolan. His Batman movies were amazing. Would love to see him do a James Bond film!

I don't have an exclusively favourite director, but top 3... Christopher Nolan, Orson Welles and Ridley Scott probably.
