Bergman and Fellini are number 1 and 2. Then list goes on unranked; Varda, Rossellini, Ozu, Kurosawa, Godard, Truffaut, De Sica...

If we are taking ''directing'' technically, Kubrick, Hitchcock, Welles and Scorsese too. Tarkovsky needs to be mentioned although i'm not in love with his oeuvre.

Chantal Akerman if the username didn't give it away. Varda, Vigo, Tati, Marker and Rivette too. Cecelia Condit is secretly the greatest short film maker of all time. Bobby McCoy from the Redacted Emotions art crew makes some amazing low budget work that is honestly the only thing that I've seen that gets the internet in film right. Working through a bunch of Satyajit Ray right now. Like every 20 something white man into art I love Lynch and Jarmusch. Herzog for documentaries, less for narrative. Wenders for the opposite. Everything else mentioned here is great except Nolan and as much as I like Coppola he's definitely one of those filmmakers that the more control he got the less good his work got. His extended cut of apocalypse now is atrocious.

Edit: Completely forgot about Wong Kar Wai and Hou Hsiao Hsien and Guy Maddin

I dunno if I'd call him my #1, but Tarkovsky arguably has the best batting average for me out of any director with >5 films. 7 of his 8 narrative features are in my top 1,000, and 5 of them recieved 10/10 scores from me.

1. Welles
2. Hitchcock
3. Bergman
4. Tarkovsky
5. Lang
6. Fellini
7. Angelopoulos
8. Polanski
9. Tarr
10. Kurosawa

Others I would strongly consider for top 10:
Bunuel
Chaplin
Wilder
Dreyer
Von Trier
Lynch
Peckinpah
Altman
Scorsese
Coppola
Kubrick
Kazan
Kusturica
Antionini
Von Sternberg
Von Stroheim (could definitely be higher based on actual quality of his own singular vision and efforts. Unfortunately his films are almost uniformly either interfered with, butchered or lost. Possibly the most uncompromising directer relative to period)

And some dark horses: Bresson could be anywhere from top 10 to top 50 but needs further evaluation to determine. Resnais, Ford, Murnau, Eisenstein, Cassavetes, Godard, Mizoguchi, Ozu, Griffith, Renoir, Hawks, are perhaps just on the outside of those above but could make big leaps with some revisits, further viewing, some tweaks here and there in ratings, and when one considers just how creative/seminal they were...

Very dark horses but not out of the question: Tarantino, Kieslowski, Gilliam, Haneke, Aldrich, Powell, Roeg, Greenaway, Parajanov, Boorman, Malick...

Mine is pure and simple: Francis Ford Coppola. He got me into crime movies, his visual touch is typically stunning and his whole 70's catalogue is flawless. I still need to see some of his lesser-acclaimed hits like Tucker, but every time I see The Godfather I pick up on more subtle things that further confirm to me that it's the greatest film I've ever seen.
