Tim Burton: Ed Wood
Coen Brothers: Hudsucker Proxy
Robert Zemeckis: The Walk
Frank Capra: Arsenic and Old Lace

And also, Irvin Kirshner. Im not particularly a Star Wars or Action movie fan, so i cant be sure if he's a great director or not. but evidently a lot of people think he is because of Empire Strikes Back. But these are are a few films I've always really liked by him.

Actually about to re-watch The Wrong Man for the first time in a few years. DVR'd it from it being on TCM at 3 in the morning. I haven't seen your pick of Family Plot, but since TCM is showing a ton of Hitch movies in July, I plan to watch or DVR it when it comes on later this month.

Family Plot is more like a comedy/caper movie than any kind of suspense movie. so I can understand why not many people like it. but I happen to love movies where the actors get to act silly and shit. That's what it's like. Its actually a lot of fun and the actors are so funny. And the plot is pretty amusing too.
