I'll always see films from Spike Jonze, the Coen Brothers, Paul Thomas Anderson, Fincher, and Cuaron.

Assuming he sticks the landing with The Raid 2 (which apparently is 2.5 hours long, holy fucking shit), Gareth Evans for sure.

John Carpenter is another one, as he's probably the filmmaker who's movies I've consistently liked the most, with a better track record than pretty much any of the "bigger" names.

John Woo - Fell off the list after Paycheck, completely redeemed himself with Red Cliff.

Cuaron, Nolan and Fincher. For people I would once have said that about but have now been forced to recant, Spielberg, Jackson and Abrams.

Sight unseen - Takashi Miike, Takeshi Kitano, Park Chan-wook, Andrew Niccol. Lots, really.

Steve McQueen, though I haven't seen 12 YEARS A SLAVE yet.
Fincher.
Aronofsky.
Sam Mendes.
Tarantino.
Judd Apatow, although THIS IS 40 was a pretty wide miss.

As far as DPs go, I'll try and see as much as I can from:

Deakins, obviously.
Reed Morano.
Brad Young.
Rodrigo Prieto.
Emmanuel Lubezki.
Chris Doyle.

At the risk of sounding contrary, none of them. If a movie interests me, negative reviews or no, I'll see it. If not, all the star power in the world is not going to get me there.

God loves you!

Edgar Wright

Re: Take my money please Mr Director

Kubrick, if he was alive. Every one of his works was a masterpiece of composition.

Probably some others too, but Duncan Jones comes to mind.
