Spirit of 70: Akira Kursokawa
ZackStack: Hayo Miyazaki, closely followed by Brad Bird
Numskull: David Fincher (Seven, Fight Club, Zodiac) (NOTE: This "Se7en" nonsense has got to stop. It was not spelled that way originally, and it should not be spelled that way now.)
cgund: I love Woody Allen. Ron Howard is pretty reliable, and also whichever Coen brother is the director. OH OH, Robt Altman!!

Glamorous Mucus: A few years ago I'd have said J & E Coen or maybe Zhang Yimou, but both been off their game recently. So I'll go with Hitchcock.
sfessey: If martin scorsese had only ever filmed the crane shot in Kundun where he pulls away from monks praying to reveal a mass of orange robes which fill and then overflow out of the screen he would be great. The fact that he is able to master every aspect of every part of a movie in almost every movie he does makes him a genuine cinematic genius.
