One of the few directors who is able to create completely original films. See: Inception, The Prestige, Memento
Amazing ability at story-telling. See: The Departed Also, one of the few mainstream filmmakers that have the guts to create highly detestable characters, and I love it. I'm sick of the generic goody-two-shoes hero replicated too many times in Hollywood films, and we need more complex, interesting characters!
Like Tarantino, his scripts truly stand out and shine with brilliance and realism. Also willing to focus on immoral and highly complex characters. See: There Will Be Blood, The Master
Brilliant, clever writing, highly enjoyable films, memorable characters- what's not to like about Tarantino's films?!
Has the ability to create terrifically executed epics with advanced technology, and as a fan of films, you definitely have to appreciate that.
A very versatile filmmaker who can make great films from a variety of different genres.
Very few directors put as much ambition and dedication to their projects as this genius mind. Cinematography has never shined as brightly and the audiences have never been left with as much wonder as to how exactly he pulls off this grandiose productions.
A creator of amazingly touching and compelling stories, also has the support of one of the most brilliant composers in cinematic history: Thomas Newman! See: American Beauty, Road to Perdition, Revolutionary Road
Responsible for some of the most hilarious and fun movies out there! See: Shaun of the Dead, Hot Fuzz, The World's End
