now...Hollywood is filled with fantastic actors and actresses and music composers, but the people who made it work, for the movie to actually be a MOVIE, there's a certain person who is bigger than the producer on set..that is the director..
so today...im making my top 5 list of my favourite directors..and as usuall..i have my honorouble mentions, and this lists mentions are:
1- Mike Newell - for those that do not know, mike newell is most notably known for his movies such as Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, The Man in the Iron Mask, and most recently, Prince of Persia, he has a knack for thriller and suspense and his directing is top notch in those genre
2- Matthew Vaughn - the brilliant mind behind Kick Ass and Stardust, no doubt a great success and i love the first person view in kick ass as much as the next guy this guy is new, and have a lot of talent in directing, he jst need the right scripts
3- John Lasseter - the brilliant mind behind Disney/Pixar's joint ventures...he directed a number of movies before being an executive producer, such as a bugs life, cars, and most notably Toy Story 1 and 2
now that the honorable mentions are done..lets go on to the Top 5!
[5]
Edward Zwick
and i know many of you would be throwing a fit, why is he number 5? loL!
well edward zwick is no doubt one of the best directors anyone could hire to make a movie from silver to gold, he is most notably known for his eye in action war movies such as Glory and Blood Diamond..and he also directed my favorite movie The Last Samurai
his direction is uncanny and beautiful...

Zack Snyder
yes this man is bigger than Edward Zwick in my list, why???
just cause of his knack of precision in detail, every little small detail he doesn't miss anything, he wants everything to be perfect, nearly all of his movies have the matrix slow motion sequence, this is cause of his need of wanting to show the audience the fine detail of a fight, a moment, a scene...its just great to watch, and for those that don't know, he directed the bloody war movie 300 and the Watchmen, The Legends of the Guardian of Ga'hoole, and most recently Sucker Punch
[3]
Darren Aronofsky
now this young director just started but the buzz he created at Hollywood has made people to notice him, he started small and now he has worked with a lot notable personalities such as Micky Rourke (the Wrestler) and most recently Natalie Portman (Black Swan).
He has a brilliant mind in bringing out the emotion from his actors/actresses, he has won a nomination for his work in Pi, The Wrestler and Black Swan for Best Directing, he maybe just starting out, but his making quite some big waves

Christopher Nolan
No doubt a genius in his own way, what he sees in one hour and 30 minutes, takes others around 3x more for them to see it..
honestly one of the most profound directors in this day and age, a brilliant mind, and uncanny eye for excellence, his movies are beautifully rendered to play with the mind and the motives of his movies are sometimes unclear to an untamed mind, but no doubt a successful nonetheless
he's resume includes The Prestige, Batman Begins, Inception and his biggest movie The Dark Knight
[1]
Lee Unkrich
I know what you're thinking Lee??? Lee unkrich?? the animation director??
YES the animation director, the BEST in my view animation director of all time, not because i love disney/pixar movie (which i most certainly do) but its because of the hard work in directing a non living actor, the only living thing he can work on, is the actors, and the designers, he has to make sure that everyone is drawing the right emotion the right scene, the right shading and colour, he has to all that, and still he made phenomenal movies such as
Finding Nemo, Cars, Monsters Inc, Ratatouille, and most recently and his most critically acclaimed movie, Toy Story 3
so there you have it, my top 5 directors, these are the best in the buisness in my opinion and no doubt we can expect a whole lot more from these 5 men
well thats it for now
LATER!!!
