For your consideration the greatest ever film maker alive or dead. Please put forward your nominations for the list to be compiled and we can have this out for once and for all.

Take a wild guess at mine.

Thank you.

Alfred Hitchcock is easily the best, but some other nominees off the top of my head would be:

Yasujiro Ozu
Akira Kurosawa
John Ford
John Huston
Sergio Leone
Jean Renoir
Michael Powell
David Lean
Carol Reed
William Wyler
Vittorio da Sica
Orson Welles

and probably loads more...

Or from more modern times

Joel Coen
Jim Jarmusch
Pedro Almodovar

Can this include directors that were great, but have somehow lost the plot in recent years?

If so, mine would be John Carpenter and Terry Gilliam

What a mighty good call that is.

Gareth, out of interest, which do you prefer: "M" or "Metropolis"?
