Fairly simple question, I suppose: what are some of your favorite directors?
I tend to favor the great John Ford, director of such films as The Grapes of Wrath, The Searchers, My Darling Clementine, The Informer, Fort Apache, She Wore a Yellow Ribbon, Rio Grande, The Man Who Shot Liberty Valence, Stagecoach, The Quiet Man, Young Mr. Lincoln, How Green was my Valley, and more. The great Orson Welles, when asked who his favorite directors were, responded, well, I like the old masters, by which I mean John Ford, John Ford, and John Ford. He was admired by Kurosawa, Fellini, and Bergman. Spielberg, Lucas, Kubrick, Coppola, Leone, and others have all referred to his films in their own work.
My personal favorite Ford film is The Searchers. Here is another thread where swords and I went back and forth on the film a bit.

Anyways, so who is everyone's favorite director, and what is your favorite film by that director?
