you forgot scorsese, out of your list Kubrik, spielberg and tarantino and my personal top 5 includes Woody Allen

[Blasphemy]

IMO its hard cause each have a lot of work. Then you got the old 1930s movies and stuff. IMO Taratino even though he made Pulp Fiction and dogs, can't qualify.

Every one of his films takes stuff from other movies (call it Homage or Plagerism which ever suits you) as such a lot of cool concepts/lines were already taken from other movies (which were either already acclaimed or had a cult following.Only a couple were unknown). All he does is Combine em. IMO though he should really be on the list near the bottom of greatest, cause Pulp Fiction was one were he really stood out amongst everyone else, and had very little stuff from other movies.

Francis Ford Coppola
John Carpenter
Wes Craven
Alfred Hitchcock
Brian De Palma
martin scorsese

i completely disagree, i like the fact that he gives a tip of the hat to the films befoe him, tarantino is like the biggest movie fan, but that doesnt take anything away from him, his style is so developed, you see a scene, and you go, thats so tarantino, and all his movies have such particular and spectacular directing, even jacvkie brown, which i liked, but wasa dropoff after reservior and pulp... tarantino is easily top 5 for me

cant beleive i forgot hitchcock

Sergio Leone

Scorcese has had a lot of FAILS so therefore he FAILS.

a lot of fails? sorry dude u wrong again..
Martin is one of the greatest.. u gotta give him props for movies like: goodfellas(!), mean streets(!), departed, aviator, cape fear, raging bull(!), taxi driver, king of comedy, casino(!), color of money etc.. damn if u still think Scorsese sucks u dont know shit about movies.

my top 5: Coppola, Scorsese, De Palma, Allen, Tarantino.. i also dig  most of Cohen brothers movies.
