Quentin Tarantino is up there, most definitely. Though not because I'm one of his complete ass-kissers that are in abundance. I enjoy the references, and theres something to his style that makes the movies highly enjoyable. The only film of his I've not viewed was Jacie Brown, since I've had friends tell me it's his worst film. I'll have to check it out for myself one day. (For the record, I've found Reservior Dogs pretty bland at first, but it grew on me after a second viewing.)

Peter Jackson isn't bad, but I'll hold off on saying he's good until I view some his other earlier works. He did an awesome job on LoTR.

I'm slowly becoming a fan of Robert Rodregiez. I've seen From Dusk Till Dawn and Once Upon A Time In Mexico, and I loved the style in which those films were made.
