Luc Besson is my favorite modern director. I fell in love with his work when I saw the last 1/3 of the movie 'The Professional' one afternoon while I was working at home. Since it was on a cable channel it was repeated about 6 times that week and I managed to catch different parts until I had seen it all. That weekend I went to Best Buy and bought the International Version of the film. (That version is called 'Leon').
M. Besson also directed The Fifth Element another movie I enjoy, though I normally prefer my sci-fi a little straighter than Chris Rock in a phallic blonde wig as an interstellar radio star, but hey ...
If you haven't seen his work, check out his page on imdb -

There are so many directors I admire, M. Besson is less well-known to the average american. We all know about the talent and skill of Speilberg, Lucas, Hitchcock, and Orson Welles to name a few American directors. We can even name a few foreign directors like Almodovar, Miyazaki, Leone or Kurosawa. This is another one to add to your repetoire, if you have not had a chance to study M. Besson's work... take some time, it is very much worth the effort.

Robert Altman. My favourite is still MASH, although I also loved Nashville, A Perfect Couple, The Player, Cookie's Fortune and Gosford Park.

There are so many great directors out there it's hard to pick just one. Right now I'm watching a lot of John Schlesinger films Particularly "Marathon Man" and "The Day of the Locust"... "Midnight Cowboy" is great as well.
