John Ford is probably the greatest American director. "The Searchers" is my personal favorite John Ford film, and "The Quiet Man" and "How Green was My Valley" are good as well.
DW Griffith is considered another great American director, despite the fact that his best-known film, "Birth of a Nation", is unbelievably racist. Technically, Griffith pioneered several new innovations, including color tinting, the iris shot, character development, a defined plot with a climax, etc., subplots, and the use of historically accurate sets and costuming. (My disclaimer: I am not defending the content of this film, I'm just pointing out that this film was an important step in filmmaking)
I've always liked William Wyler's movies. His obvious achievement is "Ben-Hur", but his other films are very good, including "The Best Years of Our Lives" and "The Heiress" and several collaborations with Bette Davis, such as "Jezebel", "The Letter", and (my personal favorite) "The Little Foxes". Wyler was known for getting very good performances out of his actors, especially the actresses.
Orson Welles is another very good American director. "Citizen Kane" is his well-known film, but "The Magnificent Ambersons" and "Touch of Evil" are also well-respected. Unfortunately, Welles' films were very much before their time and didn't do particularly well at the box office, so the studios would often mutilate his finished films, trying to make them more appealing to the masses. This, of course, was when anyone would finance a movie Welles was directing, which was rare, so there are very few Orson Welles films out there. (Kind of to come full circle, Welles was once asked who he thought was the best American director, and he replied, "...John Ford, John Ford, and John Ford.")

My favorite director is John Ford. I can't name a favorite because he's made so many great films. If you've seen some John Wayne movies you've probably seen his work.
She Wore a Yellow Ribbon
The Quiet Man
They Were Expendable
The Searchers
Henry Fonda is another favorite actor for John Ford. Just do a search on IMDB.com "for John Ford" and see the list.

IMHO, either Tim Burton (Corpse Bride, Edward Scissorhands) or Robert Lepage (Far Side of the Moon) or Peter Jackson (LOTR, Heavenly Creatures) or Night Shyamalan (The Village, Sixth Sense) or Ang Lee (Sense & Sensibility, Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon, Brokeback Mountain)
