Sergio Leone going back in time. Created a genre. Boosted the career of Clint Eastwood. Apparently turned down the offer to direct the Godfather.
Recent times - Since Million Dollar Baby, have loved Clint Eastwoods films.
All time steady family orientated genre has to be Spielberg.
Martin Scorsese I can´t forgive for the Irishman. Anyone who has read the original book by Charles Brandt would agree. But then look back at Cape Fear, Casino,Raging Bull,Goodfellas etc etc etc. His Filmography is not short a few good films.
My favourite backing British is Danny Boyle - Going years back to the Beach, Trainspotting, Slumdog, Shallow Grave. In 2004 he directed a beautiful family film called Millions.

Had to look up John Carpenter Zeb, knowing he did Halloween and thought he was just horror , but notice the classic adventure Big trouble in Little China. He is also a composer.

Spielberg and of course Hitchcock. Rear Window for me is an absolute masterpiece.

He was on tour with his band a while ago.
Brilliant night.
Werdly the most John Cartpenteresque score of all (The Thing) was by Ennio Morricine.
