K, Im about ready for my next 3
1)Akira Kurosawa : Great variety of brilliant movies,maybe put Asian cinema on the global map along with Ray, the actors he stuck with film after film (Mifune for example) slowly became so natural,its amazing.
2)Ridley Scott: Had to pick him for directing some of my favorite movies (Alien, Blade Runner, Gladiator). Though i have to say i was pretty disappointed by American Gangster which, given the people involved, should have been so much better.
3)Mani Ratnam: another Indian director, has much less renown outside of India as compared to Ray, but makes movies which are really close to Indian way of life, and amazingly brings out performances from his actors even they might not have thought themselves capable of
