Who is your favourite director, why, and what do you consider their magnum opus?

I'm not really into films enough to have a favourite director. Although I guess I recognise that Steven Spielberg has made a lot of incredible films, with Jaws being my favourite. He really knows how to draw an audience in.

Also, looking at John McTiernan's filmography, he's directed three of my all time favourite movies (Die Hard, which is my number one, Die Hard with a Vengeance, and Predator), so props to him as knowing how to make a great action movie.
