Hiyao Miyazaki, with Spirited away even though Mononoke is my favorite. Spirited Away is something else and has everything. It's pure magic from start to finish and never lets up with the wonder. I like how he simply gives a big middle finger to the normal progression of pacing and manages to create incredibly powerful scenes where nothing is said.
Wes Anderson, The Budapest Hotel, his peak performance. His best work playing with aspect ratios and his best caricatures in an amazing setting.
Terry Gilliam, 12 Monkeys, also Bruce Willes' best performance. Amaing attention to detail while always leaving you guessing what's real or is it all merely a psychosis.
