Martin Scorsese and Alfred Hitchcock are on the top of my list ....

Worthy to mention, although their portfolio is much smaller are David Lynch, Clint Eastwood, Q Tarantino, David Cronenberg and David Fincher.

P.S. I'm no film student .... but Kubrick was a genius IMO. 2001, Clockwork Orange, The Shining, Dr. Strangelove, .... just forgive him for Eyes Wide Shut ... ....
