    I've always thought John Carpenter had a lot more to offer creatively than Wes Craven did IMO.

    I mean this guy created Snake Plisken for Christ's sake, and he took a great horror movie like "The Thing" and re-made it into a scarier better movie.

    im not really knowledgable as far as directors go, but my favorite is by far quentin tarantino. michael moore would probably be a close second, but those are really the only ones im familiar with.

    Thank you.

    McG?? Hahaha. Anyone who would put McG on their list deserves a good smack in the face.
