Who is the best movie director of all time?

UWE BOLL?

John Carpenter.

Having said that, I do think some of his films are overrated.

One of them guys who cranked out 5000 eps of Gunsmoke and Perry Mason and what not. Those old school dudes knew how to work and get things done on schedule.

As far as American directors go, I'd say Scorsese has the most impressive body of work. Followed by Kubrick possibly.

Coppola might have had the greatest run of any director ever in the 70s, where he just knocked one classic out after another, but after Apocalypse now he never really hit those heights again. The closest he came in my opinion might have been with Dracula. That's my favorite version, but horror fans tend to be pretty divided on that one.

I'm not a film scholar by any means, though. My knowledge of older movies is sketchy in some areas. And I haven't seen nearly as many foreign films as I want to. I keep meaning to get around to taking in more of those, but never seem to.

The guy who did Jaws, Raiders of the Lost Ark, E.T, Duel, Catch Me If You Can, Temple of the Doom, Saving Private Ryan, Ready Player One, Schindler List, The Last Crusade, Lincoln, Jurassic Park..

Ingmar Bergman

David Fincher.

Imo it’s David Fincher, I also like a lot of the Coen Brothers movies.
