Top 10 Directors of the Decade

I'm a huge fan of Pedro Almodovar, huge. Also work as a writer and did an article on the decade's best directors and, of course, put him way up on the list. Think few filmmaker working today have the level of skills he does.

Anyone agree or disagree? Also, if you're an Almodovar fan, who else do you love?

In no particular order, my ten favorite filmmakers still working:
Pedro Almodovar
David Lynch
John Waters
Guy Maddin
Wong Kar-Wai
Todd Solondz
Michael Haneke
Jim Jarmusch
Bill Plympton
-and I leave this spot open for Iranian cinema. Have yet to see a bad film come out of there.

Yes, I feel he is one of the best with Lynch, Haneke, Tavernier, Chabrol, Allen, Kubrick, etc.
Has a universe of his own that we can share thanks to his great talent.

Agreed gabriela . Almodovar deserves to be thought of as one of the all-time greats. No doubt about it.
