Kurosawa was once considered the greatest director of all time.  I think you should categorize the best directors.  there are great action, drama, comedy etc.  I mean Blake Edwards is an awesome comedic director as Rob Reiner.  Ron Howard is good too as a director.  George Lucas.

Tarantino and Zemeckis are definitely up there but my all-time favourite would have to be Speilberg.

Yeah but you've got to appreciate that he did it ahead of its time - nobody else was making films like that back then - it's irrespective of the fact that they were for kids - the guy made great films nonetheless.
