OK, top 5 do?
In no particular order.....
Quentin Tarantino, for Inglourious Basterds, maybe the best WWII movie I've ever seen.
Kevin Smith, for Dogma.
James Cameron, for everything he did, but I also hate him for not continueing Dark Angel.
Peter Jackson, for Meet the Feebles and Braindead(here)/Dead Alive(USA), also some 3 parter about a ring or something.
Ruben Fleischer, for Zombieland, my new all-time fav movie.

Not in any specific order:
Danny Boyle - If only for '28 Days Later' and 'Sunshine'.
Quentin Tarantino - Besides 'Deathproof' has made some fantastic movies.
Gilmero Del Toro - Again, awesome films and the man is a nutjob when it comes to visuals.
Steven Spielberg - The man makes classics. Not so Much Indie 4, but no ones perfect.
Sam Raimi - Spidey 3 aside, just for the goat in 'Drag me to hell'.

A lot of cool choices above, but I feel obliged to add Kubrick to the list. He has made some classics that will last forever and for me some of his films get better with each viewing (2001/clockwork orange). He put in different layers that allow the viewer fill in his own thoughts, theories and deeper meanings about the plots.

christopher nolan!
batman begins, dark knight, memento, following.... i've loved everything i've seen by this man.

I'm glad someone (Impy) mentioned him:
David Fincher, for Se7en, which is the best movie ever, and Fight Club, the second best movie ever. Just about.
Also, Darren Aronofsky, who Impy also mentioned. Pi and Requiem for a Dream rock!
And Christopher Nolan, who obsidian mentioned. Memento is a really cool movie.
Peter Jackson is on the list, too, and I think I'd also put Spielberg on there, simply because he's so good at his craft, although you often can't really tell it's him. I suppose that can be a good trait, though.
Oh, and scaly, "Peter Jackson - Avatar"?

Sam Raimi: again spiderman 3 aside, he's done an awesome job
Joss Whedon: only who could take the concept of "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" and actually make it work as well as the show did
Guy Ritchie: "Lock, Stock, And 2 Smoking Barrels", and "Snatch" are 2 of my favorite movies plus he's doing the new "Sherlock Holmes" movie which looks entertaining

Quentin Tarantino - Pulp Fiction is one of my fav movies.
Martin Scorsese - The Departed, Goodfellas etc. Genuinely brilliant director, I'm surprised no one's mentioned him yet.
