Top five:
Alfred Hitchcock (fav: Rope)
Tim Burton (fav: Edward Scissorhands)
Terry Gilliam (favs: Monty Python & the Holy Grail, The Adventures of Baron Munchausen)
Kevin Smith (favs: Dogma, Clerks, Clerks II)
Don Bluth (fav: The Secret of NIMH)

Flirting with the list:
Shawn Levy (favs: Big Fat Liar, Real Steel)

Oddly enough, though, none of my actual top films were made by any of them.

And remember, "I'm-a Luigi, number one!"
