First post in the forum. So hi to all NF!
Christopher Nolan is my favourite director and has a special place in my heart as when I watched a film from his filmography I started having a strong interest in cinema. And is one of the few directors that I want to dive and learn more about behind the scenes of his movies.
Other favourites:
Kubrick
Tarantino
Hitchcock
Billy Wilder
Scorsese
Villeneuve
PTA
Chazelle
Arronofsky
Steve McQueen
Alejandro G Inarritu
Andrea Arnold
David Fincher
Sydney Lumet
Bong Joon ho
Park Chan Wook
David Lean
James Gray
Alfonso Cuaron
Nuri Bilge Ceylan
Yorgos Lanthimos

There are many directors that I love some of their films and I don't like the rest. A few examples Terrence Malick, Coppola, Refn, Eastwood, Spielberg, Peter Jackson, George Miller, Kim Ki-duk and many others.
Some new film-makers that look very promising based on what we've seen so far.
Ari Aster
Robert Eggers
Jordan Peele
Safdie Brothers
Craig Zahler
Alex Garland
Lazlo Nemes
