4. MICHAEL MANN- some people may laugh at this choice, but michael mann puts a pop culture polish on movies like nobody else. hell, just based on his miami vice movies alone, he is in my top 5. people laugh at vice and the vice tv series now, but vice was THE 80'S. it defined a whole culture........

I understand the pro black sentiment but Mario Van Peebles? All time? New Jack City was great but Posse and Panther sucked HARD. He only directed like 6 movies

continuing his dads legacy.. w the exception of solo.. i thought we were limited to black directors...but if there is no limitations, to be fair we have to break it down into genres...

[killa kadafi191]

Chris Nolan- every movie he has directed I have enjoyed.

Danny Boyle- First independent movie I ever watch was Trainspotting and that open me up to foreign films and this guy. I went on to watch 28 days later and Sunshine. His last two movies have been tamed but still enjoyed them.

John Singleton- from Boys in the Hood to Shaft to Baby Boy to Higher Learning and Poetic Justice.

Wes Anderson- Rushmore, The Fantastic Mr Fox, The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou,The Darjeeling Limited,The Royal Tenenbaums and has a new movie coming out. Love all his movies plus he is a fellow Houston guy. Also he keeps Bill Murray in his movies.
