The three directors you just couldn't live without

Also known as your favorite three directors. Who are your cinematic gods, so to speak? Here are mine, and if you ask me, no director even comes close to rivaling these three's overall bodies of work:

David Cronenberg
David Lynch
John Carpenter

Romero, Raimi, Jackson

Havent seen enough Lynch yet so it might change.

Oh and for honorable mention: Lloyd Kaufman, even though many think his films are crap you gotta give the guy mad props, he is the only true independent director.

I think it's safe to assume that we aren't talking horror.

Wes Anderson
Stanley Kubrick
Paul Thomas Anderson

I know two of these guys are still extremely early in their careers, but I have LOVED what they have shown me thus far. If Spike Jonze keeps up his track record, he could easily make my top three list.

Wow... this is fucking hard, man... But here they are, in no real order...

David Cronenberg
Todd Solondz
Martin Scorsese


Much love, though, to David Lynch, Stanley Kubrick, Cameron Crowe, David Fincher, George Romero, Todd Haynes, John Carpenter, Michael Mann, Sam Raimi and whoever shot the Bud Dwyer footage

My three used to be the same as your three, Cujo, but the last thing I liked from Carpenter was Escape from L.A.

I guess I would have to put Shyamalan in to replace Carpenter, even though I can barely pronounce his name.

So, not in any order:

Lynch
Cronenburg
Shyamalan

I'd love to have Peter Jackson in there, but I don't know who to remove!
