I would have to say David Lynch: http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000186/
or Charlie Kaufman: http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0442109/

Who are your favorites?

The film's violence is cartoonish in nature. It's a fun movie.

Vincent Gallo is a hero of mine. I second David Lynch, Stanley Kubrick, Werner Herzog, David Cronenberg, and Jean Luc Godard.

I will also add Harmony Korine as another favorite. I actually met him at the Toronto Film Festival for his premiere of Mister Lonely and he was one of the nicest people I have ever met. Gummo and Julien Donkey Boys are films that must be watched at least once. The man has a vision like no other. Michael Haneke is brilliant as well. Naked and The Piano Teacher were films that stayed with me for such a long time after I viewed them.

Miike is a machine and he's pretty crazy, but in a good way. Ichi the Killer, Fudoh, Visitor Q, Gozu, and Sukiyaki Western Django were fantastic.

Shohei Imamura (Takashi Miike's mentor). The Eel is amazing.

The Coen Brothers (No Country for Old Men)
Kathryn Ann Bigelow (Finally ever since it won the academy awards, The Hurt Locker has been getting some attention.)
It's animation but Pixar and Hayao Miyazaki have made some of my favorites.

Hitchcock
    The master of suspense. Its hard to watch his movies as they are 4:3 and B&W, but everytime I watch one I glimpse moviemaking genius.

Quentin Tarantino
    Coolest, baddest m-fucker auteur filmmaker of our time, nuff said

Studio Ghibli
    It baffles me that in this world of greed, abuse & corruption, there exists a Miyazaki or Takahata. Where when you watch any of the studio's films, you see so much good - such pure, untainted good flowing from the core of the heart. Tis' a genuine and rare thing these days. (e.g. opening montage of "Whisper of the Heart" with the John Denver track)

Park Chan Wook
    "JSA, Vegeneace trilogy, Cyborg, Thirst" -greatest Korean director ever fosho

Ryuhei Kitamura
    His debut "Versus" is a viceral, kinectic rolling thunder of an action extravaganza go watch it now and pick your jaw up off the carpet later

Zack Synder
    "Sucker Punch" sucked but his movies have the most balletic, exquisite slo-mo montage sequences that puts the viewer in a dream-like trance state

The Wachowskis
    "The Matrix" is a revolutionary cultural & technological landmark which has influenced endless action movies ever since

Luc Besson
    Movies often unrealistically portray the hitman role to be flashy and invincible. Nikita & Leon brought the bitter & the bleak out of the role. Besson also wrote & produced the Taxi (funny as fuck) & Transporter (cool as an ice cube) films. Not to mention Yamakasi and Banlieue 13 - which are the hottest shit if you've heard of parkour
