I like Roman Polanski and Oliver Stone.

I like Paul Thomas Anderson too. There Will Be Blood was an awesome movie. There's a cool article on the Filmmaker Magazine site where he talks about making the movie.

This thread looks dead. Okay, let's add it up. After making some heroic, or at least cheeky, assumptions, to the effect that numbered lists are order of preference and unnumbered lists are not, and assigning an arbitrary 5 points for 1st, 4 for 2nd, etc., or 3 to everyone in an unranked list, and making with various other picky little rules, mathematical corollaries, hazarded guesses, and incantations, the 43 submitted ballots and related objects boil down into the following ranked list:

1. Kubrick
2. Spielberg (tie)
2. Tarantino (tie)
4. Scorsese
5. Lynch
6. Hitchock
7. Burton
8. Welles
9. Wilder
10. Coens (tie)
10. Godard (tie)

Are you saying that's a legit accumulation of our thread here? Or is that something else? If it's the former, I applaud you and will try to add some karma to you.
