I'm a big time Coen Brothers fan. Those guys crank out masterpieces like it's going out of style. Scorcese and Tarantino are also up there for me though. 
You have pretty much taste in directors aside from Fincher who I've always thought to be somewhat overrated
I'm so mad that you enjoy a certain combination of noises that I don't

from your list, Eastwood- Forman- Kubrick in no particular order
let's just stay above the moral melee
prefer the sink to the gutter
keep our sand-castle virtues
content to be a doer
as well as a thinker,
prefer lifting our pen
rather than un-sheath our sword

same her, though I want to add Mulholland Drive, which is very good.

from this list, Nolan by a big margin--  Eastwood bores me, Tarantino is innovative but overrated, Kubrick and the Coens have enough kudos, and Spielberg's a joke

Chaplin, Hitchcock, Huston, Kurosawa, Mizoguchi, Iñárritu, Eastwood, Coen Bros, von Trier, Bergman ...

voted Kurosawa, because few days ago I, once again, saw Red Beard and still liked it so much.

Kurosawa by a long way. Couldn't care less about most of the others, then again I usually find it hard to sit through an entire film.

Sergio Leone.  Out of these I'll vote for the Coen bros.  Scorsese did a lot of fantastic things but he also had a lot of flops IMO.

I love Nolan, Tarantino, and The Coen Brothers.  Nolan has my largest amount of favorites, but the Coen brothers have the Big Lebowski, so I voted them...

Kubrick is unsurpassed in film-making, when it comes down to imagery and metaphysics - that somehow speaks of the things we cannot. That´s just my opinion of course, but he is my all-time fave. A lot of great directors here though, but I miss Hitchcock...

Gave Kubrick the edge over the Coen brothers
 
If you voted for Tarantino you should probably run yourself over with a car.

Akira Kurosawa is the greatest filmmaker ever. If you don't agree, you are wrong.

I don't watch many films these days but I think the Coen Bros from the list.  I also very much like Guillermo Del Torro and Almodovar too.

I don't think you meant Benicio, but Guillermo Del Toro. If it is him, I share your appreciation. I recently saw El Orfanato and loved it to death.

I was going to add Walt Disney, but he didn't actually direct those classic animated films
