I don't really have a particular director, when i see something i love, it lights me up!
Giuseppe Tornatore's Cinema paradiso was so beautiful and combined with Ennio Morricone's music.......Bellissimo
Anthony Minghella's English patient was so beautiful and so awe inspiring in such a beautiful location and the music by Gabriel Yared is to die for!
Roland Joffé's The Mission is another Favorite with that amazing photography and music by Ennio morricone.
Most of Clint Eastwoods stuff is most impressive too
