These are personal "favorites" - my list of "great" and "greatly admired" directors would be much, much longer. (Hence Sturges'inclusion and Bergman's, Kubrick's, Eisenstein's and Tarkovsky's absence.)

In no particular order:

Jean Renoir
Alfred Hitchcock
W.F. Murnau
Carl Dreyer
Charles Chaplin
Buster Keaton
Michael Powell/Emeric Pressburger
Yasujiro Ozu
John Ford
Akira Kurosawa
Kenji Mizoguchi
John Huston
Preston Sturges
Alain Resnais
Martin Scorsese
Peter Greenaway
David Lynch
Zhang Yimou
Mike Leigh
Peter Weir

These folks could be on the list someday...

Michael Winterbottom
Alphonso Cuaron
Darren Aronofsky
Alejandro Innaritu
Spike Jonze
Christopher Nolan
Alejandro Amenabar
Abbas Kiarostami
