Spielberg and Robert Zemeckis are two of my all time favorite directors- Spielberg has Jaws, Raiders of the Lost Ark, E.T, Jurassic Park, Saving Private Ryan, etc. & Zemeckis has the Back to the Future trilogy, Forrest Gump, Cast Away, and The Polar Express. these two have had a huge impact on me and are the big reasons why i want to be a film director myself and study it in college.

Christopher Nolan, Steven Spielberg, and Martin Scorsese are my favorites.

A sleeper for me is James Wan though. He hasn’t made any absolute masterpieces but all of his films are so rewatchable and fun.
