Frank Rodriguez directed Sin city but Quentin in an advisory role, u know Rodriguez and Quentin a very good friends, they share creative ideas, infact they both did a movie GRINDHOUSE together.

Im quite aware of Quentin's one scene in Sin City but that still doesnt make it HIS movie. Same way Hostel and such arent his movies even though his name is on it. Anyway cant wait til "Inglorious Bastards" next year.

Alfred Hitchcock is a given wink. I'd also add Stanley Kubrick for Clockwork Orange & The Shining, Orson Welles for Third Man, Akira Kurosawa for Ran & Rashomon and Martin Scorcese for Taxi Driver, Raging Bull, The Departed and the two movies I can watch over and over agaion, Casino & GoodFellas.

i admire Mike Bamiloye a lot. he has so many films and they all have a message. his films are good. u must learn something from each and everyone of them and his productions are really really good.

Apart from the 'father of blockbuster' - Steven Spielberg, who is in a class all by himself, i think i admire Ridley Scott, Martin Scorcese, Clint Eastwood, Micheal Moore and a few others.

love ridley scott for his unique cinematography and ability to make the audience feel what is going on in the movie - e.g black hawk down, the gladiator and american gangster.

1. M. Night Bit stale now, but used to make awesome films.

2. Scorsese Been around for a very long time and still makes great movies. Good Fellas is ONE GREAT MOVIE. Can watch it forever

3. Judd Apatow Currently makes the funniest movies around: 40 year old Virgin, Knocked up,

4. Frank Darabont Shawshank Redemption, Green Mile

5. John Woo Face Off, Windtalkers, MI2. I like action grin

6. David Fincher Just because he gave the world Fight Club. Hasn't done any other useful thing.

Don't particularly like Nigerian films. I saw Amazing Grace. The story was flat, but it has BY FAR the best Cinematography I have seen in a Nigerian Film. It was very well done by Nigerian standards. We need to put money in Nigerian films to make them work.
