I know some hate him but I think Costner does a fair job, except for a couple of duds I won't mention.
Dances with Wolves was an enjoyable watch . . . and I loved Open Range. Mind you, I'm a fan of Duvall, and Benning . . . she was good in that movie.

I agree, Costner is capable of making great films.
He learned a lot from his great first director, Lawrence Kasdan, in Silverado.
I would like to hear some frank comments on the iconic Alfred Hitchcock. I think his best films were in the fortiies and early fifties.

Danny Boyle, Coen Brothers, Sergio Leone, Martin Scorsese, Tarantino, Clint Eastwood, Ridley Scott(lost some points after that Poopmetheus travesty), Antoine Fuqua, and Orson Welles who might have had the greatest mind related to entertainment to ever walk this planet.
Dirty little secret of mine, Andrew Blake was my favorite director during my high school years and a year or two after graduating.

Ridley Scott, Martin Scorsese, Terry Gilliam, Coen Brothers come immediately to mind as directors I look out for
Yea, Danny Boyle, he's good. Chris Nolan too.
