These guys are so good I can't pick just one movie but here's my list, in alphabetical order:<br />
<br />
The Coen Brothers - Fargo, Miller's Crossing, Blood Simple, and, of course, The Big Lebowski<br />
Clint Eastwood - Unforgiven, Mystic River, Million Dollar baby<br />
Martin Scorsese - GoodFellas, Casino. (I would say The Departer, but John McFetridge is following this thread, and I know better.)<br />
Ridley Scott - Alien, Blackhawk Down, Thelma and Louise<br />
