Steven Spielberg is my role-model. Not creatively speaking, though he's had a very good track record, but within terms of networking and communication among studios, actors, and crew. As a result, producers like him, child actors like him, and other unheard of Hollywood relationships formed from his techniques as a communicator. Every director, I don't care who they think they are, should learn to adapt his qualities in those arenas.
Beyond that, and creatively speaking (with no order):
Stanley Kubrick
Satoshi Kon
Hideaki Anno
Hayao Miyazaki
Cohen Brothers
Terry Gilliam
Francis Ford Copolla
John Ford
Clint Eastwood
Quentin Tarantino
Micheal Curtiz
Mamoru Hosoda
Shinichiro Watanabe
Alfred Hitchcock

I would say about one fifth of what Jimbo said.
"Now, from Nature we obtain abundant information about ourselves, and precious little about others. About the woman you clasp in your arms, can you say with certainty that she does not feign pleasure? About the woman you mistreat, are you quite sure that from abuse she does not derive some obscure and lascivious satisfaction? Let us confine ourselves to simple evidence: through thoughtfulness, gentleness, concern for the feelings of others we saddle our own pleasure with restrictions, and make this sacrifice to obtain a doubtful result." -The Divine Marquis

Go watch some Brakhage (even if on Youtube) and tell me what you think. If anyone around here could appreciate him I have a feeling it would be you.

From briefly carousing everyone’s lists I see that Kurosawa, the Coen Brothers, Spielberg, Coppola, Miyazaki, Nolan, Godard, and Kar-wai are the most popular.
Perhaps I should develop some sort of consensus list?

"I'd really like to have as much money as you have, Oz" - robersora
"No you wouldn't. Oz's secret is he goes without food to buy that stuff. He hasn't eaten in years." - Brikhaus
"Often I get the feeling that deep down, your little girl is struggling with your embrace of filmfaggotry and your loldeep fixations, and the conflict that arises from such a contradiction is embodied pretty well in Kureha's character. But obviously it's not any sort of internal conflict that makes the analogy work. It's the pigtails." - Merridian
"Oh, Oz, I fear I'm losing my filmfag to the depths of Japanese pop. If only there were more films with Japanese girls in glow-in-the-dark costumes you'd be the David Bordwell of that genre." - Jimbo
"Oz, I think we need to stage an intervention and force you to watch some movies that aren't made in Japan." - Trajan
