John Carpenter is the best, why>? because dude is a triple threat: he directs, writes and lays down his own sick synth soundtracks.

Just finished watching The Wrestler. And I've seen Aronofsky's previous 3 films. He has got to be one of the best filmmakers alive.
I'd like to watch more quality movies like Aronofsky's. Any other directors and/or writers I should be following?
