Current favorites are:
Anh Hung Tran
Akira Kurosawa
Ingmar Bergman
Alfred Hitchcock
Stanley Kubrick
Terry Gilliam
Werner Herzog
David Lynch
Wes Anderson
Ming-liang Tsai
Woody Allen
Martin Scorsese
It's worth noting that the only ones on this list who I've seen every movie by are Tran and Anderson, and they only have 3 each. For Bergman and Herzog I've less seen than half of their work, but I've really loved what I've seen.
As I see more of their work, I strongly suspect Cocteau, Mizoguchi, Ozu and Bunuel will be considered among my favorites.

Good to see Tran Anh-Hung on your list. I greatly enjoyed all 3 of his films i've seen. The Scent of Green Papaya is elegant, contemplative and beautiful, Cyclo (delicate, deadly, delirious) shows great cinematic flair, and At the Height of Summer is a lovely gentle drama, with gorgeous colours. I've managed to persuade our film society to screen it. I look forward to much more by him.
