I cast my vote at "M Knight Shyamalan." I mean, come on. His movies werent really THAT great, and the good that does come from them is more from the all star casts that he always has the privledge to work with. I mean, how many horrible movies do you love because they have Mel Gibson or Bruce Willis in it?

You don't have to like the director to love the film in my opinion.

Clint Eastwood.
