Top 5 Movie Directors of All Time: Christopher Nolan or Steven Spielberg at No. 1?

Christopher Nolan or Steven Spielberg: who tops these two all-time director lists?Bo and Jared each name their five greatest directors. Their ballots overlap on only Christopher Nolan and Martin Scorsese, then split over what should count most: longevity, consistency, range, box-office impact, or the movies they will rewatch every time.Jared backs Spielberg's decades of work. Bo argues that Nolan's shorter run has the better batting average and is the director he would trust with one must-win movie. The argument becomes a sports analogy: Nolan is Patrick Mahomes; Spielberg is Tom Brady.James Cameron, Michael Mann, Guy Ritchie, Mel Brooks, and Ridley Scott fill out the disagreement. The side trips include Titanic hand trivia, the Shutter Island ending, the broken Jaws shark, Bo's E.T. grudge, and the mystery of how Quentin Tarantino missed both lists.Build your own top five before you watch.
