This is soooo not fair. These are my top two directors, and I no now that no matter what, one of them will not be in the finals.
So, If I have to decide which one I want to see win this thing most......
....then its Burton.

besides big fish, i think burtons films are very redundant
kubrick
I have many leather bound books.
I'm kind of a big deal.
Changing the plans that I’ve been setting on, I’m scared by the way that my life is getting gone
oh shit, I forgot The Shining... maybe I should have voted for Burton...
Ask not what bears can do for you, but what you can do for bears. (razz)
When one is in agreement with bears one is always correct. (mae)
bears are back!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Was it the movie that didn't like or Kubrick's handling of it, Jean?

This is a good question. Now that you asked it, I think the director's part was ok - not exactly Dr.Strangelove, but quite good anyway. It's the adaptation and the casting that I mostly object to. The same, I suppose, goes for Eyes Wide Shut.
Also, I believe that cinematographically, ACO is a pure work of genius, much as I hate the movie.

Kubrick changed a lot of what was in the book. I'm not sure if it's I knew Kubrick's version before I read Kings or if it's so much more ambiguous in Kubricks but I like the movie version better than the book. Though the book did have some things (hedge animals, that hole) the movie lacked.
I think Shelley DuVall really ruined the shining. Nicholson was a perfect choice. The guy they got to play Grady and Lloyd were fantastic, though.

well, Burton isn't anyone to sneeze at, either...

Burton has made lots of good films but I don't know if he's made a great film yet. Big Fish and Scissorhands are close, though.

My vote went to Stan the Man, but... No love for Batman, really? And Batman Returns? To me those are the best interpretations of the character, and are wonderfully done with art direction up the wazoo.
Holding a grudge from last round? They've faced each other already: It would have been better to swap these around.
To me, these two are both directors who've done great things, yet also each posses glaring faults. I might go with Burton. He brought cultishness into the mainstream... but I'm not sure whether that's really a good thing.
pfft

I love Edward Scissorhands, but 2001 has been my favorite movie since I saw it sometime in the late '60. That was a (movie)experience still unsurpassed.

Oh no, tied at 13! Can't believe we can't get more! Go Kubrick!
REMINDER :
If the poll ends in a tie, the posts in favor will count as the final tie breaker !
One more vote for Burton, anyone!....
Only the gentle are ever really strong.
