..Great body of work, rather than individual favourite films:

Wong Kar Wai: look at the films..Days of Being Wild, Chungking Express, Ashes of Time, Happy Together, In The Mood For Love (haven't watched my copy of 2046 yet)
Hideaki Anno: Sustained brilliance through 25 episodes of Evangelion (that's something like 12-13 hours work of work!), and then Kareshi Kanojyo no Jijyo.
Hayao Miyazaki: incredibly sustained run between Nausicaa and Sen to Chihiro no Kamikakushi. Favourite film is still Tonari no Totoro. But this is
conditional vote...I think his partner, Isao Takahata, the more interesting director.
Shunji Iwai: Love Letter, Swallowtail Butterfly, April Story, All About Lily Chou Chou.
Satyajit Ray: Pather Panchali, Apajito, World of Apu, all the way to Agantuk.
