Nowadays there are promising directors emerging every year. Who do you think are the best working currently?
I adore the work of Denis Villenueve, everything he makes is so methodical and captivating, he is one of the best, and by far the most consistent directors today. I'm also a huge fan of the Coen brothers, as well as Tarantino, but I think if I was made to pick I would give Villeneuve the prize.
I am not sure if I can pick a single favorite. I do agree with Denis Villeneuve though, he is my favorite newer director. I will also toss out David Fincher he has consistently stayed at the top of my list over the years.
Fincher is definitely up there for me - I'm a big fan of Sam Mendes' work too, and Nolan of course!!
Denis Villeneuve, David Fincher, Danny Boyle, Christopher Nolan and, a rather low-key one, J.C. Chandor
@TheMovieDiorama If we're talking less mainstream directors I would say Michael Hanake and Xavier Dolan.
Some other popular directors I forgot to mention are Tom Hooper, Alejandro G Inarritu and Alfonso Cuaron.
I would say probably Nolan but in reality there are many excellent directors blessing us with their work today.
Nolan for me though hasn't really missed. Very consistent.

Nolan is always up there for his excellent reimagining of Batman, but check out these others:
