Doctor Who?

After being blown away by Wall E I decided to watch all of Pixar's movies and this may surprise quite a few people but I think they may be my favorite movie studio of all time,They are the only ones whose every movie I really like.

Who or what are your favorite film makers?

That's a rather large question.  Pixar are great, yes, but I didn't particularly care for Cars or A Bug's Life.  If you like quality animation, I'd certainly recommend Studio Ghibli and their movies, whose best movies are flat-out masterpieces.

Doctor Who?

See that's one of the reasons I started this thread everyone has a difforant way of looking at this question so I think it will be interesting to find out how people look at it.

For me it's what movies to I still find fun even after more then a decade and I have seen them again and again and for me the only answer if Pixar,A Bugs Life was there weakest film but I still found it enjoyable,I really liked Cars,The Incredibles is is my second favorite Superhero movie of all time,and Wall E is one of the best animated movies of all time.

Is there a better movie studio than Asylum? I mean, really... c'mon.

I not too finicky when it comes to favorites of anything but do enjoy the work of Edgar Wright, Jean-Pierre Jeunet, and Sam Raimi more so than the rest.

Nuimage and Troma?

I like Troma a lot, but I'd personally liked Death Racers better than anything Troma has ever produced, to be honest.

Of course, it seems that Asylum didn't actually produce Death Racers, and only distributed it, from what I can gather.

sergio leone is definately high i find all his movies great (maybe not collossus of rhodes but he wasnt as in control of that one)  but after that i love them all and few filmmakers have such a good track record. 
also i love cronenberg and lynch.  cronenberg for his unique horror(no teens getting gutted here) and lynch for his insanely dark humour.

http://www.imdb.com/company/co0043571/  They also Produced it.

IMDb is user edited. There's no real moderation. I could go on there and add a trivia item to the George W. Bush page, saying that he is considered one of the biggest clods of all time, and they'd accept it. (I won't, but theoretically, someone could do that and get away with it.)

When it was first announced, it was said to be an independent production, there wasn't any mention of Asylum producing it, and the original title was Road Rage, so I assume that it was only distributed by Asylum, who changed the name to Death Racers to cash in on Death Race.
