I really don't have any preference over directors. I think generally people give way to much credit to directors (especially when they aren't screenwriters).

For me the crucial things that determines the film are the story and screenplay, and in some cases visual design too (for example H.R. Giger for Alien; McQuarrie and Johnston for OT).

The primary things that concern the director, i.e. acting, camera work and on-set details, are really secondary to me when it comes to determining whether I will like the film or not.
