I voted Kubrick, Scott & Spielberg in the poll. Eagan's are all good picks, I recall seeing 25 of them and enjoying them all.
 
It's just Luc Besson. Your Trek is showing. ;)
OMG, you're absolutely right. I could pretend that I did it on purpose, but I didn't. It was late at night, I was on a Star Trek site, thinking about French movie directors (e.g. Jean Luc Godard) so maybe it is a bit understandable; but a bit worrying nonetheless.

Unrelated titbit: As well as War Of The Worlds, I forgot to include Ready Player One in Spielberg's list
 
Carpenter (and I'd add Prince of Darkness into the list)

Villeneuve

Garland (It's controversial but Dredd could be added into the mix here as well given there's a lot of evidence he was directing it more than Travis was)
