1. Alfred Hitchcock
Known as the 'King of Psychological Thrillers' and 'The Mast of Suspense', Hitchcock's career as director is the most prestigious in the world of the thriller genre with a total of 63 films with 6 of his films appearing on the IMDb list such as 'Vertigo', 'North by Northwest', 'Psycho' and 'Rear Window' 1954 and many more but the last 2 being his most popular being joint 6th together on the list. From the sources it shows how successful Hitchcock was from 1940-1976, this is based on the gross profits of the films at that time. I believe Hitchcock changed the word of Thriller and film itself as he has influenced many other directors with his own work.
2. Steven Spielberg
James Cameron is a director who is responsible for genius pieces of film such as Terminator (1984) and Aliens (1986). He was the first director to make 2 films which have grossed more than $1 billion in the worldwide box office with the films Titanic (1997) and Avatar (2009). In 2010, Avatar became the highest grossing movie of all time but before Avatar, one of his previous films, Titanic was the highest grossing movie of all time for 12 years.
Spielberg is undoubtedly one of the most well known directors in the business, being one of the wealthiest directors in the world. He has countless big grossing credits to his name as a writer, producer but mainly a director. Spielberg's first major directorial effect was 'The Sugarland Express' 1974 which is the film that marked him as a rising star however the film that made him an international superstar among directors is 'Jaws' 1975 but no one can forget that he created the class 'ET- The Extra- Terrestrial'. With all of this and so much more, there's no wonder that he's looked at as one of the greatest ever figues in entertainment.

4. Quentin Tarantino , 5. Martin Scorsese, 6. Christopher Nolan, 7. Roman Polanski, 8. David Fincher, 9. John Carpenter and 10. David Cronenberg.
These directors have been an inspriation to the future of the Thriller genre and have been inspirated by past directors. I think that there work will encourage us to create a opening piece based on a mixture of their ideas.
