Over the impact of friends and peers, I happen to dig out some gems in the celluloid history. Certain people, whose work surpasses the common norm of ignorance. Hence, making them into a list of them wouldn't be much of a harm, wouldn't it? And admiring the work of these persons in every, single project of theirs is worth an experience in itself.

• Stanley Kubrick
• Martin Scorsese
• Guy Ritchie
• Christopher Nolan
• Steven Spielberg
• Kevin Spacey
• Clint Eastwood

And yes, this list would grow, if not here, in other posts. Till then, will be searching in IMDB for more such diamonds.
