The greatest director of all time?

I'm starting to think so. I personally dislike auteur cinema because it's always the same thing, a couple of great films at the beginning and then it all goes into this insufferable self-indulgent mess were you actually see the intrusive director on the screen, which does a total disservice to the film. Hitchcock's style is seamless, it other words, it doesn't draw attention to itself, at least not in my opinion. I think he is the greatest.
