Directors just as flawed as they are brilliant

I came up with the idea for this thread after watching Opera, in all honestly a great movie... or, it would have been if it hadn't kept reminding me it's a movie. Yeah, though I am a big proponent of his still, I will admit that Dario Argento makes a number of what I consider flubs in his films. It's the same thing with Jeff Lieberman to me.
I believe that Dario Argento knows suspense, and knows well how to misdirect an audience just as Jeff Lieberman can come up with great stories filled with dark and disturbing undertones... however, I believe the Argento falls short on creating entirely realistic plots and action scenes, just as I feel Lieberman often doesn't use ideas or budgets to their full-potential.
Are there directors out there you love, who nonetheless have habits which prevent their movies from being entirely satisfying to you?

âThe Fright Night remake is a film which taps into the audienceâs deepest rooted fears, such as those of vampires throwing motorcycles at them. I dread the thought of a vampire throwing a refrigerator or a deskjet printer or... Iâd better stop before I give myself nightmaresâ
