It's really a difficult choice. I'd go with Weir.

I'll go for Weir, a terribly underrated director. Who else could pull off Picnic at Hanging Rock, The Year of Living Dangerously, Witness, Dead Poets Society, Green Card, Fearless, and The Truman Show?

Very difficult to pick. One Flew & Amadeus are better than anything Weir has ever done... yet I think Weir is the more interesting filmmaker to dissect. And I think he's made more great films. (Note: I've seen all of Weir, and everything from Forman except Ragtime & Hair).

Two of my favourite directors.
Peter Weir´s work on Master & Commander, The Truman Show, The Last Wave, Witness and Galipoli is remarkable...but Milos Forman made Amadeus, one of the greatest films (and BP winners) of all time, so I´ll go with the czech.

Tiniest of edges to Forman....so so tiny.

Only seen a couple from each of them. I haven't seen Amadeus or Picnic at Hanging Rock, which seem like their respective best works.
I'll go with Forman, tho. One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest gives him the edge.

Both have some impressive highs and eclectic resumes. Weir's Picnic at Hanging Rock is all kinds of incredible and a masterclass on how to create atmosphere. I also love Master and Commander (should have one best picture that year), and The Truman Show and Gallipoli are great. The Last Wave is super underrated -- but I don't think much of his more iconic works such as Witness or Dead Poet's Society. Hope he has more films in the future.
As for Forman, Amadeus is all-time great, Cuckoo is very good, The Firemen's Ball is underseen and Larry Flynt has some fine performances. He directs his casts well, but there are many of his films that I'm not inclined to revisit and found very forgettable (Hair, Ragtime, Valmont, Man on the Moon). Still, when both directors are on, they are on. I give this one to Weir.
