The Mount Rushmore would have to be: D.W. Griffith, Orson Welles, Alfred Hitchcock, Jean-Luc Godard

D.W. Griffith for his pioneering editing and for having created the first feature length film. He was also a horrible racist, but given that two of the people on the real Mt. Rushmore were slave owners I'm not sure that is supposed to be taken into account.

Orson Welles belongs up there because he changed the game with Citizen Kane. Movies in the 40s look distinct from movies in the 30s for a reason.

Alfred Hitchcock is there for slightly different reason. He didn't make a game-changing movie but he did become the first director to become a celebrity with the general public and probably did more to prove the auteur theory to the public than any other filmmaker.

Godard belongs there basically as a representative of the French New Wave and its incredible influence on pretty much every major movie of the late 60s 70s and beyond.

As for all the Orson Welles arguments: yes, Welles never lived up to his original potential, however, I don't think that was entirely his own fault. Few people were ever screwed over by the studio system quite like Orson Welles. Had he been given serious resources, and maybe been less of an insufferable prick in his business dealings, he could have been the undisputed greatest.
