Directors are the ones who are home figure , and their names can very often be the matter that persuades hearing to get up and go to the theater in the first place . And while many director have made their imprint on Hollywood chronicle , here ’s our lean of ten directors that transform the agency movies have been imprinted on us .

Christopher Nolan

Not the director we deserved , but the theater director we needed . While theMarvel Cinematic Universemay currently be taking over the globe one undertaking at a meter , there will never be another bent of superhero films that even comes nigh to Nolan’sDark Knight Trilogy .

The three moving picture were and still are , unlike any other comic - book base photographic film that has embellish the big screen . His Bat - Man franchise partner with a resume of movies such asMemento , Dunkirk , Interstellar , andInception , along with his incredibly creative visual dash of directing easy earn Nolan a spot on this list .

The Coen Brothers

The Coen Brother are arguably the greatest sib to ever ride in the theatre director professorship together , but that ’s just , like , our legal opinion , man . The duo emerged onto the Hollywood scene with their breakout hit ofFargowhich was in short on the AFI Top 100 lean until it was booted off in 2007 . Along with that North Dakota thriller , the brothers are responsible for such classics asO Brother , Where Art Thou ? , True Grit , andInside Llewyn Davis .

However , the brother ’s masterpiece was the 2008 neo - noir westernNo Country for Old Men- good picture , best director , best - adapt screenplay at the Oscars . That ’s the triple - crownwork in face you did n’t recognise .

George Lucas

A farseeing prison term ago , in a galaxy far , far away there lived a director who would forever change the track of sci - fi cinema . Some directors are on this lean because they have several different unique , venturesome , and creative project that conjointly have nothing to do with one another and are different in not only styles but writing style - then there ’s George Lucas .

principal Wars- what more need to be said ? It ’s a multi - billion dollar dealership with myriad ware , memorabilia , theme - parking lot , and now they ’re separate into television shows withDisney+ . All of that was because of one humans . May the personnel be with you , George Lucas .

Ridley Scott

While a director such as George Lucas may have gotten his claim to celebrity for one specific sci - fi franchise , other managing director might have specific niche but not have any problem straying from their usual stuff - one such director is Ridley Scott . While the acclaimed filmmaker got his start from sci - fi pic such asAlienandBlade Runner , he quickly made it known that he was n’t just a one - trick pony and keep producing masterpiece in all type of genres .

With films such asGladiator , Thelma & Louise , American Gangster , andThe Martian , Ridley Scott has made it unmortgaged that his only writing style is quality film - making .

Alejandro G Inarritu

This is the first director on our tilt that mayhap not too many people are familiar with unless they did a quick google search . However , that does n’t make him any less gifted and any less worthy of being on our list .

disregarding that Mr. Inarritu has been around for a couple of decades now , and had at least one Oscar nomination in seven out of his twelve directed flick , he only latterly reached mainstream succeeder with his two filmsBirdmanandThe Revenant , both of which combined for a total oftwenty - oneOscar nominations and seven profits .

Martin Scorsese

He ’s been nominated for twelve Academy Award and has aid launch the careers of hall - of - fame caliber actors such as Robert De Niro , Joe Pesci , and Leonardo DiCaprio .

Despite his recent beef with theMCU , this director deserve the deference of anybody who ’s ever tread metrical unit in a moving picture dramaturgy .

Stanley Kubrick

How many filmmakers in Hollywood would belt down to have just a single plastic film in the AFI Top 100 list ? Well , when you ’re Stanley Kubrick such accolades are a dime a dozen because the clap film maker has directed four picture show ranked among the best that Hollywood has ever produced .

From 1960 until 1971 , Stanley Kubrick had arguably the greatest ten in the story of directing when he createdSpartacus , Dr. Strangelove , 2001 : A Space Odyssey , andA Clockwork Orange . That ’s an absolutely mad channel - up and one that hardly any other manager could disturb .

Quentin Tarantino

We dare you - wedouble defy you- to tell us that Quentin Tarantino is n’t one of the most prolific and unequalled film producer to ever tread behind the photographic camera . Closing in on his third decade of directing , Tarantino ’s handling of his career has already been different than any other director on this list ( or in all of Hollywood ) because he ’s made it clear that his next film is going to be his last .

No other director has ever just call it discontinue because they ’ve slay a certain number . But with classics likeReservoir Dogs , Pulp Fiction , Inglorious Bastards , Django Unchained , and his most late , Once Upon A Time … In Hollywood , Tarantino has already made an emphasized legal tender on directing history .

Alfred Hitchcock

Just a few of his direct works includeStrangers on a Train , Rear Window , Vertigo , North by Northwest , Psycho , andThe bird . If any of those do n’t sound familiar , kindly crawl out from under your rock ‘n’ roll .

Steven Spielberg
