Comprising a list of the greatest directors in the business is not an easy task. There are many individuals who consistently create some of the best movies of the year.
But which directors working today are the best? Here are some of my favorites.
Martin Scorsese is simply put, one of the best. When all is said and done, he will go down as one of the greatest of all time. If you are not all too familiar with Scorsese’s work, some of his better movies to see include Raging Bull, Gangs Of New York, Taxi Driver and Goodfellas.
Another incredible director working today is Christopher Nolan. In fact, Nolan might be the best director in Hollywood right now. He has yet to put out a movie that I haven’t absolutely loved; Memento, Inception, The Prestige and The Dark Knight are just some of his best.
Danny Boyle is another director that I absolutely love. Some of Boyle’s best movies include, but are not limited to, Unleashed (aka “Danny The Dog”) starring Jet Li, 28 Days Later, Trainspotting, and of course, Slumdog Millionaire. His new movie, 127 Hours, stars James Franco and looks awesome.
Another director that must be mentioned in any combination of directors is obviously James Cameron. The man has put out some of the most iconic movies of all time, not to mention the top two highest grossing films of all time, Titanic and Avatar. If you haven’t seen Avatar, you are missing out.
One other director that has to be mentioned on any list of mine is Quentin Tarantino. Where do I even begin? Some of his best movies include Kill Bill: Vol 1, Pulp Fiction, Inglorious Basterds, and Reservoir Dogs.
When it comes down to it, the above five directors are my favorites. Any movie any of these geniuses create I will line up at theaters to see.
