Directors with the Best "Top 3" Movies
Steven Allan Spielberg (born December 18, 1946) is an American director, producer, and screenwriter. He is considered one of the founding pioneers of the New Hollywood era, as well as being viewed as one of the most popular directors and producers in film history. E.T, Saving Private Ryan and Jaws also should be here. But this man has got great movies. More than 3 movies.
Jaws, Raiders of the lost Ark, Jurassic Park
I absolutely adore Shaun of the Dead. One of my all-time favorite comedies. And Hot Fuzz was also really really good. Still have to see the World's End but I expect it to be good too. Edgar Wright is just a genius.
Martin Charles Scorsese (born November 17, 1942) is an American film director, producer, and screenwriter. He is the recipient of many accolades, including an Academy Award, three Primetime Emmy Awards, a Grammy Award, four British Academy Film Awards, three Golden Globe Awards, and two Directors Guild of America Awards. Scorsese has received various honors including the AFI Life Achievement Award... read more I think this man should be #1 because I don't think he's made a single movie that was bad, at least not as far as I know
Yes these are his best movies. But I enjoyed The Departed and Shutter Island more than these movies.
Francis Ford Coppola is an American film director, producer, screenwriter and film composer. He was a central figure in the New Hollywood wave of filmmaking.
Sir Peter Robert Jackson is a New Zealand filmmaker and screenwriter. He is best known as the director, writer and producer of The Lord of the Rings trilogy and The Hobbit trilogy, both of which are adapted from the novels of the same name by J. R. R. Tolkein.

His films have grossed more than US$5 billion worldwide and have garnered 11 Academy Awards from 36 nominations.Born and raised in London, Nolan developed an interest in filmmaking from a young age.

The Dark Knight, Memento, and Inception are so good and so creative. Underrated in my opinion.
The Prestige, Interstellar and The Dark Knight Rises were also good.
Most of his movies are good. This man thinks before making a movie.
Mel Brooks (born Melvin Kaminsky; June 28, 1926) is an American actor, comedian, film producer, director and screenwriter. With a career spanning over 7 decades he is known as a creator of broad film farces and comedic parodies. Brooks began his career as a comic and a writer for Sid Caesar's variety show Your Show of Shows (1950–1954) alongside Woody Allen, Neil Simon and Larry Gelbart. Together... read more

Quentin Jerome Tarantino (born March 27, 1963) is an American filmmaker, actor, film critic and author. His films are characterized by frequent references to popular culture and film history, nonlinear storylines, dark humor, stylized violence, extended dialogue, pervasive use of profanity, cameos and ensemble casts... read more Kinda disagree here. Can't disagree with Pulp Fiction being one of his best movies. But Django Unchained is also very popular. I think its more popular than Kill Bill. Plus Inglourious Basterds also deserves to be here.
Kill Bill sucks and is nowhere near as good as the other two. Maybe Jackie Brown should have taken KB's place instead.
Kill bill is way better than Django unchained and inglorious bastereds. I totally agree with this.
Stanley Kubrick was an American film director, screenwriter, producer, cinematographer, editor, and photographer. He is frequently cited as one of the greatest and most influential directors in cinematic history. He died at the age of 71. Eyes Wide Shut is his second best in my opinion, after ACO. An excellent tale of psychological and philosophical complexity, but maybe it is too European to be considered one of his classics on a worldwide scale. It is based on Arthur Schnitzler's "Traumnovelle", and even though the setting was changed to America of the 90s, it is a very faithful adaption. Schnitzler was the frienemy of Siegmund Freud, and you can easily see his influence in the work.
Still waiting for someone to come along and match his talent.
Full Metal Jacket and Spartacus are also very famous.
Sir Alfred Joseph Hitchcock, was an English-American film director and producer, at times referred to as "The Master of Suspense". In my opinion, Rebecca is his second best movie after Psycho. It may not be a crime movie, but the pressure put on Mrs. de Winter by Ms. Denvers' obsession for Rebecca gets more and more intense throughout the movie until you start feeling claustrophobic. It starts off as a Cinderella story and turns darker and darker each minute.
Psycho's been his best movie no doubt in it. But The Birds and Rebecca are also very famous movies of his.
Heywood "Woody" Allen (born Allan Stewart Konigsberg; November 30, 1935) is an American film director, writer, actor, and comedian whose career spans more than six decades and multiple Academy Award-winning films. He began his career writing material for television in the 1950s, mainly Your Show of Shows (1950–1954) working alongside Mel Brooks, Carl Reiner, Larry Gelbart, and Neil Simon. He also... read more Annie Hall, Play It Again Sam, Hannah and Her Sisters
Annie Hall, Crimes and Misdemeanors, Manhattan
Yes, these are their most famous movies. But Inside Llewyn Davis and True Grit were amazing too. Especially True Grit. Blood Simple and Miller's Crossing were also good.
Robert Lee Zemeckis is an American director, film producer and screenwriter frequently credited as an innovator in visual effects. Can't argue about Forrest Gump and Back To The Future. But tie between Cast Away and Who Framed Roger Rabbit.
James Cameron is a Canadian film director, producer, screenwriter, and deep-sea explorer. He is best known for his films, The Terminator, Aliens, Terminator 2: Judgement Day, Titanic, and Avatar. He is also the third person in history to reach the bottom of the Mariana Trench, the deepest part of the ocean and the only person to do it solo and unassisted.
David Andrew Leo Fincher is an American film director, film producer, television director, television producer, and music video director. This man seems incapable of making a terrible movie (I don't count Alien 3 because Fincher disowned it). I loved Fight Club and Gone Girl.
Gone Girl, Zodiac, The Curious Case of Benjamin Button, The Game are also good.
Blow Out, Body Double, Carlito's Way
