Top 10 Film Directors Who are Terrible People
Pretty much what it says on the tin, beyond how this list isn't limited to whether the filmmakers in question are good or bad at their profession, but rather whether they are terrible as general human beings.
Roman Polanski is a French-Polish film directer, best known for Repulsion (1965), Rosemary's Baby (1968), and Chinatown (1974). His former wife, Sharon Tate, along with their unborn son, was murdered by followers of Charles Manson. Polanski is also a fugitive from the U.S. criminal justice system; he fled the country in 1977 while awaiting sentencing for unlawful intercourse with a minor. Child rapist who has avoided punishment for over 40 years... but the man knows how to direct a good movie. Rosemary's Baby, Chinatown, The Pianist... this man has made many brilliant films.
This man should be HANGED for what he did there is NO excuse for he did to that child whatsoever.
Never knew this about him!
Arrested for manslaughter after killing his fellow passenger (Andrea Zini) was killed during a DUI incident.
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. The way he treated Shelley Duvall on in The Shining was pretty deplorable. Not to mention how he screwed Sidney Lumet over among other things doesn't help his reputation.
Stanley Kubrick is a great director but an awful person.
He just wanted perfection.
Uwe Boll is a German-born Canadian filmmaker and restaurateur, whose work includes several films adapted from video games. He can't take criticism for his garbage movies, in fact I'd like to see him take on an MMA Fighter that talks about his trash movies. Not to mention he has insane fanboys
Tax-dodging pansy who can't take criticism and wanted to fight his critics. What a clown.
He's the Donald Trump of Movies in fact he's also a Trump Supporter.
Whingey politically correct doofus who likes to pull out the race card whenever he can, even if it disregards history (like his moaning over the film Flags Of Our Feathers) and nearly put an innocent family in danger after releasing their home address, thinking it was George Zimmerman. Clint Eastwood was right. This cretin should learn to 'shut his face'.
His movies are awful, don't care for his personality.
Racist, sexist and utterly nasty human being who whinges about how America doesn't do enough to fight their enemies, all the while not being arsed to fight on the frontlines himself. Grant Morrison was right about this stupid clown.
Mel Colmcille Gerard Gibson AO is an American actor and filmmaker. He is best known for his action hero roles, namely his breakout role as Max Rockatansky in the first three films in the Mad Max post-apocalyptic action series, and as Martin Riggs in the Lethal Weapon buddy cop film series. I loved his performances as an actor, and it was very sad to realize he is racist
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. He's been known to be rude to the people he's worked with on his films.
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. Beyond ruining modern cinema and letting his ego ruin many of his films, he is also an unstomachable person too. His pompous and arsey behaviour in his interviews makes him extremely unlikable, while his political views are those of a deranged millionaire moron. His claim that cops are killers at a Black Lives Matter event left a sour taste in the mouth, since most cops aren't so and are paid a pittance of what this guy makes to protect all the millions he has.
Tarantino can be pretty pompous, but by golly is he far from a terrible person. And ruining modern cinema? Since when?
Sir Alfred Joseph Hitchcock, was an English-American film director and producer, at times referred to as "The Master of Suspense". Don't forget this guy. He told the actress from "Tye Birds" that he would use mechanical birds, and eventually attacked her with real birds. Also user, Tarantino didn't ruin modern cinema and is actually a chill guy
This little botch is such a great director why did he have to be such a creep

Nobody's mentioned him yet? Seriously?

Come on, Weinstein should be a lot higher on this list.
Bit of a stretch calling him a director but he is great at writing fiction.

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. What wrong did he ever do?
I don't think so
He literally wanted to take down I Hate Everything's channel because of his so called "movie" Cool Cat saves the Kids.
Thomas Wiseau is a European-American actor and filmmaker. He wrote, produced, directed, and starred in the 2003 film The Room, which has been described by many critics as one of the worst movies ever made and has gained cult film status. What's wrong with our god, Tommy Wiseau?
