55 Best Movie Directors of All Time and Their Greatest Films

Brent Dunham

on November 8, 2020

The best movie directors of all time — the idea of such a list sparks immediate debate. Rather than try to impose any sort of definitive or objective best directors list, consider this more of a celebration of the entire medium. Woefully underrepresented on this list are women. While women have been an integral part of the film industry since the beginning, the opportunity to direct was rarely given to them. That means that any list that covers the entirety of film history will be unfortunately one-sided. Thankfully, women have been making great strides in reversing this over the years and we’ve seen some truly masterful and inspiring work from the best female directors working today. We look forward to adjusting this list to include these filmmakers in the years to come.

She began as a child actress in the '30s before co-founding an independent production company where you wrote, directed and produced her own films. Needless to say, this was basically unheard of in 1950s Hollywood.Her films tackled taboo subjects and The Hitch-Hiker is regarded as one of the best Film Noirs of all time. She ended her decades-long career directing nearly 70 episodes of TV for shows including The Twilight Zone, The Fugitive, and Gilligan's Island.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Title given to the senior management staff of a large organization

The examples and perspective in this article deal primarily with the United States and do not represent a worldwide view of the subject. You may improve this article, discuss the issue on the talk page, or create a new article, as appropriate. (June 2020) (Learn how and when to remove this template message)

Intel Board of Directors, 2012

The term director is a title given to the senior management staff of businesses and other large organizations.

The term is in common use with two distinct meanings, the choice of which is influenced by the size and global reach of the organization and the historical and geographic context. Further to this, the term is also used in reference to various technical (legal) definitions specific to corporate governance legislation in individual countries.

Thus, a director can be any of:

A person appointed to act as the most senior manager of the company itself (managing director) or of a key function (finance director, operations director, etc.), in which case the title is analogous to and replaces the "C-Suite" titles, this might be considered as the British English meaning of the word.

A person from a group of managers who leads or supervises a particular area of a company,[1] which might be considered to be the American English meaning of the word.

A person holding a "directorship" in a legal sense, who has specific legal duties and responsibilities for management of the company which they have been appointed to the board of.

Within companies that use this term in the latter (American English) sense it would be normal to have directors spread throughout different business functions or roles (e.g. director of human resources).[2] In such a case, the director usually reports directly to a vice president or to the CEO directly in order to let them know the progress of the organization. Large organizations may also have "assistant" or "deputy" directors. In this context, Director commonly refers to the lowest level of executive in an organization, but many large companies use the title of associate director more frequently.

When used by a firm which uses the title director in the British English sense, being termed as an "executive director" would generally imply that the holder is appointed to the board of directors in a legal sense, and holds significant responsibility and/or a financial stake in the business. By contrast in the American English context "executive director" is roughly equivalent to vice president or senior director in some businesses.

Such companies may also have "regional" and/or "area directors", with regional director titles tending to be used by companies that are organized by location and have their departments under that, indicating near total responsibility for the operations for their particular country.

Corporate titles[edit]

Main article: Corporate title

Corporate titles (commonly known as business titles) are titles given to individuals within a business depending on the role they have and which also portray the duties and responsibilities within that specific role. The larger the business, the more titles that are present, such as CEO, COO and executive directors.

People with higher roles within a company are often referred to as "chief" and those who have lower roles within the company are employees who carry out day-to-day tasks. There are many titles within a company such as executive director, managing director, company director and chairman.

The corporate structure consists of four key areas:

Board of directors- oversees a department and maintains full operational responsibilities area is next to the C-level executives in the corporate jobs hierarchy. They oversee daily tasks of the business or the company.

Employees- This role is ranked at the bottom of the structure. Employees work on daily tasks and objectives either in a group or individually aiming for that common goal.[3]

Structuring a board of directors[edit]

Depending upon the size of an organization or a company, the number of directors can vary. Start-up companies can have a single director, which is the minimum for a private limited company according to the law. However, as organizations and businesses expand, the number of directors can increase because more tasks and responsibilities become present. For example, if the company expands and has more than one department, such as finance, sales, marketing, production and IT, then the business may form a board of directors, with each director overseeing a department and maintaining full responsibility within that department.

A board of directors ensures that a clearly outlined structure is in place which will help the business to work much more efficiently.

Larger businesses and organizations will form a clear board structure as the following:

Chairman - This particular role within the company is often a non executive role that also has the task of overseeing the entire business or organization.

Managing Director (MD)[4] - A managing director is employed by the business, often by the chairman. Other roles include running the business and producing salaries. The managing director works along with the board of directors and oversees the performance of the business, thus reporting back to the chairman.

Executive Directors - A group of executive directors who each play a significant role within the company. They maintain full responsibility over their respective departments such as Finance, Marketing and Sales. Each director manages their department ensuring that tasks and objectives are being met. Executive directors also sit on the board.

Non-executive directors - These advise the business by proposing different forms of strategy and also decide remuneration of the executive directors.

Having a clear structure within the business has a positive impact on the employees and it also helps to organize the business. By having a team of executive directors, employees can report to their executive directors if a problem or an issue occurs.[5]

Managing director[edit]

Main article: Chief executive officer

A managing director oversees the performance of the company as a whole and then has the duty to report back to the chairman or board of directors. The chairman or board of directors may set daily and weekly targets, which should be met by the employees that are working within their respective departments. The managing director also has the role to report their progress so the board can evaluate it to see if targets have been achieved.[6]

Roles include[edit]

Maintaining the overall performance of the company and in particular the departments within.

Producing and planning strategic operating plans and objectives for the long-term future. Also ensuring all short term targets have been achieved.

Keeping in regular contact with the board of directors or chairman and to maintain a positive relationship.

Executive director[edit]

Main article: Executive director

An executive director within a company or an organization is usually from the board of directors and oversees a specific department within the organization such as Marketing, Finance, Production and IT. The Executive Director must ensure that all employees within his/her department are achieving the objectives which have been set and must also make daily decisions within the department.[7]

Roles include[edit]

Overseeing their specific department such as Finance, Marketing or Manufacturing.

Maintaining the role of a specified decision maker within the department.

Analyzing and evaluating the efficiency of day to day tasks within the departments and ensuring all objectives are being met.[8][9]

Company director[edit]

Main article: Board of directors

This section may be confusing or unclear to readers. Please help clarify the section. There might be a discussion about this on the talk page. (October 2018) (Learn how and when to remove this template message)

A company director is one of the employees within a group of managers who maintains a prolific role within an organization and usually has the higher role within an organization. This is mainly because they decide on how to control the business and also make the final and key decisions.[10]

Roles include[edit]

The company director(s) is mainly responsible for:

Ensuring the company's strategic objectives and plans which have been set are being met.

Analyzing and monitoring the progress of its employees towards achieving the objectives and targets set.

Appointing or hiring senior managers for certain departments such as Finance and Marketing.[11][12]

Finance director[edit]

Main article: Chief financial officer

A finance director oversees and maintains full responsibility of the business's finance department. He/she is also responsible in ensuring that the chief executive and the board receive the flow of the financial information. Other responsibilities include producing annual accounts, maintaining control of complete transactions, setting out financial targets and budgets for the business and also managing the companies policies. The finance director may also report to the managing director.[13]

Knowing precisely what a director does in every stage of a production’s life cycle is vital to your success in the industry. A director’s job description involves participation in nearly every phase of a project. Because their vision largely impacts the final product, directors work closely with department heads and technicians to bring it to fruition. The duties of a film director are many, but don’t worry: We’ll lay it all out here. So, what does a director do? Let’s break it down.

Film director definitionA film director wears many hatsWhat is a director's job in a film? Understanding the day-to-day tasks of a film director requires more than a brief definition. And of course, their tasks are altered a bit if they are working in theatre or TV (on a series, many major decisions that inform theme and style are already in place). For a complete guide to the major roles in film production, check out our ultimate guide to film crew positions.So here, we'll focus primarily on a film director definition.FILM DIRECTOR JOB DESCRIPTIONWhat does a film director do?A film director manages the creative aspects of the production. They direct the making of a film by visualizing the script while guiding the actors and technical crew to capture the vision for the screen. They control the film’s dramatic and artistic aspects.WHAT DOES A DIRECTOR DO FROM START TO FINISH?Interpret scriptsSet the tone of filmWork with department headsWork with casting directors to find talentDirect actors and the cameraWork with editors to assemble the filmWork with sound and music departmentsNow that we've outlined a basic film director job description, let’s hear from an iconic filmmaker on how he implements his vision. In an episode of StudioBinder's Director's Chair series, which reveals influential auteurs' tricks of the trade, Quentin Tarantino discusses his particular approach as a film director.

Tarantino has his own version of a film director job description • Subscribe on YouTubeAlthough the film director is involved in all stages of filmmaking, sometimes their role in each of those stages can be misconstrued.The development stage, for instance, is often confused with the pre-production stage. Typically, development is taken care of by the writers and producers, and directors enter the picture in pre-production.This isn't always true (especially when the director also happens to have written the script). The director usually makes comments, tweaks, or changes to the script during development. Still, it’s really in pre-production where the film director plays a major role.

1 Pre-Production

WHAT DOES A DIRECTOR DO IN PRE-PRODUCTION?Approach pre-production practicallyRemember: A director's effectiveness in implementing their vision during pre-production boils down to budgeting and script breakdowns as much as it does artistic intent. You can see how this plays out in our Making It series, which follows filmmaker SC Lannom throughout pre-production as he makes the proof of concept for his TV series, Mental Mistakes.In the first episode, Lannom identifies every essential production element in his script. What does a producer do to aid the director at this stage? In this case, producer Herman Wilkins creates a budget within the production parameters that have been set:

StudioBinder's Making It series breaks it down • Subscribe on YouTubeWHAT is a director's role in PRE-PRODUCTION?Making changes to the scriptWhether they've written the screenplay or not, the director will want to wade through the entire draft during pre-production to gauge how much of it will need rewrites or revisions. We put a script into StudioBinder's screenwriting software so you can see what the interplay between director and writer might look like. Note how the filmmakers of the project below exchange comments on plot ideas: What is a director's approach to story? No script is ever "finished" a director's pre-production tasksWorking with department headsA film's tone should be thoroughly considered and discussed before the first shot is taken. The film director has the final say on this and it’s up to them to execute it. How? By communicating with every department head, from cinematographer to the production designer. The entire crew must be on the same page to be able to execute their vision.Episode Two of Making It navigates the nitty gritty of hiring department heads. Watch how Lannom and Wilkins hone in on crew members ideally suited for their project.

What do directors do to find the right department heads?How a film director plans a shootStoryboarding and shot listingStoryboards and shot lists help to plot out your vision beat by beat. To communicate the desired look and feel to the cinematographer and production designer, the director will probably want to share their storyboards. That way, the department heads can make changes or leave comments in real time.Take this storyboard from Mental Mistakes, for example, which we've uploaded to StudioBinder's storyboarding software. Each panel includes information on camera shot framing, camera angles, and camera movement that the cinematographer can use to plan shots well in advance. Click below to see the entire storyboard.Click to view the storyboardPlanning to create boards of your own? You'll need to know the fundamentals first. A good place to start: Consult a step-by-step breakdown of how to create storyboards.If you're working with a small budget, like the crew of Mental Mistakes, you won't be able to pay a location scout. That's where shot lists are especially helpful: They'll help the director and producer conduct the scouting process themselves. Watch the third episode of Making It to see how well-planned shot lists allowed Lannom and Wilkins to pin down perfect indoor locations:

The film director definition varies between projects • Subscribe on YouTubewhat is a director's approach to casting?Auditioning and casting actorsTo cast actors that best suit the characters in the script, the director and producer will hone in on some "selects" — the standouts among those who answer their initial casting call. From there, auditions can begin. Follow Mental Mistakes' casting process to learn the key ingredients of a successful audition.

What is a director's job in film casting • Subscribe on YouTubeAs Wilkins notes in the video, the director should go into auditions with sides — a few pages of the script that showcase the characters' defining traits. When creating script sides for your characters, they'll look something like this:

How to create Script Sides in StudioBinderEventually, some auditioning actors will nail their readings of the sides provided to them. Once the director gives the final say on who is best for each role, casting is complete.WHAT DO DIRECTORS DO IN PRE-PRODUCTION?Gearing up for the shootIn the final stretch of pre-production, the director and producer will need to make sure that the production is insured, work with the cinematographer to procure filming equipment, and work with the 1st AD to create a shooting schedule.Each crew member shares responsibility for getting these things done. But as Lannom stresses in the Making It episode below, the film director will ultimately take the blame if anything goes wrong:

Gearing up for production • Subscribe on YouTubeAfter checking these things off the pre-production list, the cast and crew will at last be prepared for production. In the next section, we'll look at the director's role during production — which is actually fairly straight-forward now that all the prep is complete.

What do directors do on set?Directing actors and the cameraThis is perhaps the most subjective and creative part any film director job description. It’s up to the director to discover how the actors like to work and adjust accordingly to bring out the best performance.Extra tips and techniques can be found in our free Filmmaking Techniques video masterclass. Staging the camera in a scene is equally critical, so we provided another free masterclass on blocking actors below.

3post-Production

What does a director do in post?Working with editorsIn post-production, the director may provide notes to editors and is often an active participant in this process. They also work with the editor to produce a director’s cut. The director also has to consult with the producer before final cut is complete.The match cut is just one of many editing techniques and something that is usually planned ahead of time but can also be "found" in the edit. Here's a rundown of how match cuts work and how they can enhance your storytelling.

The Power of the Match Cut • Subscribe on YouTubeThere are many ways to approach film editing and this process will often take weeks or months to complete. At this point, decisions need to be made — whether to obey or break the rules of continuity editing, which of the many editing transitions to use, and how to control pacing and rhythm in the edit.what is a director's role in sound design?Working with the sound departmentOnce the final edit of the film is locked, the project moves to sound design. Sound design is created and mixed with the film director sitting in on the sessions and providing feedback.Don't underestimate the power of sound in filmmaking — storytelling on the soundtrack is just as important as it is in the image. Here's a look at how Tarantino uses sound to balance and inform violence.

The Sounds of Violence • Subscribe on YouTubeBlending both diegetic sound with non-diegetic sound, adding sound effects, this is all a major effort to create the overall illusion for the audience. For more, here's a breakdown of the difference between sound mixing vs. sound editing.how a director finishes a productionWorking with composersDirectors also work with the composer to incorporate an original score or soundtrack into the final cut.While the scoring process can be complex, the director's process of choosing a soundtrack is straightforward. The best movie soundtracks use an insertion of popular music to affect a scene is what's known as a "needle drop."Our video essay on this technique includes examples of how it's used in iconic cinema and we also have a list of the best needle drops ever.
