30 Film Directors Who Have Never Made a Bad Movie
Recently, we looked at 30 filmmakers who made only one well-reviewed movie over their entire careers, and then 25 great directors who missed out on perfection by just one film. But there is an even more elite group of film directors who have received critical acclaim for every single film they ever directed. In other words, they've never received anything but a green Metascore for one of their features.
How many of those directors can you guess? Check them all out in the gallery above. Note that we only looked at directors who have made at least five films since 1980.
The American indie director is only a little over a decade into his career, but it has been all good news so far, even when he detours into period drama (Loving) or science fiction (Midnight Special). He'll actually return to sci-fi for his next film (and big-budget debut), a semi-remake/prequel to 1988's Alien Nation that is still in the writing stage.
The full filmography (as director):
76 Shotgun Stories (2007)
85 Take Shelter (2011)
76 Mud (2012)
76 Midnight Special (2016)
79 Loving (2016)
