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.
One of the trailblazers of the so-called "mumblecore" indie film movement, Bujalski delivers consistently good—if not always great—films, even as his work has become slightly more polished and commercial (most notably with his most recent movie, Results). His next feature, Support the Girls, doesn't reach theaters until August, but it already has a handful of terrific reviews from its premiere at SXSW earlier this year and could be the director's best work yet.
