Top 10s of Director Filmographies

Updated: May 21


For each director's list, feature films, shorts, and TV movies will be included. To avoid excessively skewing any judgment of the cinematic works, the actual star ratings I've awarded each title will not be provided. However, there will be two asterisks included after the release year to signify that the work has received my highest star rating: 4 stars. As directors "graduate" to a higher tier increment, they will be moved to the corresponding director page and their rankings will be re-evaluated.


Highest rated Top 10s director: Michelangelo Antonioni
