For each director's list, feature films and shorts 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: Michael Curtiz
