This list defines the careers of the most successful directors, creatively and commercially, who are still working today...

Created by and in the opinion of Stephen H Koontz February 2024
Updated April 2024

Rankings are based on the amount of quality movies/shows (plus any I liked) and ones the general public took to, combined with upcoming movies/shows.

Anyone looking for directors that need to be on here, like David Lynch, please realize he hasn't directed a movie since 2006 and doesn't have any on the docket. But any suggestions are absolutely welcome!
