After 15 years of making the three separate lists, I've decided to streamline it and only post one list.

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 2023
Image updates July 2023


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!


Enjoy!
