Ethan Coen, David Fincher,Baz Lhurmann and Steven Spielberg, amongst others. But aside from having directed several motion picture classics each amongst these guys also share the not-so-good characteristic of having also made some stinkers.
For the Coen brothers it is the ho-hum Tom Hanks comedy The Ladykillers. And now how about Fincher? Though it’s by no means awful, Alien3 is certainly a negative mark on his record. As for the legendary Spielberg, he has Hook, 1941, and The Lost World: Jurassic Park all tainting his legacy. Yes, even inarguable greatness doesn't mean the occasional slip-up is out of the question. But for those rare cases of spotless excellence, the respective filmmakers’ steadfastness is quite remarkable.
in the history of cinema there have been some directors who never made a bad movie and here are according to us-
1)Quentin Tarantino
Winning streak: Reservoir Dogs (1992), Pulp Fiction (1994), Jackie Brown (1997), Kill Bill: Vol.1 (2003), Kill Bill: Vol. 2 (2004), Grindhouse: Death Proof (2007), Inglourious Basterds (2009),Django Unchained
From Reservoir Dogs' Mr. Blonde (Michael Madsen) to Pulp Fiction's Jules Winnfield (Samuel L. Jackson) and Inglourious Basterds' Col. Hans Landa (Christoph Waltz), Kill Bill's Beatrix Kiddo (Uma Thruman) and Django Unchained's Calvin Candie (Leonardo DiCaprio) , Tarantino's colorful, unpredictable, and combustible characters are scene-stealers which prove that not only he could write but also is phenomenal behind the camera. Scenes like The Bride's black-and-white, one-against-88 throwdown at the end of Kill Bill: Vol. 1, or the four-POV, gruesome car crash in Grindhouse: Death Proof, are exactly why any new Quentin Tarantino's have both celebration and feverish anticipation. As his perfect track record indicates, he has yet to disappoint.
2) Martin Scorsese
Winning streak: Who’s That Knocking at My Door (1968), Boxcar Bertha (1972), Mean Streets (1973), Alice Doesn’t Live Here Anymore (1974), Taxi Driver (1976), New York, New York (1977), Raging Bull (1980), The King of Comedy (1983), After Hours (1985), The Color of Money (1986), The Last Temptation of Christ (1988), Goodfellas (1990), Cape Fear (1991), The Age of Innocence (1993), Casino (1995), Kundun (1997), Bringing Out the Dead (1999), Gangs of New York (2002), The Aviator (2004), The Departed (2006), Shutter Island (2010), Hugo (2011)
Focusing on the man's potential missteps. Of course 2002's uneven, messy, yet powerfully staggering Gangs of New York looks inferior when placed alongside movies like Raging Bull and Taxi Driver, but on its own, free from any unfair comparisons, Gangs of New York is an exhibition of the attention to detail and stirring violence.
3)Christopher Nolan
Winning streak: Following (1998), Memento (2000), Insomnia (2002), Batman Begins (2005), The Prestige (2006), The Dark Knight (2008), Inception (2010), The Dark Knight Rises (2012)
Back when the England-born writer-director first took on the Caped Crusader brand with 2005's Batman Begins, he wasn't the most obvious choice; before then, Nolan's credits included a black-and-white noir flick (Following), a crime thriller told backwards (the spellbinding Memento).
Fortunately, though, the brass at Warner Bros. felt that the great films, like the ones Nolan had already made, met all the criteria they required And today, thanks to Christopher, his brother Jonathan Nolan, and their collaborator David Goyer, the Dark Knight trilogy has legitimized superhero movies for those uptight folks who'd typically frown upon Comic-Con products.
in midist of directing The Dark Knight saga. he also directed the incredibly brain-scrambling dueling magicians sleeper The Prestige and the James Bond by way of Sigmund Freud smash Inception, Nolan brings the same level of intelligence and showmanship to any and all of his projects.
4)Stanley Kubrick
Winning streak: Killer’s Kiss (1955), The Killing (1956), Paths of Glory (1957), Spartacus (1960), Lolita (1962), Dr. Strangelove (1964), 2001: A Space Odyssey (1968), A Clockwork Orange (1971), Barry Lyndon (1975), The Shining (1980), Full Metal Jacket (1987), Eyes Wide Shut (1999)
the best director and editor the industry has ever seen.
Kubrick, a New York City native, blessed the film world with inarguable all-time best movies in each of its biggest fanboy genres. For horror, he drained all optimism out of Stephen King's novel The Shining to concoct one of the creepiest, darkest explorations of supernatural insanity ever put to celluloid; sci-fi heads, for their part, have both the mind-numbingly hypnotic 2001: A Space Odyssey and the dystopian satire A Clockwork Orange by which to swear. Even dark comedy lovers were given a slice of cake by the courtesy of Kubrick, in the form of the sharp, scathing Cold War skewer-fest Dr. Strangelove.
A big reason why Kubrick's movies have maintained such high levels of aptitude is that he notoriously shunned the Hollywood system; it was either his way or, the highway.Kubrick made his pictures outside of the corporate system and with total creative control.
