His stories are always unique: Edward Scissorhands, Beetlejuice, Sweeney Todd, Corpse bride, Alice in Wonderland and others. All of his movies take you to this magical, weird place, but you can't imagine more perfect world. Perfect director.

One of most brilliant directors in movie history. He creates a movie so intense you watch it very closely, because you know every detail is important. Most of the movies you can't even understand at first place (Inception, The Prestige), but it just makes you watch those movies again and again! Amazing director.

Every movie fan would probably agree with me that this director is one of the greatest movie directors of all time. I could name all his great movies, but it would take alot of time!
10. Robert Zemeckis
Writer | Back to the Future
A whiz-kid with special effects, Robert is from the Spielberg camp of film-making (Steven Spielberg produced many of his films). Usually working with writing partner Bob Gale, Robert's earlier films show he has a talent for zany comedy (Romancing the Stone (1984), 1941 (1979)) and special effect ...
