He's most famous for running TWD these days. He has been fired, though.

90% of modern blockbuster directors

Also all the Paul WS Anderson type directors that aren't Paul WS Anderson.

Antoine Fuqua

John McTiernan is much less famous than his movies.

Alex Proyas, sort of.

He's most famous for getting fucked over by the corporate hacks at AMC.

Like half the directors who made the most famous films. Quick, off the top of your head tell me who directed Breakfast at Tiffany's and the Pink Panther movies?

Tony Kaye

Not exactly unknown, but doubtlessly one of the most influential directors of the 80s and 90s, yet gets very little acknowledgement for it.

I unironically love the original Pink Panther movies.

I do too but it's an example of good films where no one remembers who directed them. Everyone knows Pink Panther/ Inspector Clouseau but no one remembers the director.

He deserves all the shit he got.

>no fucker knows who he is despite being probably the most accomplished person from there

>last name is Columbus
>name your kid Chris

The only important dude in those movies was Henry Mancini (the composer) anyway

Dude, what? Every Malick movie is known as a Malick movie before anything else.

blake edwards

i only know this from watching the peter sellers movie with geoffrey rush though. i think john lithgow played him.

All the Harry Potter directors except for Cuaron.

Everybody knows Zemeckis' entire filmography but nobody knows who he is by name, he's always marketed as "the director of"

For the amount of well-known films he's made, he should be a household name
