Director : One film?

Mel Stuart : Willy Wonka & The Chocolate Factory (1971)

 

Not to nitpick but he only directed one film, so there's no other option...

 

Michael Ritchie - Bad News Bears

Alexander Payne - Election

 

Francis Albert Sinatra. “None but the Brave”

 

Whit Stillman: Metropolitan

 

Francis Ford Coppola: The Godfather II
Akira Kurosawa: Seven Samurai
Federico Fellini: La Dolce Vita
Luchino Visconti: The Leopard
Andrei Tarkovsky: Andrei Rublev
Elio Petri: Investigation Of A Citizen Above Suspicion
Stanley Kubrick: A Clockwork Orange
Werner Herzog: Fitzcarraldo
Fritz Lang: M
Alfred Hitchock: Psycho

 

Quentin Tarantino - Pulp Fiction

 

Clint Eastwood - Unforgiven

 

Ed Wood - Plan 9 From Outer Space

 

Tobe Hooper - The Texas Chain Saw Massacre

 

Woody Allen, Radio Days

 

Or Interiors

 

Bride of the Monster is actually pretty good

 

I don’t get it. Are you talking about directors who only made one film or just one film by any director?

 

After seeing the Charles Laughton entry, I interpreted it as directors who made only one movie. Just listing any movie by a director with multiple films doesn't make much sense to me.

 

Ok…

Thomas Haden Church - Rolling Kansas

 

I was going to say Olivia Wilde with Booksmart, a movie I greatly enjoyed--but it looks like she has another one on the way.

 

I guess thats what this is.

 

Dalton Trumbo - Johnny Got His Gun

 

I don't think that's what alexpop had in mind, but what I'm doing still works, right? One film by a director.

 

Or Stardust Memories.

 

Well each one he posted was just A film by A director. So, I guess we go with that, but the other is actually more fun.

 

I'm not going to demand the Gorts force posters to do it my way, if anyone's worried about that!

 

Jean Vigo made only one full-length film: the classic L'Atalante.

(However, he also made three short movies, including the highly regarded Zero for Conduct.)

 

Mike Nichols

The Graduate (1967)
