First, the old Hollywood bunch. Many of these used to be called the "New Hollywood" bunch in the 80's. These are directors who have proven themselves to be masters of cinema and have still remained relevant and a vital part of the film industry regardless of some ups and downs. I have left out the master directors who have passed on... leaving their legacy of greatness behind them. Second, will be the currently "en vogue" directors with a strong track record (at least three good movies) or directors who at least have made a strong performance as a director when they are not practicing their other chosen disciplines apart from directing features (such as J. J. Abrams, who does a lot of Producing and TV directing). So, when they direct films it may be somewhat sporadic but it is usually quite successful. But keep in mind, they are no newbie to the film industry. And third, I will list the fresh new directorial arrivals to the film industry. They may be game changers or directors who appear to have potential even though they only have one or two good films under their belt. So, without further adieu...
