We all know the legends, but what about those who are just another name in the opening credits? Everyone is familiar with Hitchcock, Kubrick, Spielberg, Scorsese, Tarantino, Kurosawa, Coppola, et al. - directors so-often name-dropped in conversations, books and online that singing their praises is almost a cliché. Just try to find a single Greatest (insert topic here) Of All Time list without seeing their names popping up over and over. But not every great film was made by a great director, nor has every equally-talented director been behind the camera of an acknowledged classic. Sometimes the stars align and a hired gun is fortunate enough to briefly be part of movie history and allowed to shine (Hollywoods equivalent of a One Hit Wonder). Other times a director has proven to be a reliable talent time and time again, responsible for numerous solid films, but remains fairly anonymous because he or she doesnt demonstrate a particularly identifiable style which critics and cinephiles embrace. Then there are some who put their own indelible stamp on a film thats unappreciated by critics and movie snobs, either because he or she chooses to direct concept-driven entertainment for the masses, or said-style offends their sensibilities. This is a list of ten unsung directors, some whose names you may know, most you likely dont. Never mentioned among the greats, all of them have had a mostly-anonymous impact on Hollywood in some way. It would be a shame if we never acknowledged them
