10 Great Directors Who Keep Making Terrible Movies

Much like Dario Argento, actor/director Rob Reiner had one of the most impressive directorial streaks in film making history.

Unlike Argento though, there isn't one genre this film maker failed to impress in. Never one to rest on his laurels, Reiner followed up the instant classic nostalgic coming-of-age tale Stand By Me with the peerlessly romantic, hilarious rom com When Harry Met Sally. As if that weren't enough, he only went and threw in the classic teen comedy The Sure Thing during the same decade.

And that's not even mentioning his best loved film of the eighties, a little comic fantasy called The Princess Bride. Oh, and did we mention his foray into horror? Because the Oscar winner Misery is pretty well remembered too.

Which makes it all the sadder that this once-legendary director can’t stop letting down audiences with his last decade of so-so efforts.

It's not just the lifeless biopic LBJ, which made one of America's most interesting presidents and one of Hollywood's most interesting actors boring. It's also Shock and Awe, a would-be Spotlight knock-off which dramatically uncovers Bush's lies about WMDs only about a decade and half too late to be interesting or, god forbid, actually daring.
