10 Legendary Filmmakers With Several Movies Rated 100% On Rotten Tomatoes

8. Howard Hawks

Number of 100% Rated Movies: 7 Howard Hawks is another American director to have emerged from the same studio system as Billy Wilder. And, like Wilder, Howard Hawks was noted for his ability to switch effortlessly from one genre to another with natural ease, and occasionally directing what is arguably the most entertainingly confusing movies of all time, The Big Sleep (which falls a few points short of a 100% rating). One of Hawks's 100% rated movies is currently enjoying a revival - Only Angels Have Wings, the quintessential aviation drama starring Cary Grant and Jean Arthur is presently running at the BFI Southbank. Along with the screwball comedy classic Bringing Up Baby it marked the beginning of a run of classic movies which would last until the 1960s and included some of the best Westerns ever made. Notable 100% Rated Movies: Rio Bravo, Red River, El Dorado
