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

3. Luis Buñuel

Number of 100% Rated Movies: 9 While most of the filmmakers discussed so far on this list were masters of a conventional type of cinema - Hawks and the Western, Wilder and the satirical comedy, Kurosawa and the samurai epic - Spanish filmmaker Luis Buñuel earned a reputation for going against genre tropes and exploring the subconscious realms of fantasy. Buñuel was in a sense a forerunner to filmmakers like David Lynch, who both share a sensibility for the surreal and unusual. Indeed, Buñuel was at the forefront of the Surrealist movement at the turn of the twentieth century, his short film collaboration with Salvador Dali Un Chien Andalou to this day one of the most famous silent shorts ever made. More than a few of his subversive critiques of contemporary bourgeois society are also considered masterpieces.
