13 Most Diverse Directors In Movie History

5. Martin Scorsese

Martin Scorsese is considered by many to be the world's best-living filmmaker, and he's sure as hell got the filmography to back it up, with his only critically rotten film to date being his second feature film, 1972's Boxcar Bertha.

Over half a century, Scorsese has made his mark on just about every genre going, sinking his teeth into dramedy (Alice Doesn't Live Here Anymore), crime (Mean Streets, Taxi Driver, Goodfellas, Casino, The Departed, The Wolf of Wall Street), a musical (New York, New York), sports (Raging Bull, The Colour of Money), dark comedy (The King of Comedy, After Hours), a concert film (The Last Waltz, Shine a Light), documentaries (George Harrison: Living in the Material World), a biblical epic (The Last Temptation of Christ), thrillers (Cape Fear, Shutter Island), period drama (The Age of Innocence, Silence), a biopic (The Aviator), and even a family fantasy (Hugo).

Scorsese hasn't touched sci-fi yet, a genre that seems to make many veteran filmmakers either apathetic or nervous, but he's still got time.
