You have those that are known for bringing iconic classics such as Indiana Jones and Jurassic Park to life, like Steven Spielberg. Other directors, such a James Cameron, have claim to some of the most profitable films of all-time, such as Avatar and Titanic. And then there are those filmmakers whose talents will be analysed in every film class from now until the end of time, as is done with the likes of Stanley Kubrick.

Now, I know the likes of Spielberg and Kubrick are praised by all for the many masterpieces they have created.
