Top 10 Action Film Directors



Action films are often big blockbuster summer movies that require a lot of money, time and people to create. One person is in charge of everything, the director. He must take charge and make sure things go smoothly. These ten men do it best.

10. Clint Eastwood
He can direct anything but when he goes for the action he really knows what he’s doing. His films are honest and realistic. He doesn’t take an easy way out with special effects. It’s all acting and camera directions.

9. James Cameron
He may be best known for Titanic but he also made Aliens, Terminator and True Lies.

8. Gore Verbinski
The Pirates of the Caribbean was an amazing franchise, can’t wait to see what Gore will bring us next.

7. Oliver Stone
He’s known for his gritty realism and dark sense of style and those are the qualities we love in his films.

6. Michael Bay
Big explosions, lots of car chases, slowed down sequences, all these things make up a blockbuster Michael Bay picture.

5. Peter Jackson
He brought us the epic battle scenes in the Lord of the Rings trilogy – what more can you ask for,

4. Michael Mann
Smart action. His movies have brains and don’t have to always rely on big explosions and special effects.

3. Sam Raimi
He brought Spider-man to the screen three times and managed to surprise us with all his special effects concepts and stunts.

2. George Lucas
The creator of Star Wars. Who else would have thought of this and managed to make it a reality,

1. John Woo
He’s responsible for Mission Impossible and Hostage but what makes this guy great is how he can make an action film into an extremely marketable movie and get everyone to the box office.
