Christopher Nolan and Peter Jackson I don't agree with at all. Even if you do not like Nolan's Batman movies, The Prestige is a fantastic film and with Inception a bit boring sometimes is still pretty cool. Peter Jackson his LOTR movies are amazing along with King Kong so I don't know why he's there but its your list and your opinion so I'll let ya be.


I usually give directors a chance but here is my list....small list though.

Spike Lee:
I like one of his movies (Inside Man) but I personally think his a bias peace of crap.

Judd Apatow:
Outside of 40 Year Old Virgin his movies suck.

Tyler Perry:
Please go away, PLEASE!!!

Uwe Boll:
You can't have a Worst Directors list without him on it.

I think I've only watched one of Spike Lee's movies (He Got Game, which was entertaining). I don't avoid him because he is a racist, plenty of directors I don't agree with on their personal lives I'm sure. I just simply haven't had any interest to watch most of the movies he has worked on.

Roman Polanski


Anyways, this is my list, what is yours?

There's no way you're a troll because it's so true that 'The Pianist' is sooo terrible.
Whenever I think about severe decline in movie quality in Hollywood, I immediately think of 'The Pianist'.

i almost fell for it, good joke.

Even if this list was your "worst directors" opinion, these should be on a completely separate, even WORSE, list - at least the others you've listed make brilliant films. You shouldn't even type most of those director's names and Uwe Boll's in the same sentence because it gives him more credit than he deserves.

I don't think I've seen enough movies of the directors I dislike, plus some of the directors I dislike are directors that others love so I don't think dropping their names is going to do anything helpful. :/

Quotes like this from Spike Lee:

“I seriously wanted to pick up a gun and shoot whites. The only way to resolve matters is by bloodshed.”


Which just scratches the surface.
