15 Great Films Based on the Lives of Their Directors

"Stacker researched films that were autobiographical for their directors and highlighted 15 with at least a 7.0 on IMDb or a 75 on Metacritic. To qualify, the film had to be largely based on the respective director's real-life experience. Some of the movies on this list went on to receive awards attention while others—despite critical acclaim—were completely ignored by the Academy but are still beloved by cinephiles today. Read on to discover some of the best movies to depict the lives of the filmmakers working behind the camera."
