50 Movies Directed by Actors, Screenwriters, Photographers, Etc

With this Fight Club mural by Connor Harrington (we believe it's found in San Juan, Puerto Rico), we present a list of films from filmmakers who were actors, screenwriters, playwrights, novelists, photographers, stand up comics, singers/rock stars, artists/painters, music video directors (as was David Fincher, who directed "Fight Club") or documentary filmmakers. Let's hope we didn't leave anything out. This marks our 80th list!!! As always, enjoy..!!!
