Ranker's Best Movies Directed by the Star (Feb2023 Update)

"The best movies directed by the star include some of the greatest films ever made. Many of the films listed here are considered some of the best movies of all time. This list represents some of the finest examples of movies directed by the actor, or actress, who also starred in the film. Have any actors also won Academy Awards for directing a best picture they starred in? Yes, a handful have, and they are undoubtedly among some of the greatest directors in movie history. It can be done, but it's rare that it actually happens. Several Academy Award winners for Best Picture are listed here (7, to be exact), so hats off to the actor/directors who prove without a doubt that they are equally as talented behind, or in front of, the cameras." - ranker.com
