The 25 Most Perfectly Directed Movies of All Time, Ranked by Collider

"It takes thousands or maybe even tens of thousands of individuals to create a movie, but most lend more weight to actors and directors, with the latter arguably being the most important. These filmmakers can be respected or hated, considering they have the majority of the say in the movie. Directing is what determines if a film will be good or not, and therefore, this profession has created legends." - collider.com
