Directors who made only one five-star movie
 

I've seen lots of Robert Rodriguez movies, but the only one that I'd give a five star to (or a 100/100 for that matter) is Sin CIty.

What are these movies by these directors?

M. Night Shyamalan - The Sixth Sense
Christopher Nolan - Memento
Frank Darabont - The Shawshank Redemption

The Texas Chainsaw Massacre and Unforgiven, I assume. I'm not familiar with Doris Wishman though.

You would assume it's Deadly Weapons. But it's not!


Doris Wishman proves she a more than capable filmmaker without the assets of Chesty Morgan to finally make her true masterpiece: A Night to Dismember.

Branko Marjanović, his debut was a satire which got him in trouble with the censors at the time, which is a shame because Ciguli Miguli was pure gold

Admittedly, its low ratings around the internet don't pique my interests much, but idk, I may check it out since it's pretty short.

Believe it or not, the first director who popped into my head regarding this subject was Robert Stevenson, whose one five-star movie was:

Karl Freund (Mad Love)

William Wyler (Ben-Hur)
Stanley Kubrick (2001)

Robert Zemeckis (Forrest Gump)
Sam Mendes (American Beauty)
Richard Linklater (Boyhood)

Y.K. Kim.

But seriously (well, not really), Charles Laughton, which is an easy answer because he also only made one movie (The Night of the Hunter). For directors with more than one, Christopher Nolan. He still hasn't topped Memento.

"Buffalo '66" - Vincent Gallo

Only approach if you want to witness the end of all cinema.

I prefer Brown Bunny. But I wouldn't give either a five, personally.

I would agree that American Beauty is Sam Mendes' only 5-star movie, but I don't think Forrest Gump or Boyhood are five star movies...the closest thing Zemeckis has done to a 5 star movie is Who Framed Roger Rabbit and I can't think of anything Linklater has done that's close to five stars. JMO.

You really think Ben-Hur is Wyler's only five star movie?
