Hmm, see, I couldn't imagine anyone other than Miller directing it. It had to be someone with years of experience.
Newer Movies Made By Old Directors?
Clint Eastwood was born in 1930, and he directed Sully from last year, and American Sniper from 2014. I haven't seen Sully, but it looks great. American Sniper is awesome.

Sully was very disappointing IMO...but American Sniper was first class. Clint Eastwood is still one of my favorite directors who's currently working.

I think Mike Leigh made his worst movie (Mr. Turner) in 2014, but "Another Year" was very good (2010).

...Mr Turner is one of my all time favourite films. Beautifully tactile film with a narrative with plenty of breathing space...

Sully reminds me of Denzel's Flight.
An okay movie revolving around a great plane landing scene.

Well said! Mr Turner was one of my favorites from 2014. It artistically delivers it's message in subtleties. It's not an 'in your face type' movie.
(Mr. Turner is my least favorite of his)

I'm glad you mentioned that, I just now checked out his filmography and he's made a lot of movies that sound like the type I love, so I will be watching some of those. So far the only film of his I've seen is Mr. Turner
-Another Year
-All or Nothing
-Meantime (not the best start, but gets much better)
-Vera Drake

I wish Woody Allen would stop making movies. Sure, he gets a splendid cast (who is going to turn him down FGS), but I find his movies to be a horrible bore now. I don't even put them in my Netflix Q any longer.

Some directors do it very gracefully. Scorsese, in my opinion, has made some of his career best this decade. Spielberg is still consistent, if a bit too safe. I haven't watched a Malick film since To the Wonder, which I liked well enough, and it looks like he's still got it, even it it may seem like his films are better when they're released more sparingly to perfection. Eastwood? Well, he hasn't made a movie this decade that I've liked that I've watched, but some of his later films, like Mystic River, Million Dollar Baby, and Gran Torino are some of my favorites of his.
But, yeah, there are directors who seem like they've lost their touch, for sure. I haven't watched Beatty's Rules Don't Apply yet, for example, but that looked like a snore.

I was just about to type the exact opposite. I enjoy even his "lesser" film. But when he hits the target, he's as good as he's ever been in my opinion. (Blue Jasmine)
