Name the Director

Can't identify the Gene Hackman or Chiwetel Eijefor movies and the bottom shot is too dark to make out faces.

David Mamet?

Bingo

Bump for Gideon

That looks like Joseph Cotten in the top picture, but I don't recognize the movie.

The middle picture is Doris Day, but it's not from one of her musicals. I think it might be from the movie Julie or Julia. (I can't remember the name, but I think Louis Jordan played her husband in the movie.)

I don't recognize the bottom picture.

Andrew L Stone is correct, Claire, your turn

Bottom shot from Gods and Monsters gave it away...Bill Condon? Middle shot has to be from Kinsey.

Candyman: Farewell to the Flesh is the first shot.
