The list is the following:
10. Alien³ – David Fincher
9. My Best Friend’s Birthday – Quentin Tarantino
8. A Fistful of Fingers – Edgar Wright
7. Murder à la Mod – Brian De Palma
6. Seizure – Oliver Stone
5. Grand Theft Auto – Ron Howard
4. Praying with Anger – M. Night Shyamalan
3. Caged Heat – Jonathan Demme
2. What’s Up, Tiger Lily? – Woody Allen
1. Piranha Part 2: The Spawning – James Cameron

First impressions are important, but they don’t always tell the whole story, especially when it comes to cinema. Filmmaking is a tough business no matter how talented you are and even though everyone wants a crack at making the next Citizen Kane, if you are just starting out in the industry, chances are you are you going to have to pay your dues before you get there.
Many great directors have had a shaky start in their illustrious career for various reasons. Whether it came down to lack of experience, an endeavor to discover their personal style or simply because they had to make a living, a lot of household names have put their signature on films that they would probably like to erase from their resume and our minds.
To remind us that everyone strikes out sometimes, here are 10 horrible debut films by great directors.
