With the New Year just around the corner, we thought we'd cast our eyes back on those directors who impressed us through the year. The criteria for inclusion in our list are presentation, packaging, audience acceptance and, above all box-office success.
After all, the director may have been critically acclaimed, and given hits in the past, but to be accepted by the trade, it is your last hit that counts. So, some famous names do not figure here because their films did not connect with the target audience.
However, many first time directors are included because their new ideas were welcomed by all.
