Jacob BoeOkay, some of these suggestions are so stupid. A lot of these movies already had brilliant direction, there is no need to change them. A popular movie that actually would have been better with a different director is The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lio

Glory (1989) appreciation thread
Dan Jo
I like the film however I find Matthew Broderick's acting terrible. Just my opinion.

m844Birdman is the only movie in the last few decades to win the Oscar for Best Picture without an Editing Oscar nomination. However, people excused Birdman by saying it's shot to look like a "one take" movie even though it had several cuts along the way
