"Guillermo Del Toro is one of the last few remnants of a dying breed in Hollywood.
He's a populist director of immense personality and with a very distinct personal style, who primarily makes expensive commercial movies but is still able to imbue such projects with his unique touch. GDT is a filmmaker in the tradition of Spielberg, Carpenter and many others; people who attain both commercial success and critical respect on the strength of their craft and technical mastery.
For many people, it is through the work of such pop auteurs that the passion for cinema is first ignited – so while it is sad that there are so few of them left, at least it makes us appreciate more the ones that are able to do it.
With that in mind, let's celebrate the career of one of our greatest populist masters, with a ranking of all of Del Toro's films so far."
