Moviemaker's Best Director First Films of All Time

"It's happening at this very moment. Somewhere in the world, a young moviemaker who has struggled, scrimped and saved is now about to direct his or her first full-length film. The results of these first efforts are often disappointing. On rare occasions, though, lightning does strike, the stars are propitiously aligned and a moviemaker's first at-bat is a home run by nearly every standard. First films bear an unpredictable relationship to a moviemaker's work to come, however. Some of the directors on the following list never matched their virgin achievement, and one could easily craft a list of the greatest moviemakers of all time consisting solely of those whose initial efforts were unimpressive. Aspiring moviemakers take heart: this list could go on indefinitely. Consider this an argument-starter, then; one critic's selection of the 20 greatest first films of all time." - moviemaker.com
