Top 50 Movies by a First-Time Director Since 2010 According to Stacker

Every year in cinema highlights up-and-coming film directors who share their visions with the world, whether through independent projects at events like the Sundance Film Festival or large wide-release blockbusters. Hollywood is always hungry for new talent, and the debut feature films from newer directors put them on the map to be snatched up or courted for larger productions. With this in mind, Stacker surveyed the best movies of the past decade (2010–2019) on IMDb. The minimum vote threshold is 3,000, and these top 50 directorial debuts are ranked according to IMDb user scores. Ties were broken by votes. Bollywood films were not considered, nor were Pixar films with first-time co-directors.
