Although it is just plain fun to rank a director's movies, it may also help me think about the director's oeuvre of work as a whole. Comparisons can help me to discover elements of film that I am drawn to, what the director finds value in revealing through their movies and possibly how the director has grown artistically.
I don't think I have much to write about with Lucas. He has a talent for creating big stories and immersive worlds, but two thirds of his filmography are all based in the same universe. He clearly has a love for science fiction.
Other directors I have ranked:
JJ Abrams | PT Anderson | Wes Anderson | Judd Apatow | Darren Aronofsky…
