Five Good Directors Who Ruined Their Own Careers With Bad Movies

Geek Binge: There’s probably hundreds of terrible movie directors out there. Hundreds of people who had little to know talent in directing, and delivered sub par to horrible films. Hundreds of people who got their shots in Hollywood, but failed simply because they weren’t good enough. In this industry, it happens all the time, and it’s nothing to cry over. They weren’t good at it, and their career suffered accordingly. But what about when good directors run their career into the ground? Most of the time, this is upsetting.

Excellent list. George Lucas still pisses me off by never leaving his Star Wars world. I actually liked Richard Kelly's Darko follow-ups. Southland Tales was him swinging for the fences and The Box was a creepy 70s styled horror flick with interesting twists.

I hope Kelly gets back into the filming world soon.
