Frank Capra (It Happened One Night. Mr. Deeds Goes to Town. Lost Horizon. You Can't Take It With You. Mr. Smith Goes to Washington. And those were just some of his '30's films!)
Victor Fleming (reportedly a hard-nosed, bigoted so-and-so, but the main director of The Wizard of Oz and GWTW)
George Stevens (for Swing Time and Gunga Din--what a juxtaposition!)
Michael Curtiz (for The Adventures of Robin Hood and Four Daughters -- another odd pairing)
Alfred Hitchcock (he's probably better known from the '40's on, but I love some of his earlier work--e.g., The 39 Steps and The Lady Vanishes)

Here are some more favorites: Lloyd Bacon -- 42nd Street and Footlight Parade. Sure--as IMDb points out--his work was overshadowed by Busby Berkeley's dazzling-though-kitschy choreography, but if BB hadn't had LB's strong foundation, those movies would have ended up like beautifully furnished chicken coops. W.S. Van Dyke -- the Thin Man series and some others I did not expect, such as many of Jeannette MacDonald's films, plus much uncredited work, such as "re-shoots" for The Prisoner of Zenda (1937). William Wellman -- Beau Geste (1939) I know he directed many other fine films, e.g., A Star Is Born (1937), but BG is the only one I've seen.  |

Hitchcock Capra Curtiz Lang Wyler Whale Hathaway DeMille Wellman Preston Sturges misses out the thread requirement by 6 months, just for the record, he would otherwise be right in the top 5  |
