Elia Kazan - A Streetcar Named Desire (Characters living in the past), Gentleman's Agreement (Antisemitism), East of Eden (fractured family structure)
Sidney Lumet - 12 Angry Men, corruption in sociopolitical and media world (Serpico, Prince of the City, Network)
Martin Scorsese - Raging Bull, Goodfellas, The Wolf of Wall Street. His films highlight the violence and greed of human nature and the effect it has on people when it all implodes on them.
Steve Spielberg - His films are usually more optimistic of human nature with usually the leading character standing up to a terror plaguing the land (Jaws, Schindler's List, Lincoln, the Indiana Jones films). He regularly touches on fractured parent-child relationships (Catch Me if You Can, A.I. Artificial Intelligence).
Michelangelo Antonioni - Characters live in isolation or in an illusion (Blow-Up)
