Michael Apted
Best known for his TV "Up" documentary series, following the life of the same group of subjects who are interviewed every seven years. He was only the assistant director for the seven-year-olds but has been in the chair ever since (14, 21, 28, 35, 42, 49, and 56).

His best film is Coal Miner's Daughter (1980), biopic of Loretta Lynn. If he seems an odd choice of director, he was chosen as having no pre-conceived ideas about hillybillies that an American director might have.

I like 'Blink' (1993) and 'Nell' (1994). I used to have a massive poster of 'Critical Condition' (1987) on my bedroom wall growing up (big Richard Pryor fan but not his finest hour lol).
