Paul Thomas Anderson - The Master and Inherent Vice.
The Master has some good performances but only states the obvious about religious cults.
Inherent Vice was a total mess.

The only thing i can come with is. I never had a problem with paul feig or anything he's done. Until he went and made one film, in 2016.

Quentin Tarantino with Death Proof. A rare stumble in an otherwise very good career. He quickly bounced back with Inglourious Basterds.

I liked all of M. Night Shyamalan's early work and I even liked The Village. But man, did he go on a downward spiral and I thought Split was a return to form. Then Glass happened.

Most directors recover from a bad/mediocre movie or two, so I am having a difficult time coming up with examples that aren't M. Night Shyamalan. He is the best example, because he went into a downward spiral very quickly and I was very surprised that he still had a movie like "Split" in him.
I would say Tarantino with Kill Bill, but he then immediately fixed that with the sequel and every movie he has made after that. At the time I was very worried about Tarantino's future as a director though. I hated Kill Bill: Vol. 1 the first time I saw it, because it was so far removed from his previous movies that I was completely off-put by it. I like it more now than I did at the time though. I don't hate it anymore, but I don't like it either.

I like Lady In the Water. I know, I know, but I think it is a fun movie with fantastic atmosphere, an interesting lead character and I love the motel setting and the score is good too. It is also unlike any movie I have seen before or since that I can recall. The movie is a dark comedy fantasy film the way I see it and is very aware of itself. I think he was trolling his critics with that movie. The Happening on the other hand is a completely uninteresting bore and he was clearly grasping at straws by that point. Split seems to be a fluke. We'll see how "Old" turns out.

It's M. Night. Forever trying to one up himself over & again. The Sixth Sense was an Oscars darling.  |

Tim Burton was great until his Planet of the Apes reboot came along. He's really struggled since then.

Spike Lee until the mid-1990's when he started making stupid movies like "Summer of Sam". His all time worst movie is "Oldboy". Occasionally he make a decent film like "BlacKKKlansman" but most of his films remain mediocre. I don't get all the praise for "Da 5 Bloods". It was merely okay. Overlong, as Lee's films typically are.

I used to like David Fincher until he made The Curious Case Of Benjamin Button.

Overlong, as Lee's films typically are. I made a thread about "comeback" movies from directors and Blackkklansman is a good example. He hadn't made a good movie before that since 25th Hour. Besides Girl 6, he has a good run from 1989 - 2002.

James Cameron - Avatar
QT - Once Upon a Time in Hollywood
George Lucas - The Phantom Menace
Like moviemouth said, most directors bounce back from a weak movie (Fincher and Benjamin Button is a good example). I'm holding out hope for QT, but Lucas and Cameron seem like lost causes.
