James Wan - Death Sentence I would have said Furious 7. But Wan mostly directs horror...and Furious 7 was just horrorble. :/ |

Mission: Impossible - Brian De Palma Alice Doesn't Live Here Anymore - Martin Scorsese I don't know how Mission Imposdible fits that for Palma because he does a variety if you ask me. |

OK, a few lesser-known options:
Howard Hawks--Paid for Love (1927)
It's difficult to choose one for a man known for excelling in every genre, but if ever a one he did (hang the grammar or comprehensibility, it sounds poetic), it would be this, a half-baked attempt at imitating Murnau that comes off as imitating Lubitsch! It's fully stylized Germanic expressionism, something that Hawks never attempted again.
John Ford--The Whole Town's Talking (1935)
A very odd film for Ford to make, a gangster parody starring Edward G. Robinson with a script by Capra scribe Robert Riskin. It's certainly light, amusing, and well-paced, even if Ford doesn't quite have the chops for screwball comedy.
(Speaking of Capra, I have on good authority that The Bitter Tea of General Yen ('33) is the most out-of-character film he ever did; I haven't seen it and can't really put it on my list, but it should be mentioned if only parenthetically.)
Ernst Lubitsch--Broken Lullaby ('32)
The great romanticist and raconteur directing a serious war drama? What! It's not a particularly good picture, but it's decent and functions as a fascinating glimpse into what the great man could do without a "Lubitschean" plot.
I'll break off here, though I know there are a number of films I'm missing (e.g., everything Preminger did before Laura, or Sturges's The Great Moment).

Well, y'know, bravomailer, Curtiz actually directed a few westerns: other than The Comancheros, you've got Dodge City, Virginia City, and Santa Fe Trail, all of which star that unlikeliest of cowboys, Errol Flynn! I think Curtiz's talent lay in his ability to tackle every genre with skill: horror ( Doctor X, Mystery of the Wax Museum, The Walking Dead), mystery ( Private Detective 62, The Kennel Murder Case, The Case of the Curious Bride), adventure ( Captain Blood, The Adventures of Robin Hood, The Sea Hawk, The Sea Wolf, The Charge of the Light Brigade) musicals ( Yankee Doodle Dandy, White Christmas), romance ( Casablanca and many others), gangster films ( Angels with Dirty Faces and several others earlier in the '30s), and just about everything else! Though his most enduring film, Casablanca, was '42, Curtiz's heart seemed in the '30s, when he could just turn in a good film from any script and with undeniable talent. |

I knew of Curtiz's other westerns but consider them all to be atypical, especially for someone from Budapest. Dodge City has a scene that of course was reworked into Casablanca.
