Directors such as Stanley Kubrick, Martin Scorsese, Steven Spielberg and many others have been noted as outstanding action and film directors. In this article I will talk about Wes Anderson, Martin Scorsese and the ever so infamous Baz Luhrmann. These directors changed the way cinema was and will be viewed from this point on.

Anderson's films are known for their extremely unique style and seemingly bizarre narratives. He graduated from St. John's School in Houston in 1987, where he later used one of the many sets in his film Rushmore. He then went on and graduated from the University of Texas at Austin in 1990, where he met future collaborator Owen Wilson with whom he worked often. Anderson's first film, Bottle Rocket (1996), based on a short film Casalini 2 had made with the Wilson brothers, was a detective adventure centered on a group of young Texans eager to carry out major raids.
