4. Francis Ford Coppola
With 29 films under his belt and several Academy Awards, Francis Ford Coppola is clearly one of the best directors in Hollywood history. His film The Godfather II was the very first sequel to win a Best Picture Academy Award. An article by Vanity Fair also noted that “It seems fair to say that he is one of the few American film directors who can match Welles both for talent and for showmanship—for sheer cinematic nerve.” His creativity and high quality films, as well as how his actors speak well of him show the type of attitude he has in the set–and proves that indeed, he is among the 10 Easiest Directors to Work with.
