The idea that A list directors are just working with what they are given is insane. They pick what they are going to direct and half the time they are involved in writing it.

Guys at the top of the game are making the movies they want to make. And these are the guys being discussed here. No one here is discussing Gary Ross(Hunger Games) or even a guy like Sam Mendes who has some great movies on his resume(American Beauty, Road to Perdition, Away We Go). Every director being discussed here is a guy who makes what he wants to make.
