My Top 10 Favorite Directorial Debuts of All-Time

        We all have our own favorite films and we mostly only recognize/criticize the actors on screen. But in reality the main person to blame or congratulate on a movie being bad/good is the director. A directors job is to see that everything done behind or in front of the camera is perfect. Some of the greatest directors of all-time had a to start with one singular film that could make or break their careers. With that being said I'm going to bring you my top 10 favorite directorial debuts of all-time. So without further ado...
