Reservoir Dogs (1992) is a great example of direction in a film. The whole film hinges on the acting and drama between a group of robbers after a heist on a jewellery store. The premise mandates excellent communication between the director and the actors, and this was achieved in spades. The direction created the desired effect and made for an enjoyable movie

An inspirational practitioner of directing is Quentin Tarantino who directed movies such as Inglorious Basterds (2009), Kill Bill Vol 1 (2003), Pulp Fiction (1994) and Django Unchained (2012). His style of direction tends to be focused on the use of violence and conflict, however he still manages to attract a broad audience and the consistently high ratings proves this. He demonstrates that he can direct with finesse and quality.
