Introduction

Hollywood has to its credit bringing into light and giving the movie buffs some remarkable directors. These movie directors fall into different categories based on the genre of movies they make. My favorite director is Guillermo Del Toro who has to his credit films that are best known for their vision such as The Devil's Backbone, Pan's Labyrinth. In addition, he has also made a name for himself as a director of action films such as Hellboy and Blade II (Gilsdorf, 2011).
