Even largely divisive directors can have some more consensus "good" movies. From Clerks to Boyz N the Hood, these widely acclaimed films are often made at the start of a director’s career and become springing points for more ambitious and controversial projects. Universally praised films may be due to a unique collaboration, studio pressure, or a rare connection with the cultural zeitgeist, but some of these favorite films come from filmmakers who often have more disputed credits. While “divisive” and “good” are the viewer’s sole interpretation, here are movies that are widely accepted as good by filmmakers with more scattered careers.
Bob Clark's 1974 horror film Black Christmas is one of the most influential slasher movies of all time, and it has an unforgettably chilling ending. In Black Christmas Billy is considered the villain as he picks off victims one by one, and after almost 50 years, his identity is still debated. The story takes place in a sorority house, where the residents are throwing a Christmas party before they depart. Little do they know, however, that a perverted killer has made his way into the house, and is preparing to pick them off one by one. The Billy Black Christmas character remains in the shadows for most of the movie, that is, until the chilling ending.
