A film may carry its stars' names on the poster, but it owes its character to a single person: the director. They decide how a story is told, which images stay with us and what mood the audience carries home. The truly great ones you recognise by their signature (in the build-up of tension, the camera work and recurring themes) often within minutes. This pack gathers the most influential names behind the camera and their most famous works: match the films to Steven Spielberg, the master of the blockbuster, Alfred Hitchcock, inventor of the modern thriller, the perfectionist Stanley Kubrick, the word-loving Quentin Tarantino, the gangster chronicler Martin Scorsese, the puzzle-builder Christopher Nolan, the technology pioneer James Cameron, the Godfather's creator Francis Ford Coppola, the stylist Ridley Scott, the fantasy epicist Peter Jackson, the animation poet Hayao Miyazaki and the Japanese grandmaster Akira Kurosawa, whose films still inspire directors around the world today, from bustling Hollywood sets to quiet animation studios in Tokyo.
