  • Happy Feet Two on Random Surprisingly Bad Movies Directed by Good Directors

    (#4) Happy Feet Two

    • Brad Pitt, Sofía Vergara, Robin Williams, P!nk, Matt Damon, John Goodman, Elijah Wood, Common, Hugo Weaving, Hank Azaria, E.G. Daily, Anthony LaPaglia, Carlos Alazraqui, Magda Szubanski, Danny Mann, Lombardo Boyar, Richard Carter, Michael Cornacchia, Johnny A. Sanchez, Mark Klastorin

    Director: George Miller

    The mad genius behind Mad Max, The Road Warrior, Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome and Mad Max: Fury Road made a bunch of kids movies (as well as The Witches of Eastwick)!

    It's not necessarily a bad thing, nor are the films entirely awful (though they are certainly surprising). The guy who thought up Mad Max directed Babe: Pig in the City along with the Happy Feet films.

  • Death Proof on Random Surprisingly Bad Movies Directed by Good Directors

    (#18) Death Proof

    • Rose McGowan, Rosario Dawson, Kurt Russell, Quentin Tarantino, Mary Elizabeth Winstead, Eli Roth, Marley Shelton, Jordan Ladd, Vanessa Ferlito, Tracie Thoms, Nicky Katt, Zoe Bell, Michael Parks, Jonathan Loughran, Sydney Tamiia Poitier, Electra Avellan, James Parks, Elise Avellan, Michael Bacall, Omar Doom, Monica Staggs, Eurlyne Epper, Tina Rodriguez, Amanda Rivas, Manuel Cantu, Steven A. Webb, Violet Saenz-Arocha, Darryl K. Phipps, Marcy Harriell, Kelley Robins, Angela Ware, Julitta Pourciau, Marta Mendoza, Chris King, Melissa Arcaro, Jamie L. Dunno, Tim Murphy, Helen Kim

    Director: Quentin Tarantino

    Tarantino's directorial debut was Reservoir Dogs (not a bad start!) and he followed that up with Pulp Fiction, Jackie Brown, and Kill Bill. So when Death Proof came out and it was... well, kind of boring, people were less than thrilled.
  • Intolerable Cruelty on Random Surprisingly Bad Movies Directed by Good Directors

    (#3) Intolerable Cruelty

    • George Clooney, Catherine Zeta-Jones, Billy Bob Thornton, Bruce Campbell, Geoffrey Rush, Richard Jenkins, Bridget Marquardt, Cedric the Entertainer, Rosey Brown, Julia Duffy, Edward Herrmann, Tamie Sheffield, Stacey Travis, Kate Luyben, Mary Pat Gleason, Blake Clark, Emma Harrison, Allan Trautman, Paul Adelstein, Kristin Dattilo, Tom Aldredge, Irwin Keyes, Kiersten Warren, Camille Anderson, Colin Linden, Susan Yeagley, Royce D. Applegate, Kitana Baker, Judith Drake, Patrick Thomas O'Brien, Booth Colman, Jonathan Hadary, Mary Gillis, Larry Vigus, Isabell O'Connor, Ken Sagoes, Mia Cottet, John Bliss, Wendle Josepher, Jack Kyle, Justine Baker, Douglas Fisher, Dale E. Turner, Julie Osburn, George Ives, Nicholas Shaffer, Barbara Kerr Condon, Gary Marshall, Sean Fenton, Jason De Hoyos

    Directors: Joel and Ethan Coen

    The Coen Brothers are a rare talent, masters of both comedy (Fargo, Big Lebowski, O Brother Where Art Thou) and drama (No Country for Old Men, Blood Simple, Barton Fink). They've really only had a few films that weren't astounding: the failed rom-com attempt Intolerable Cruelty and the surprisingly lackluster Tom Hanks vehicle The Ladykillers.
  • War of the Worlds on Random Surprisingly Bad Movies Directed by Good Directors

    (#17) War of the Worlds

    • Tom Cruise, Morgan Freeman, Channing Tatum, Dakota Fanning, Tim Robbins, Gene Barry, Miranda Otto, Columbus Short, Amy Ryan, Justin Chatwin, Rick Gonzalez, Lisa Ann Walter, Ty Simpkins, Yul Vazquez, David Alan Basche, Ricky Luna, Lenny Venito, Ann Robinson

    Director: Steven Spielberg

    War of the Worlds isn't bad per se, but it's certainly not good. And when the rest of your filmography falls neatly onto many "best films of all times" lists (Jurassic Park, Indiana Jones, Jaws, Schindler's List, Saving Private Ryan, Amistad, Hook it makes the one "meh" film feel like a major blunder.
  • The Brothers Grimm on Random Surprisingly Bad Movies Directed by Good Directors

    (#14) The Brothers Grimm

    • Monica Bellucci, Matt Damon, Lena Headey, Heath Ledger, Peter Stormare, Jonathan Pryce, Mackenzie Crook, Julian Bleach, Roger Ashton-Griffiths, Richard Ridings, Audrey Hamm, Miroslav Táborský, Rudolf Pellar, František Velecký, Laura Greenwood, Jan Unger, Václav Chalupa, Hanuš Bor, Harry Gilliam, Jiri Krejcir, Petr Vrsek, Nigel Pilkington, Tomáš Hanák, Ota Filip, Martin Hofmann, Marika Procházková, Annika Murjahn, Drahomíra Fialková, Radim Kalvoda, Vera Uzelacová, Josef Vajnar, Deborah Hyde, Barbora Lukešová, Tomas Liska, Jakub Zindulka, Milan Gargula, Bruce MacEwen, Josef Pepa Nos, Petr Ratimec, Denisa Vokurková, Martin Světlík, Lukás Bech, Daniela Kubickova, Denisa Malinovska, Ludek Elias, Dana Dohnalova, Veronika Loulova, Andrea Milackova, Bara Rudlova, Petra Dohnalova, Julie Venhauerova, Alena Jakobova, Anna Rust, Andrea Sochurkova, Simona Vcalová, Kamila Bruderova, Martin Kavan, Jana Radojcicová, Jeremy Robson, Eva Reitererová, Karel Kohlicek

    Director: Terry Gilliam

    The often imitated, but never replicated Terry Gilliam gave the world not just some Monty Python glory, but also Time Bandits, Brazil, Twelve Monkeys, and Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas. One valiant, but ultimately failed, effort he made in the 2000s was The Brothers Grimm starring Matt Damon and Heath Ledger.

  • The Last Airbender on Random Surprisingly Bad Movies Directed by Good Directors

    (#1) The Last Airbender

    • Nicola Peltz, Jackson Rathbone, Seychelle Gabriel, John Noble, Summer Bishil, Dee Bradley Baker, Aasif Mandvi, Cliff Curtis, Dev Patel, Shaun Toub, Noah Ringer, Francis Guinan, Katharine Houghton, Damon Gupton, Randall Duk Kim, Ernest E. Brown, Roberto Lombardi, Gilbert Soto, J.W. Cortes, Manu Narayan, Doua Moua, Keong Sim, Erica LaRose, Jae Greene, Brian M. Martin, Mohammed J. Ali, Jordan Romero, Frank Apollonio, London Summers, Philip J Silvera, Tom Delconte, Georgie DeNoto, Jon Trosky, Matt von Siegel, Kevin Yamada, Mihir Pathak, Isaac Jin Solstein, Chris Brewster, Jeffrey Zubernis, Robert Lenzi, Ted Oyama, Stephen Oyoung, Hasan Bivings, Ken Myers, Alexander Baliev, John D'Alonzo, Edmund Ikeda, Thomas Walton, Bob Lewandowski, Alex Alessi, Michael J. Kraycik, Kirk Kelly, Sam Ibram, Matthew Nadu, Mike Tyler, Brian D. Johnson, Joe Polito, Morgan Spector, James Sayess, Kristian Francis Falkenstein, Tamiko Brownlee, Zackary Kresser, Steven Carey, Ryan Shams, George Coward, Joe Krieg, Ali Khan, Eddie Noone, Sean Crisden, Tino D. Valentino, Jackson Zachariah Vaughn, Jona Kessler, J. Center, Valentino Rudi, Danny Donnelly, Ritesh Rajan, Akira Fitton, Manuel Kanian, Karim Sioud, David L. Powell III, Robert Eckard

    Director: M. Night Shyamalan

    His early career is the stuff of legend (The Sixth Sense, Signs, Unbreakable), but then something happened and nothing he's made has been remotely watchable since (The Last Airbender, The Happening, After Earth).

So many messy reasons make producing a good movie become a very difficult thing.

Top directors can also produce low-quality movies. Perhaps this is a failure they did not anticipate, or they may be presented in different styles. Each can hold a different view. The generator has 20 items, you could find some surprisingly bad movies directed by good directors.
