Lesli Linka Glatter may be one of the most consistently great directors working today—it’s just that she’s mainly been working in television. From Twin Peaks to Freaks and Geeks to Mad Men to ER to The West Wing, she’s about as versatile as they come. For the past few years she’s been the principal director on Homeland, mastering the show’s balance of tension and character. She helmed the memorable 1995 feature Now and Then and the period drama The Proposition so she knows her way around a film set, and her recent mastery of the spy genre signals she’d make one hell of an action movie. Again, her consistency of quality is stunning, and if and when Glatter makes a return to the big screen it’s gonna be a hell of a thing. – Adam Chitwood
