Throughout history, actors have tried their hand at directing. The transition from actor to director is not always seamless. However, for some actors, it has resulted in great movies that will always be remembered for their impact and artistry. These actors were able to bring unique perspectives to their direction because of their years of on-screen experience.

Krasinski is a triple threat in A Quiet Place. He directed, he co-wrote the screenplay, and he stars as Lee; he even provided motion-capture for the aliens. The movie is considered one of the best modern horror movies. The minimal dialogue and the silence present in most scenes adds a layer of terror to the movie. Most horror movies rely on their scores to create a scary atmosphere or loud noises. However, Krasinski's use of silence amplifies the horror.

Affleck produces, directs, and stars in Air. The movie marks the actor's fifth directorial feature. Air successfully turns a business deal into an interesting narrative that keeps audiences engaged. The movie focuses both on the stakes and aspects of the business deal, as well as the personal stakes involved. Affleck succeeds in making the audience root for the success of the business deal, and all the characters involved. Air is classified as a sports drama.

Greta Gerwig is one of the people whose directorial career has elapsed their acting career. Most people don't know that Gerwig has been acting since 2006, and she started focusing on directing starting from 2017 with her solo debut Lady Bird. Gerwig directs and writes Lady Bird, pulling her life experiences into the movie to make it more realistic and relatable. The movie explores self-discovery, independence, and the journey from youth to adulthood perfectly.

Braveheart was only Gibson's second feature. However, he managed to win the Academy Awards for Best Director and Best Picture. Braveheart is not entirely historically accurate, but the movie has been praised for its grand scale, emotional intensity, and depiction of the Scottish fight for freedom, which made it one of the most iconic movies of the 1990s. Braveheart has huge intricate battle scenes, motivating war speeches, and a hero people empathize with, which makes it a great war movie.
