Added DiffLines:
* It's hard to believe the RobertRodriguez from ''{{Desperado}}'', ''FromDuskTillDawn'', ''SinCity'' and ''PlanetTerror'' is the same RobertRodriguez from ''SpyKids'', ''Shorts'', and ''TheAdventuresOfSharkboyAndLavagirl''.
** To be fair, [[SoMyKidsCanWatch he did those for (and with!) his kids.]]
* Andrew Davis, known for his action films such as ''UnderSiege'' and ''Film/TheFugitive'' as well as lesser-known action films like Ahnold's ''Collateral Damage'', directed the family film ''{{Holes}}'' that was Shia [=LaBeouf's=] feature film debut, and was based on a childrens' book.
* Chris Weitz. ''AmericanPie'', ''About A Boy'', ''TheGoldenCompass'', ''[[Literature/{{Twilight}} New Moon]]''...wait! ''TheGoldenCompass'' and ''New Moon''!?
** His brother Paul, who co-directed the first two films above with Chris, and solely directed ''American Dreamz'' and ''In Good Company'', also directed against type with ''[[TheSagaOfDarrenShan The Vampire's Assistant]]''.
** Chris's next movie, ''ABetterLife'', goes even further against type, being a serious drama about illegal immigrants struggling to survive in LA, with no well-known actors.
* Stanley Kramer was a director best known for dramas regarding social issues (''Inherit the Wind'', ''On the Beach'', etc.). ''Film/ItsAMadMadMadMadWorld?'' Not so much.
* DavidLynch, known for directing surreal and nightmarish films, made ''TheStraightStory'': the simple and heartwarming story of an old man, who takes a cross-country trip on a [[strike:tractor]] lawnmower to visit his brother.
* JamesCameron became famous with science fiction films, like ''{{Film/Alien}}s'' and the {{Terminator}} movies. Then, he went on, and made ''{{Titanic}}'', a romantic period piece based on real events.
* Bob Clark hit it big with ''{{Porkys}}'', and when ''AChristmasStory'' came out, many critics couldn't judge it on its own merits due to the former's lingering aftertaste.
** To be fair, he did direct [[Film/BlackChristmas another Christmas film]] a decade earlier... only it had more [[BloodierAndGorier blood and murder]].
* WesCraven joked that he went from "violence" to "violins" when he directed MerylStreep to an Oscar nomination in ''MusicOfTheHeart''.
* DavidFincher, known for disturbing CrapsackWorld thrillers that border on horror like ''{{Se7en}}'', ''FightClub'', and ''Film/{{Zodiac}}'', directed ''TheCuriousCaseOfBenjaminButton'', a more mainstream life story fantasy and ''TheSocialNetwork'', a biopic about the shady origins of {{Facebook}}.
* MNightShyamalan, well-known as the director for supernatural flicks like ''TheSixthSense'', directed ''[[Film/TheLastAirbender The Last Airbender]]'', the {{live action adaptation}} of the martial-arts cartoon ''WesternAnimation/AvatarTheLastAirbender''.
* WoodyAllen, better known for comedies set in New York, directed ''MatchPoint'', a thriller set in and around London. It became his most successful film in years, and he himself called it his best.
** It's hardly that surprising if you pay attention to his earlier films. The first time he really did this was with ''Interiors''; after nearly ten years of wacky comedies, he suddenly makes a dead-serious TearJerker.
*** His most recent film, ''Film/MidnightInParis'', is a turn towards the fantasy genre. It turned out to be his best reviewed film in a long time.
* TakashiMiike. ''TheHappinessOfTheKatakuris''. ''{{Film/Audition}}''. Frigging ''Anime/{{Yatterman}}''.
** And now a movie based on ''Gyakuten Saiban'' - also known as ''AceAttorney''.
* YoshiyukiTomino is an odd case. Fans who love his darker and more serious works like ''ZetaGundam'' and ''SpaceRunawayIdeon'' (which earned him the nickname "KillEmAll Tomino") are often shocked or put off by his lighter fare like ''GundamZZ'' and ''{{Xabungle}}''. In this case, Tomino tends to let his current mood affect his writing, and his darker works were done during periods of CreatorBreakdown while his lighter shows come during periods where he's doing better. Ever since 1999's ''TurnAGundam'' he seems to have gotten completely over his darker side and acknowledges his flaws, culminating in an AlternateContinuity movie version of ''Zeta'' with a happier ending.
* Hideaki Anno. ''Neon Genesis Evangelion''. ''Cutey Honey''.
* Jay Roach, director of the AustinPowers movies and ''MeetTheParents'' also directed the TV movie ''Recount'', a political drama about the events of the United States presidential election in 2000.
* Danny Boyle, director of ''{{Trainspotting}}'', ''Film/TwentyEightDaysLater'', and ''{{Film/Sunshine}}'', would make a family friendly film about a child coming across a lot of money called ''Millions'', and would also later direct the less-family-friendly but still child-oriented ''SlumdogMillionaire''.
* Zack Synder, director of ultra-violent thrillers such as ''Film/{{Watchmen}}'', ''Film/ThreeHundred'', and ''Film/SuckerPunch'' directed the family film ''[[LegendOfTheGuardiansTheOwlsOfGaHoole Legend of the Guardians: The Owls of Ga'Hoole]]''.
* George Miller, director of ''MadMax,'' later directed family movies about [[{{Babe}} cute pigs]] and [[HappyFeet penguins]].
* Ed Zwick, best known for historical war epics and the like (including ''{{Glory}}'', ''TheLastSamurai'', and ''BloodDiamond'') made his directorial debut with the romantic comedy ''About Last Night'', and takes a break from the Oscar bait with his latest film ''Love and Other Drugs'', a sex comedy about a Viagra salesman.
** And prior to his epic film work, he was well known for producing television dramedies, most notably Sisters, thirtysomething and My So-Called Life.
* SergioLeone is probably best known for his spaghetti Westerns, several of which involved actors being cast against type. His last film was ''OnceUponATimeInAmerica'', a story about gangsters.
** When Sergio Leone finished ''Film/TheGoodTheBadAndTheUgly'', he originally wanted to direct against type by making Once Upon a Time in America, but gave into popular demand and made Once Upon a Time in the West, which was the start of a new trilogy that would end with Once Upon a Time in America.
** Apparently, Sergio Leone--known for having something of a hard-on for America, or at least American history--had also planned to make a film about the siege of Leningrad during World War II. Sadly, he died before it got very far.
* RolandEmmerich, best known for large-scale disaster movies such as ''Film/TwoThousandTwelve'', ''IndependenceDay'', and ''TheDayAfterTomorrow'', tackled ''Anonymous'', a historical mystery-thriller addressing the age-old question: "who wrote the plays attributed to William Shakespeare"?
* TheCoenBrothers did this right out of the gate, following their claustrophobic FilmNoir debut ''BloodSimple'' with the wacky and exuberant (if still crime-centered) comedy ''RaisingArizona''.
* KennethBranagh, best known for directing adaptations of Shakespeare, directed ''{{Thor}}'', a big budget special effects laden movie based on a comic book character.
** FridgeBrilliance kicks in considering that Branagh movies usually involve lots of hammy performances... perfect for a movie that comes from a comic book created by StanLee and JackKirby, creators of [[WorldOfHam entire universes of ham]].
* AlfredHitchcock, known to film history for directing suspense thrillers and crime dramas, often with explicit violence, took some time in 1941 to direct a {{screwball comedy}} called ''Mr. and Mrs. Smith'' ([[SimilarlyNamedWorks no connection to]] [[MrAndMrsSmith the Brangelina film]]) starring Carole Lombard.
* John Landis mainly directed comedies like ''AnimalHouse'', ''TheBluesBrothers'', and ''Film/ThreeAmigos'' but he has also directed the critically acclaimed horror films ''AnAmericanWerewolfInLondon'' and ''[[Series/TheTwilightZone Twilight Zone: The Movie]]''.
* Jerry Zucker is most well known for doing comedies like ''{{Film/Airplane}}'' and ''Film/TopSecret'' but he also directed the critically acclaimed drama film ''{{Ghost}}''.
* Not directing, but rather ''producing'': MelBrooks was a primary producer for both DavidLynch's ''TheElephantMan'' and DavidCronenberg's ''TheFly''. In order to keep anyone from thinking that either of these movies was a comedy, he insisted that he be completely uncredited.
* David R. Ellis the man behind such thrillers as ''SnakesOnAPlane'', ''FinalDestination 2'', ''The Final Destination'', and ''{{Cellular}}'' began his career directing the family film ''{{Homeward Bound|TheIncredibleJourney}} II: Lost in San Francisco.''
* David Gordon Green was well known for making dramatic films like ''George Washington'', ''All the Real Girls'', ''Undertow'', and ''Snow Angels''. Then, as his father put it, he went "from the Arthouse to the Outhouse" by making raunchy comedies like ''PineappleExpress'', ''YourHighness'', and ''TheSitter''.
* RalphBakshi is known for street-based dramas and comedies with over the top violence, sex, and nudity (''Film/FritzTheCat'', ''HeavyTraffic'', ''{{Coonskin}}'', and ''HeyGoodLookin'') and fantasy films (''{{Wizards}}'', ''WesternAnimation/TheLordOfTheRings'', and ''Film/FireAndIce''). But he also directed the realistically grounded drama ''Film/AmericanPop'', which is more down to earth than his street films and fairly realistic in its portrayal of violence and mild in its sexuality.
* MartinScorsese: the director of ''Mean Streets'', ''TaxiDriver'', ''RagingBull'' and ''{{Goodfellas}}'' presents ''{{Film/Hugo}}'', a PG-rated adventure film.
** To be fair, [[SoMyKidsCanWatch he did those for (and with!) his kids.]]
