Favourite Director - The Best of Ron Howard

I knew Ron Howard as Richie Cunningham and till this very day, I will forever associate him with that evergreen sitcom "Happy Days".

After being a regular in the sitcom for a couple of years, Howard decided to leave the show and focused on movie making. His first attempt at filmmaking resulted in an action comedy crime caper "Grand Theft Auto". The movie was a commercial success and that jump-started his directorial career.

Thereafter he continued to churn out blockbuster movies one after another. His collaboration with another producer, Brian Grazer forged a great partnership that exploded into a number of wonderful, eventful movies over the years.

Howard was never a director of a specific genre, hence his movies have covered different types or genres from comedies to dramas to thrillers and even westerns.

Here are my personal Top 10 favourite movies directed by the brilliant Ron Howard: -


1. Apollo 13 (1995)
2. A Beautiful Mind (2001)
3. Night Shift (1982)
4. Parenthood (1989)
5. Willow (1988)
6. Splash (1984)
7. The Da Vinci Code (2006)
8. Ransom (1996)
9. Backdraft (1991)
10. The Paper (1994)
