The best female directors include an Academy Award winner, members of Hollywood's royal families, and a whole bunch of ladies who make beautiful things happen when they're behind the camera. Though women might be the minority among the <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="http://www.ranker.com/crowdranked-list/the-most-oscar-worthy-directors-of-all-time">greatest directors in movie history</a>, they are not any less talented than male directors, and are&nbsp;behind the <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://www.ranker.com/list/best-movies-directed-by-women/ranker-film">best movies directed by women</a>. Who is the best female director?&nbsp;It's hard to argue against Kathryn Bigelow as a top pick for the best female director of all time. For her work on The Hurt Locker in 2009, she became the first woman to take home the prized Oscar for Best Director. Bigelow proved herself as no one-trick pony in 2012 when she received numerous accolades for her direction of Zero Dark Thirty.Bigelow's Oscar buzz was easily the most mainstream of any female director in the recent past, but she surely isn't the first female director to be nominated for the Academy Award for Best Director. In 1976, Lina Wertmuller received a nomination for Seven Beauties; in 1993, Jane Champion was nominated for The Piano;&nbsp;and in 2003, Sofia Coppola, daughter of the great Francis Ford Coppola, was up for the award for Lost in Translation.But for every Oscar-nominated female director, there are dozens right behind also creating great movies. Isa Lupino, Patty Jenkins, Penny Marshall, Nora Ephron, Nancy Meyers, and Amy Heckerling are just a few of those names and each directing poignant and quality films on a regular basis. Including American female film directors and more, this list of great women in directing has them all.Vote for the best woman directors in Hollywood to move them to the top of this list.&nbsp;

Literature

This is&nbsp;a complete list of writers, journalists, authors, essayists, memoirists, and historians who count among the writers who died in 2013. The list&nbsp;of famous authors who&nbsp;died in 2013 includes all the writers who committed suicide, the authors who died in accidents, and the writers who died of natural causes.

The world is a little less informed without these talented authors in it to bring us their words and stories.

These are some of the best <a class="edS-cl" href="https://www.ranker.com/crowdranked-list/the-best-native-american-movies?ref=internalCrossLinking_keyword">Native American movies</a> of all time. While they're not all strictly about <a class="edS-cl" href="https://www.ranker.com/list/best-native-american-characters/ranker-entertainment?ref=internalCrossLinking_keyword">Native American characters</a> (NIght at the Museum), they all have Native American characters central to the movie's plot. While Dances with Wolves seemed to me to be the clear favorite in this category, there were other tough choices to make, including how far up the list an animated film would place. If you see anything missing, feel free to add it, and if you agree or disagree, make your opinion known. Happy voting!

Best Characters

Combining the characters presented in the books and the performances of the actors who brought them to life (and death) over the course of eight movies, this list is a rundown of all the best <a class="edS-cl" href="https://www.ranker.com/crowdranked-list/harry-potter-characters?ref=internalCrossLinking_keyword">Harry Potter characters</a> from the movie and book series. Since it's not easy to argue that Harry is the best character, he's not #1. I stand by that. It may be his story, but there are so many other rich, complex characters we get to know over the course of eight imagined years that it would be wrong for it to begin and end with Harry. Don't get me wrong, he's important and complex and dark and all that, but so is Snape (and Alan Rickman has the best accent ever).

However, less deadly hurricanes have wrought unspeakable damage to infrastructure, leading to massive displacement, job loss, and economic upheaval. The destruction wrought by the world&#39;s most destructive hurricanes is always devastating, but you often see communities come together in the aftermath to rebuild. While always tragic, these types of natural disasters can be a testament to the enduring willpower of people across the globe. So, what&#39;s the worst hurricane in history?
