Poll: Ten Best Picture Winners Directed by Actors

When actors and actresses direct movies, they become directors (well duh!). When directors act in movies, they're actors or actresses to some degree.

These movies were all directed by directors (obviously) who had made a name for themselves through acting or whose first notability was on the field of acting or who were known as actors prior to their directing debut. We're good? Good.

Oh, and these movies have another thing in common, they won the Oscar for Best Picture. To date, only 10 movies fit that category.

Which of these Best Picture winners directed by actors is your favorite?
