Chris Joseph Columbus( born September 10, 1958) is an American film director, producer and writer, best known for his work in family and sentimental films.
Born in Spangler, Pennsylvania, Columbus studied film at Tisch School of the Arts.
After writing screenplays for" Gremlins"( 1984) and" The Goonies"( 1985), he made his directorial debut with a teen comedy," Adventures in Babysitting"( 1987).

The comedy" Mrs. Doubtfire"( 1993), starring Robin Williams, was another box office success for Columbus.
He went on to direct" Nine Months"( 1995)," Stepmom"( 1998) and" Bicentennial Man"( 1999), which were met with lukewarm reception.

Jack Clayton
Jack Clayton (1 March 1921 – 26 February 1995) was a British film director and producer who specialised in bringing literary works to the screen.
Starting out as a teenage studio "tea boy" in 1935, Clayton worked his way up through British film industry in a career that spanned nearly sixty years.
He rapidly rose through a series of increasingly important roles in British film production, before shooting to international prominence as a director with his Oscar-winning feature film debut, the drama "Room at the Top" (1959); this was followed by the much-lauded horror film "The Innocents" (1961), adapted from Henry James' "The Turn of the Screw".
Clayton looked set for a brilliant future, and he was highly regarded by peers and critics alike, but a number of overlapping factors hampered his career.
He was a notably 'choosy' director, who by his own admission "never made a film I didn't want to make", and he repeatedly turned down films (including "Alien") that became huge hits for other directors.
But he was also dogged by bad luck and bad timing - the Hollywood studios labelled him as 'difficult', and studio politics quashed a string of planned films in the 1970s, which were either taken out of his hands, or cancelled in the final stages of preparation.
In 1977, he suffered a double blow - his current film was cancelled just two weeks before shooting was due to begin, and a few months later he suffered a serious stroke which robbed him of the ability to speak, and put his career on hold for five years.
Despite his relatively small "oeuvre", the films of Jack Clayton continue to be appreciated, and both they and their director have been widely admired and praised by leading film critics like Pauline Kael and Roger Ebert, and by film industry peers including Harold Pinter, Martin Scorsese, Guillermo del Toro, François Truffaut, Tennessee Williams and Steven Spielberg.
