Chazelle's first major directorial effort to not focus on music, First Man serves as a tragic and touching biopicof Neil Armstrong. The story primarily focuses on the years leading up to the famous Apollo 11 mission/moon landing and focuses more on character and drama than blockbuster space sequences.

10 Cloverfield Lane serves as a direct sequel to the found-footage monster movie, Cloverfield, although it couldn't be more different from its predecessor. While the first was a straightforward monster movie, this is an intimate character drama that takes place in an enclosed bunker and focuses primarily on issues of paranoia and mistrust. Chazelle...

Perhaps Chazelle made First Man after La La Land because La La Land encompassed everything he set out to accomplish in terms of musical filmmaking. Serving as the natural culmination of years' worth of musical filmmaking, La La Land was made for $30 million and starred enormous Hollywood stars, like Ryan Goslingand Emma Stone. Like most of his prev...

- 'Whiplash' (2014) Starring: Miles Teller, J.K. Simmons, Melissa Benoist. Time will tell whether Damien Chazelle can ever make a movie that'll top Whiplash, but at the same time, maybe he never needs to; it'd be hard to top perfection, after all.
- 'La La Land' (2016) Starring: Ryan Gosling, Emma Stone, John Legend. The most moving and bittersweet film directed by Damien Chazelle so far (by quite a considerable margin), La La Land saw the filmmaker returning to the realm of romantic musicals some years after Guy and Madeline on a Park Bench, and essentially nailing it this time around.
- 'Babylon' (2022) Starring: Brad Pitt, Margot Robbie, Diego Calva. Babylon is absolutely wild, and in all honesty, trying to best summarize just how wild it is with words would involve using copious amounts of profanity...
- 'First Man' (2018) Starring: Ryan Gosling, Claire Foy, Jason Clarke. First Man was Damien Chazelle's fourth feature film, and ended up feeling like quite the departure from the sorts of movies he'd made prior to this.
A tale of outsized ambition and outrageous excess, it traces the rise and fall of multiple characters during an era of unbridled decadence and depravity in early Hollywood.
