Sam Raimi does not make a lot of movies. In the last 15 years, he’s only directed three films: The big-budget Wizard of Oz prequel Oz the Great and Powerful, the Doctor Strange sequel Multiverse of Madness, and his most recent effort, 2026’s Send Help. While he’s had a hand in creating some other projects through his production companies, Raimi has only directed 16 feature films over the course of 40+ year career.
But most of Raimi’s 16 films range from good to flat-out classics, which makes them especially fun to rank. While he’s best known for his work in the horror and superhero genres, Raimi has also dabbled in sports movies, crime films, and even a western. They’re not all masterpieces, but the man has maintained an impressive level of quality across his four decades behind the camera — or occasionally next to the camera while it’s nailed to a wooden board and run toward Bruce Campbell at top speed.
