Ok, long story short - Michael Apted is not a director that I had known by name. Gorky Park is one of my all-time favorite movies. I'm in a movie drought right now, so I was using Taste Dive to find similar movies. I kept running into other movies that I had watched before and really liked, and Michael Apted's name kept coming up as the director. I haven't watched all his movies, but these are the ones I've watched and liked. Some of the movies are maybe well-known to you, but some are movies I don't think many people would know of or remember. That's why I created this list.

James Bond (Pierce Brosnan) is back. An oil tycoon is murdered in MI6, and Bond is sent to protect his daughter.

Bond must work quickly to prevent Renard from destroying Europe.

1999 James Bond film directed by Michael Apted

Nell is a girl who's been brought up in an isolated world. The only people she knew were her mother and twin sister, Mae. They lived together in a cottage in the forest. Nobody has ever met Nell. After her mother's death, she's discovered by Jerome, the local doctor. He's fascinated by her, since she speaks a mangled language, developed by her and Mae growing up, "twin speak" if you will. But Paula, a psychology student, wants her observed in a laboratory. The judge decides they get three months to observe her in the forest, after which he'll decide about her future.

An FBI man with Sioux background is sent to a reservation to help with a murder investigation, where he has to come to terms with his heritage. Slowly he rejects the intimidating tactics of his fellow FBI agents, who are not so interested in solving the crime as covering up an incriminating situation with the locals, and as he becomes more tuned to his heritage, the locals begin trusting him. Based on actual Reservation occurrences of the '70s.

An investigator on the Moscow police force relentlessly pursues the solution to a triple homicide which occurred in Moscow's Gorky Park. He finds that no one really wants him to solve the crime because it is just the tip of a complex conspiracy which involves the highest levels of the Moscow city government.
