I think Richard Donner deserves to be in this category. He does solid action dramas, but I don't think he has any distinctive narrative theme or style.
Also, would Joe Johnson (Rocketeer, Honey I Shrunk The Kids, JPIII, Hildalgo) fit this category? To me, he seems like a second rate Spielberg wannabe, as opposed to Zemeckis who is a first rate Spielberg wannabe. Is this a style that would qualify him as an auteur, or does he lack distinction?
