I can't name names...because they are mostly alike, like Kanmani Aval Ponmani, or Thirumathi oru vegumathi, or Paruppu en Porruppu or something like that.
It begins to be formulaic, with Visu holding the court at the end, repeating some kind of punch dialogue. Add that the same repeated middle-class depression. Most of these times; I'd probably have yawned and hit my head on something hard that I had Visu-related amnesia.
But I list him there, because of his early films. They were damned good. His Gauvry Kalyanam was a great family drama that also functioned like a thriller - get the money before the wedding and how do you do it? Or Manal Kayiru, which was funny as hell.
So, I hope you don't mind me not listing his irritating movies. Visu is best explained in his role in Rajini's Mannan "Ippa theriyuthu yeen onnai adichaangga-nnu!"

It took a couple of days for me to get over the effect - the climaxes of those two movies created. Similarly with Autograph, paaNdavar boomi and TT. His thEsiya geetham did not impress me much and I am yet to see Mayakkannadi. I am confident that he would have excelled in some aspect with the movie and thus it would be worth viewing.
Oh.. Directors list, is it. Let me try :P
1. Mahendran
2. Bharathiraja
3. Balachandar
4. Mani Ratnam
5. Balu Mahandra
6. Bala
7. Ameer
8. Cheran
9. Selvaraghavan
10. Shankar
Not to forget the one film wonders:
S. Balachander - andha naaL (I don't know if he had directed other movies :oops: )
Rudraiah - avaL appadithAn (Have not seen his graamathu athiyaayam)
Balaji sakthivel - kAdhal (Samurai was an OK movie)
He also directed the film "Bommai" where the song "Neeyum bommai, naanum bommai" comes..Quote:

We all know him as a director, but he contributes strongly in many character roles. Guess who played Nakkeeran in the classic Thiruvilayadal
