Kathryn Bigelow's Detroit looks like an instant classic
In addition to being the first woman to win the Oscar for Best Director for her work on The Hurt Locker. Kathryn Bigelow has also developed a reputation for being one of Hollywood's top directors when it comes to hard hitting, true life dramas. Zero Dark Thirty and K-19: The Widowmaker are also widely considered to be classics.
