Ron Howard's Best Films Appear On Satellite Tv

One of the most prolific film directors to live in our times is Ron Howard

, who's career began when he starred on the Andy Griffith Show as a young child. Before making his way out to Hollywood, Howard grew up in a part of Oklahoma that wasn't far from Dallas, Texas, which may be why Howard seems so humble despite his success. Although he hasn't won as many awards as several other motion picture directors, Howard has clearly been one of the leaders and one of the most innovative forces in the film industry. From child actor to Oscar winning director, Howard has been highly successful and will likely continue to be so for years to come. Watch his five most impressive films on your satellite tv channels.
