*Black Comedy: Usually done in his films, particularly the ''Trainspotting'' films.
* HumansAreBastards: Not always but you can kind of get that idea on several occasions when watching his movies.
* ShadesOfConflict
* SignatureStyle: Downplayed. Danny Boyle is known for not exactly having a style and creating a film very differently with each and every project he is a part of.
* SlidingScaleOfIdealismVsCynicism: Danny Boyle himself said that he is more optimistic on just about everything, but his films might portray a more cynical aspect of the film.

Danny Boyle is an English-Irish filmmaker. As a teenager, he was planning on joining the Catholic Priesthood, but a priest persuaded him to seek a different vocation. He began his career as a director first in the theatre, but then moved on to television and ultimately film.

His films have been, to put it mildly, diverse. He's done sci-fi, zombie horror, a kids movie, crime drama, Bollywood-inspired drama, and not easily definable works as well. He's also one of few successful filmmakers to have two movies with a character diving into a toilet.

Despite having a very broad range of styles, he's known for his use of music in his films and his dynamic cinematography. He also dabbles in magic realism from time to time. He has a few repeat collaborators in Ewan Macgregor (who appears in his first three films) and worked with CillianMurphy, screenwriter Alex Garland, and composer John Murphy on both ''[[TwentyEightDaysLater 28 Days Later]]'' and ''{{Film/Sunshine}}''.
