Gore Vidal wrote as essay years ago called "Who Make the Movies?" which credited the screenwriter as the true auteur of a movie. I can't find a like to the entire essay but I did find this.

I think there's are good arguments for either being the real driving force behind a great movie but I tend to side more with Vidal. Without a good story, you rarely have a good movie. Not to take anything away from Ron Howard but Ed Wood could have directed "Apollo 13" and it still would have been a great movie.
