English film writer and director. After starting his career in the advertising industry, Parker broke into feature films with the children's gangster musical Bugsy Malone (1976).

These include Midnight Express (1978) and the screen adaptations Birdy (1984), Angel Heart (1987), The Commitments (1991), and Evita (1996).

His other films include Mississippi Burning (1988), Angela's Ashes (1999), and The Life of David Gale (2003).
