директор

Я заметил что когда склоняется это слово на множественное число оформляется на именительным с окончанием: а и ударение перемещается на конце: директора.
Слово профессор тоже.

Are there any other words that follow the same rules?

I think there are many of such words in Russian. Just off the top of my head:

мастер - мастера
кучер - кучера

It might be due to the nature of the words as they were absorbed from other languages, but I'm not sure on that.

Паспорт - ПаспортА

Be careful, many words are pronounced in 2 ways (прожекторы-прожектора), but only one of them could be "approved". In normal speech (even if you speak in parliament) any way is acceptable. In documents, one could be called illiterate.
