A few years and hundreds of reviews later...

1. Stanley Kubrick - 91.89 (9)
2. Sergio Leone - 91.75 (4)
3. Francis Ford Coppola - 90.80 (5)
4. Akira Kurosawa - 90.43 (7)
5. Béla Tarr - 90.25 (4)
6. Sidney Lumet - 89.75 (4)
7. Andrei Tarkovsky - 89.00 (4)
8. Terrence Malick - 88.25 (4)
9. Buster Keaton - 88.14 (7)
10. Joel and Ethan Coen - 86.75 (12)

Sounds pretty accurate. Coppola's probably gonna drop once I get around to his later films.
Upping the limit to five films, after the Coens we have:

7. Charles Chaplin - 86.60 (5)
8. Alfred Hitchcock - 86.43 (14)
9. Terry Gilliam - 85.20 (5)
10. Ingmar Bergman - 84.64 (11)

Also pretty accurate, though I thought Bergman would be higher.

another (nearly) 3 months and this time somewhere in the range of 320 films later (!) it's changed a lot again:

83.81 ingmar bergman (16)
83.00 robert altman (3)
82.50 francis ford coppola (4)
81.25 lars von trier (16)

78.33 errol morris (3)
78.25 stanley kubrick (12)
77.40 andrei tarkovsky (5)
77.30 werner herzog (10)

but i can do a minimum of 5 now:

83.81 ingmar bergman (16)
81.25 lars von trier (16)
79.00 terrence malick (5)
78.25 stanley kubrick (12)

75.00 abbas kiarostami (8)
74.86 federico fellini (7)
73.20 ethan & joel coen (10)

this is very similar to my personal list of top ten directors, but i'd substitute tarkovsky & fellini for lynch & polanski.

Dropping it to a three film minimum would throw four new directors on the list, but some of those are cop-outs, as a single fantastic movie and two ok ones is all you need.
