Anyways, my own list doesn't do a great job of showing off my favorites. Ignoring directors who only made animated shorts, I have;

1. Spielberg, 17 movies, 55.12
2. John Landis, 10 movies, 63.80
3. John Woo, 10 movies, 62.90
4. Francis Ford Coppola, 10 movies, 60.70
5. Tim Burton, 9 movies, 67.44 (high rating because I have watched so little of his post-95' trash)
6. Robert Rodriguez, 9 movies, 60.78
7. Richad Donner, 9 movies, 60.11
8. Ron Howard, 9 movies, 49.11 (only T4 or lower...)
9. Sammo Hung 8 movies, 72.88 (highest rating)
10. Joel and Ethan Coen, 8 movies, 70.75 (second highest rating)

Almost 9 years later, we have

1. Spielberg, 17 movies, 55.6 (doubt I will watching anything more he has made)
2. John Landis, 11 movies, 61.5
3. Ron Howard, 11 movies, 43.5 (awful average, by far the lowest of my list. Utterly shameless hack nowadays)
4. Tim Burton, 11 movies, 67.7 (I was unfair to him above; I watched two of his post-95' movies, Sleepy Hollow and The Corpse Bride, and both were pretty good, getting scores of 69 each)
5. Joel and Ethan Coen, 10 movies, 71.7 (highest average not counting kung-fu, continues to go up)
6. John Woo, 10 movies, 62.9
7. Sammo Hung, 9 movies, 73.4 (highest average)
8. Francis Ford Coppola, 9 movies, 60.4
9. Clint Eastwood, 9 movies, 61.0
10. Richard Donner, 9 movies, 60.0
11. Walter Hill, 9 movies, 61.2
12. Robert Rodriguez, 9 movies, 60.8

I wouldn't count Spielberg among my favorite directors but I do think he's the quintessential Hollywood director, with easily digestable, entertaining popcorn flicks great for watching over a few beers with friends or when I'm too tired for something more serious.

Places 11-20, with 9-12 movies ranked, include many of my favorite directors: Kar-Wai Wong, Sion Sono, Masaki Kobayashi, Martin Scorsese, Quentin Tarantino, Ki-duk Kim, Chan-wook Park, Ji-woon Kim, Isao Takahata, Wes Anderson.

It's been six years since I last posted and I've seen quite a few movies in that time (although, I'm sure, not as many as a lot of you). Updated list:

1. David Cronenberg (15 films, 76.67 avg)
2. Steven Spielberg (15 films, 74.67 avg)
3. Alfred Hitchcock (15 films, 73.33 avg)
4. Martin Scorsese (14 films, 76 avg)
5. Joel and Ethan Coen (14 films, 72.21 avg)
6. Robert Altman (12 films, 72 avg)
7. John Frankenheimer (10 films, 68.8 avg)
8. Christopher Nolan (8 films, 84.63 avg)
9. Paul Thomas Anderson (8 films, 82.5 avg)
10. Peter Jackson (8 films, 81 avg)

I also have 5 other directors that I've seen 8 films from (Stanley Kubrick, David Fincher, Ridley Scott, Robert Aldrich, and John Carpenter), but Nolan, PTA, and Jackson win out with the higher averages.
