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 two years have passed, so here's my update.

Top 10, minimum four films (I could probably have gone for five films but I like Demy on the top)

Jacques Demy 83.00 4
Emeric Pressburger 80.20 5
Billy Wilder 80.00 10
Paul Verhoeven 80.00 5
Henri-Georges Clouzot 80.00 4
Preston Sturges 77.00 4
Peter Greenaway 77.00 4
Michael Powell 76.14 7
Ingmar Bergman 75.75 8
Joseph L. Mankiewicz 75.60 5

Powell falls behind his buddy Pressburger because I didn't particularly care for Thief of Bagdad (Peeping Tom was fine).

And while I consider myself mostly Classic Hollywood fan, most of the top directors are not from there...

Five film minimum

1. Emeric Pressburger - 87.50 (8)
2. Michael Powell - 85.83 (12)
3. Preston Sturges - 83.33 (6)
4. Yasujiro Ozu - 80.00 (9)
5. Ingmar Bergman - 78.75 (18)
