Sidney Lumet (6 films, 80 average)

It's been over 4 years, so an update is in order. And wow, this list has changed;

1. Sergio Leone (5 films, 86 average, brand-new entry!)
2. Johnnie To (5 films, 80.8 average, brand-new entry!)
3. Sidney Lumet (7 films, 80.43 average)
4. Billy Wilder (6 films, 79.33 average, brand-new entry!)
5. Yuen Wo-Ping (6 films, 78.83 average)
6. Sammo Hung (8 films, 72.88 average)
7. Jackie Chan (7 films, 72.29 average)
8. David Zucker (6 films, 72.17 average, brand-new entry!)
9. Martin Scorsese (7 films, 72.14 average)
10. Mel Brooks (7 films, 71.86 average)

Leone gets in thanks to a credit on My Name is Nobody pulling him up to the required five films. To is one of my favorite directors and got to the five film minimum after I watched the outstanding Election series. Lumet is my all-time favorite, and it's strange I have only seen one more of his movies in such a long time, the outstanding Before the Devil Knows You're Dead. I had seen zero movies by Wilder during my last list, but he is a fine inclusion at 4th here. Also, Zucker gets in thanks to the hilarious Top Secret!.

I have seen very few films (less than 5) from a lot of great and even favorite directors, so with that in mind, at a minimum of 5 pictures, we have

Sidney Lumet (6 films, 80 average)
Yuen Woo-Ping (6 films, 78.83 average)
Takashi Miike (5 films, 77.6 average)
Sammo Hung (8 films, 72.88 average)

James Cameron (5 films, 71.2 average)
Guy Hamilton (6 films, 71.17 average)
Coen Brothers (7 films, 69.43 average)

Never heard of Guy Hamilton before, but he apparently directed some of my favorite Bonds, as well as the highly entertaining "Remo Williams" and "Evil under the Sun" (Hercule Poirot mystery). A couple of kung fu directors have incredibly high averages, but that's mostly because I have only seen their classic works, and not some of the garbage they mass-produced. Only Lumet and the Coen Brothers are among my list of all-time favorite directors.

Making the cut off 5 films.

So two of my favorites won't make it.

Buster Keaton (4) - 96.5 Still finding more of his films. 3 are already in the top of my favorites.
Terrence Malick (4) - 95 Has only made 4 films thus far with a fifth on the way.

Sergio Leone (5) - 94.6
Stanley Kubrick (11) - 92.64
Alfred Hitchcock (6) - 91
Quentin Tarantino (9) - 89.67 Though that include both Grindhouse/Death Proof and Sin City
Werner Herzog (14) - 89.43
Martin Scorsese (11) - 85.55
David Lynch (7) - 84
James Cameron (6) - 83.17
Coen Brothers (10) - 80.7
Peter Jackson (8) - 80.63
Charles Chaplin (5) - 80.2
Woody Allen (8) - 79.13
Terry Gilliam (8) - 78.13
Sam Raimi (9) - 77.33
Steven Spielberg (19) - 77
David Fincher (6) - 76.83
Michael Mann (7) - 73.14
Ridley Scott (12) - 71.75
Rob Reiner (5) - 60.6
Robert Rodriguez (12) - 57 His 5 family movies have wrecked his average
Michael Bay (7) - 21.43

Sort of interesting. Definitely need to see more movies by some. Still need to see more Tarkovsky and Bergman.

Herzog, Kubrick, Malick and Keaton are my actual favorites.
