...too easy. All of those fulfil the requirements, but I don't know if I'd call any of them great. Maybe Zach Braff, but only as a writer/director. Or Jeong-beom Lee.

Or Spike Jonze, who didn't make the cut anyway, because he didn't wait a year to make Being John Malkovich. :>

Criteria are two tier 9 or higher, including at least one tier 10. Sorry if that wasn't clear. But thanks for actually paying some attention to the criteria!

Ok, that lets in a few:

Ken Lonergan - Margaret (t10), You Can Count on Me (t10)
Michel Gondry - Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind (t10), Dave Chapelle's Block Party (t9)
Apichatpong Weerasethakul - Tropical Malady (t10), Uncle Boonmee Who Can Recall His Past Lives (t9)
David Gordon Green - All the Real Girls (t10), George Washington (t9)
Cristian Mungiu - 4 Months 3 Weeks and 2 Days (t10), Beyond the Hills (t9)
Rian Johnson - Brick (t10), Looper (t9)
Carlos Reygadas - Japon (t10), Stellet licht (t9)
Shane Carruth - Primer (t10), Upstream Color (t9)
