Okay, I used this method with a few modifications to generate my top 100. I'm pretty happy with the results. The top 9 especially are exactly how I would rank them without using any numbers.

Modifications:

* for Stan Brakhage (112 films seen), I averaged the top 30
* for directors with 9 to 11 films seen, I averaged the top 8
* I removed certain directors that I would never consider among my top 100, no matter what the numbers say
* for certain directors, I removed the lowest film from the average when I considered it to be an anomalous stinker in their career
* I included directors with 3 or 4 films seen, but deducted 10% from the average
* minor adjustments to rank directors with the same score
* selective trimming at the bottom of the list
