Many of these I would definitely consider among my favourite directors, and some are interesting that they are included. It will be interesting to see how list changes as I finish entering the 2000 or so more movies I have yet to enter.

AFlickering wrote:I'm only including directors by whom I've seen 2 or more films, though I might do another list with a 3 minimum when I can be bothered. People who've seen a lot more movies than me might want a higher minimum, or alternatively not waste their time on this thread.

Mine:
1. Andrei Tarkovsky 95.33 (3 films)
2. Wong Kar-Wai 93.5 (2 films)
3. Satoshi Kon 93 (2 films)
4. Akira Kurosawa 92.67 (6 films)
5. Milos Forman 91.5 (2 films)

Interesting that Forman sneaked onto the list, bet he'll drop pretty quickly when I see some of his less known works. Also interesting but not really surprising that my favourite director Herzog isn't up there - the score was dragged down by Nosferatu and Even Dwarfes Started Small even though they're still good.

8 years on, upping this to 4 minimum:
1. Paul Thomas Anderson 89.93 (6 films)
2. Robert Altman 89.20 (5 films)
3. Wes Anderson 88.80 (5 films)
4. David Lynch 87.00 (10 films)
5. John Cassavetes 86.88 (8 films)
6. Paul Verhoeven 85.25 (4 films)
7. Terence Malick 85.17 (6 films)
8. Sion Sono 82.67 (6 films)
9. Charlie Chaplin 81.67 (9 films)
10. Mike Leigh 81.20 (5 films)

for the record, my average ratings for those on my previous list now:
Andrei Tarkovsky 90.00 (2 films) - i've deleted two that i don't remember well enough.
Wong Kar-Wai 69.50 (4 films) - 3 deleted.
Satoshi Kon 85.33 (3 films)
Akira Kurosawa 72.40 (5 films) - 1 deleted.
Milos Forman 80.5 (2 films)

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...
