Kinda fucked up that there are people in the world that would rank both Aronofsky and Nolan as bottom ten directors. I think both have an entry on my list of top 10 favorite films. I realize different tastes and all, but I can't help but get a strong scent of pretentiousness.

Anything below a 75 is a film I wouldn't recommend to someone else, and would try to actively avoid watching again. If I rank it above 50, that means I found at least something in the film redeemable. Hopefully this explains my "higher" score averages.

You've ranked at least 4 films from 252 directors

10. Chris Columbus, 52.13, 8 films

I guess I saw and ranked Percy Jackson and Beth Cooper since last June. Both were bad films, each in their own ways, but I guess they bumped him up a point and placed him at #10 instead of way down at #7.

9. Roger Spottiswoode, 52.00, 5 films

Nothing changed here, just that he squeezed onto the list. Stop! Or my Mom Will Shoot put him here, almost entirely by itself.

8. M. Night Shyamalan, 51.6, 5 films

I must have adjusted some his scores a little bit since then. I do play with them every now and then. He dropped 0.4 points.

7. Peter Segal, 50.5, 4 films

Again, just an adjustment in his scores over time.

6. Stephen Herek, 49.83, 6 films

5. Jon Turteltaub, 48.67, 6 films

I saw Sorcerer's Apprentice, and I guess I ranked it a 57, which skewed his scores up a little bit.

4. Frank Coraci, 48.25, 4 films

Another case of adjusting his films slightly lower over time.

3. Amy Heckerling, 45.5, 4 films

Made a mistake last time with the numbers. I included a film in which she wrote but did not direct.

2. Tom Shadyac, 43.14, 7 films

A rare case of actually increasing one of his film's scores. Still not enough to make up for all those crap movies.

1. Brian Levant, 35.4, 5 films

Some big drops, here. Must be Snow Dogs. I think I remember dropping that film by 20 points last time I adjusted my rankings.

Rob Cohen actually climbed to a 53.75 ranking without having seen any additional films by him. I think I'm being less harsh on the Fast and the Furious.

Wow, some people have really crappy tastes in movies.

10. M. Night Shyamalan, 52.00, five films

Gave the Sixth Sense a 79, really good film. Everything else was downhill. Lady in the Water is the low film, actually ranking lower than The Last Airbender. Those were a 32 and a 20.

9. Peter Segal, 51.25, 4 films

Get Smart was clever enough to score a 65 for me, but really it was his decision to do Nutty Professor II that put him on my bottom 10. It's the only film below 50.

8. Rob Cohen, 51.25, 4 films

The Bruce Lee film was his highest ranking one with a 68. Hated Fast and Furious, though, and that garnered him a 40. That and Daylight brought his overall score down.

7. Chris Columbus, 51.17, 6 films

Gotta give credit to the director of The Goonies and the first couple of entertaining Harry Potter films, but he should stay away from movies starring Robin Williams. God Mrs. Doubtfire is one of the worst movies of all time.

6. Steven Herek, 50.17, 6 films

Bill and Ted was ok (69), but the live action 101 Dalmatians was painful to watch. I guess I was too old for it, or too fond of the Disney version. I also really didn't like Mr. Holland's Opus. With those films, his score almost dropped to below 50.

5. Frank Coraci, 50.00, 4 films

A few decent Adam Sandler comedies, that don't rank that high in the grand scheme of things, coupled with Click, probably the worst movie Adam Sandler will ever do. I hate it when comedic actors try to do something touching and meaningful. Movie made me want to vomit.

4. Amy Heckerling, 45.5, 5 films

European Vacation was an awesome film, classic Chevy Chase. Doesn't make up for the Look Whose Talking trilogy, which gives me one of the few directors to actually score an average lower than 50, the first of four. You know it's going to get painful now.

3. Jon Turteltaub, 45.4, 5 films

Instinct was ok. Just ok. National Treasure was a fucking sham of a film, with so many better movies in the same general genre. He ruined himself back in '92 when he made 3 Ninjas.

2. Tom Shadyac, 41.29, 7 films

Two decent outings with Ace Ventura and Bruce Almighty, and then a shit ton of awful films. Dragonfly, Evan Almighty, Liar Liar, The Nutty Professor, and Patch Adams. Patch Adams was one of the worst movies of all time, in my opinion, based on subject matter alone.

1. Brian Levant, 39.4, 5 films

Surprisingly, Levant doesn't have any movies that are below 30 on my list, but he doesn't have anything over 55 either. Just a bunch of shitty movies aimed at kids. Maybe he'd be one of my top 10 directors if I was 5.

10. Peter Segal (31.00, 3)
9. Roger Spottiswoode (30.67, 3)
8. Brian Levant (30.00, 4)

1. Dennis Dugan (18.33, 3)
