Re: Top 5 Director Averages

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)

another (nearly) 3 months and this time somewhere in the range of 320 films later (!) it's changed a lot again:

but i can do a minimum of 5 now:

83.81 ingmar bergman (16)
81.25 lars von trier (16)
79.00 terrence malick (5)

75.00 abbas kiarostami (8)
74.86 federico fellini (7)
73.20 ethan & joel coen (10)

this is very similar to my personal list of top ten directors, but i'd substitute tarkovsky & fellini for lynch & polanski.

Re: Top 5 Director Averages

My top 5 from what I can gather is:

Robert Altman (5 films) - 91.75 average
Terrence Malick (4 films) - 91 average
Sidney Lumet (5 films) - 88 average
Joel & Ethan Coen (12 films) - 83.25 average
Francois Truffaut (11 films) - 82.91 average
I agree with the last 1, just haven't seen enough from the top 3 to weed them out (or keep them).

Others:

Paul Thomas Anderson (10 films) - 78.5 average
Jim Jarmusch (9 films) - 78.33 average
Wes Anderson (8 films) - 76.63 average
Martin Scorsese (19 films) - 75.26 average
Quentin Tarantino (10 films) - 74.7 average
Francis Ford Coppola (12 films) - 72.58 average
Woody Allen (42 films) - 70.76 average
David Lean (11 films) - 70.36 average
Jean-Luc Godard (14 films) - 69.86 average

Sad that we are still waiting for this feature 2+ years after the OP though :(
