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)

Re: Top 5 Director Averages

I'll go minimum of 4, since my entire top 5 has 4 films. I could go to 5 but then Satoshi Kon would be cut and that would make me sad. So all of the below have 4 films.

Edgar Wright: 90.75
Satoshi Kon: 90.00
Michael Winterbottom: 89.75
Michael Mann: 89.75
Brad Bird: 89.50

Bottom 3:
Guy Hamilton: 57.25
Michael Bay: 67.00
Robert Rodriguez: 68.00 (The Sharkboy and Lavagirl effect)

Re: Top 5 Director Averages

Based on three, because I do quite like Brad Bird:

Edgar Wright 90.75 4
Satoshi Kon 90.00 4
Brad Bird 90.00 3
Michael Mann 89.75 4
Michael Winterbottom 89.75 4

If I bumped it up to four Seijun Suzuki would make it to the list with an average of 88.

Re: Top 5 Director Averages

I just picked a few directors that I've seen a good number (at least four) of films by and whose films I figure I typically like. Here are my highest:

Kar Wai Wong 91 (4)
Stanley Kubrick: 90.75 (4)
Martin Scorsese 89.43 (7)
Quentin Tarantino 89.43 (7)
Alfred Hitchcock 86.33 (9)

... and the others.
Wes Anderson 85.2 (5)
Joel Coen 83.09 (11)
Satoshi Kon 81.5 (4)
Hayao Miyazaki 80.2 (5)

Spielberg, the director from whom I've seen the most films (14), has an average of 62.71.

Re: Top 5 Director Averages

Well, I didn't look up EVERY director, but the most likely candidates, and came up with:

1. Anh-Hung Tran - 94.67 (3 films)
2. Ming-Liang Tsai - 92.56 (9 films)
3. Emir Kusturica - 88.43 (7 films)
4. Kenji Mizoguchi - 86.5 (6 films)
5. Francois Truffaut - 86.22 (9 films)

While these are all among my favorite directors, the ones I'm REALLY fanatical about (Bergman, Herzog, Hitchcock, Bunuel, Satyajit Ray, Kurosawa) have lower scores. This is because they have large bodies of work and I've tried to see as much of it as I can... including their failures. Tran, Tsai, and Kusturica haven't done a whole lot. And Mizoguchi and Truffaut each have a LOT of films I haven't seen yet.

Here are my scores for the ones AFlickering posted:

Andrei Tarkovsky 73.57 (7 films)
Wong Kar-Wai 75.86 (7 films)
Satoshi Kon 53 (1 film)
Akira Kurosawa 81.92 (26 films)
Milos Forman 79.14 (7 films)

Top 5 Director Averages

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.
