It's been over 4 years, so an update is in order. And wow, this list has changed;

1. Sergio Leone (5 films, 86 average, brand-new entry!)
2. Johnnie To (5 films, 80.8 average, brand-new entry!)
3. Sidney Lumet (7 films, 80.43 average)
4. Billy Wilder (6 films, 79.33 average, brand-new entry!)
5. Yuen Wo-Ping (6 films, 78.83 average)
6. Sammo Hung (8 films, 72.88 average)
7. Jackie Chan (7 films, 72.29 average)
8. David Zucker (6 films, 72.17 average, brand-new entry!)
9. Martin Scorsese (7 films, 72.14 average)
10. Mel Brooks (7 films, 71.86 average)

Leone gets in thanks to a credit on My Name is Nobody pulling him up to the required five films. To is one of my favorite directors and got to the five film minimum after I watched the outstanding Election series. Lumet is my all-time favorite, and it's strange I have only seen one more of his movies in such a long time, the outstanding Before the Devil Knows You're Dead. I had seen zero movies by Wilder during my last list, but he is a fine inclusion at 4th here. Also, Zucker gets in thanks to the hilarious Top Secret!.

Never heard of Guy Hamilton before, but he apparently directed some of my favorite Bonds, as well as the highly entertaining "Remo Williams" and "Evil under the Sun" (Hercule Poirot mystery). A couple of kung fu directors have incredibly high averages, but that's mostly because I have only seen their classic works, and not some of the garbage they mass-produced. Only Lumet and the Coen Brothers are among my list of all-time favorite directors.

1. Kenji Misumi 93.5 (4 films)
2. Lina Wertmüller 92.00 (2 films)
3. Andrzej Wajda 84.50 (2 films)
4. Johnny To 82.67 (3 films)
5. Takashi Miike 82.00 (5 films)

In general, the greater the number of films, the more the rating tends to get dragged down, since even an 80 is among my top ten percent.
