Re: Top 5 Favorite Directors
Wow, dude you've ranked over 1600 films and only one of them is a Kurosawa?
My 5 in no particular order:
Akira Kurosawa. Seen 11, avg 93.89
Liu Chia Liang. Seen 10, avg 92
Takashi Miike. Seen 14, avg 76.43 (There's a couple of Miike films I really disliked which drags his avg down)
Quentin Tarantino. Seen 10, avg 85.5
Coen Brothers. Seen 9, avg 82.22
honorable mentions: Sam Peckinpah, Stanley Kubrick, Sergio Leone, John Woo, Chan Wook-Park and Terry Gilliam.

Re: Top 5 Favorite Directors
1.Martin Scorsese
2.David Fincher
3. Quentin Tarantino
4.Christopher Nolan
5.Terry Gilliam
Scorsese for me is the master of all film makers. His films are always good, no matter who he casts. His recent work with Dicaprio was able to turn Dicaprio from his Titanic image into oscar worthy in no matter what he does. David Fincher has had some bad films but because he is the director of the film I have seen the most "Fight Club" he gets the second spot on my list. I wrestled with the other three, Tarantino is a classic film maker, Nolan continues to amaze with his brilliance and Gilliam has had his fair share of criticism over the years and yet he still continues to make films as he sees fit.
