Anyways, my own list doesn't do a great job of showing off my favorites. Ignoring directors who only made animated shorts, I have;

1. Spielberg, 17 movies, 55.12
2. John Landis, 10 movies, 63.80
3. John Woo, 10 movies, 62.90
4. Francis Ford Coppola, 10 movies, 60.70
5. Tim Burton, 9 movies, 67.44 (high rating because I have watched so little of his post-95' trash)
6. Robert Rodriguez, 9 movies, 60.78
7. Richad Donner, 9 movies, 60.11
8. Ron Howard, 9 movies, 49.11 (only T4 or lower...)
9. Sammo Hung 8 movies, 72.88 (highest rating)
10. Joel and Ethan Coen, 8 movies, 70.75 (second highest rating)

Almost 9 years later, we have

1. Spielberg, 17 movies, 55.6 (doubt I will watching anything more he has made)
2. John Landis, 11 movies, 61.5
3. Ron Howard, 11 movies, 43.5 (awful average, by far the lowest of my list. Utterly shameless hack nowadays)
4. Tim Burton, 11 movies, 67.7 (I was unfair to him above; I watched two of his post-95' movies, Sleepy Hollow and The Corpse Bride, and both were pretty good, getting scores of 69 each)
5. Joel and Ethan Coen, 10 movies, 71.7 (highest average not counting kung-fu, continues to go up)
6. John Woo, 10 movies, 62.9
7. Sammo Hung, 9 movies, 73.4 (highest average)
8. Francis Ford Coppola, 9 movies, 60.4
9. Clint Eastwood, 9 movies, 61.0
10. Richard Donner, 9 movies, 60.0
11. Walter Hill, 9 movies, 61.2
12. Robert Rodriguez, 9 movies, 60.8

I wouldn't count Spielberg among my favorite directors but I do think he's the quintessential Hollywood director, with easily digestable, entertaining popcorn flicks great for watching over a few beers with friends or when I'm too tired for something more serious.

Places 11-20, with 9-12 movies ranked, include many of my favorite directors: Kar-Wai Wong, Sion Sono, Masaki Kobayashi, Martin Scorsese, Quentin Tarantino, Ki-duk Kim, Chan-wook Park, Ji-woon Kim, Isao Takahata, Wes Anderson.

Steven Spielberg 72.52 25
Joel & Ethan Coen 73.78 18
Martin Scorsese 74.61 18

Tim Burton 62.69 13
Woody Allen 70.45 11
