Pretty surprised people have such recognizable names, the only one in my bottom ten that is famous is DW Griffith at #6. My #1 is Simon Wincer who I've never even heard of before.

I'm also going with a 3 film minimum, so I can showcase the truly bad directors.

Joe Johnston 36.75 4
David Zucker 33.50 4
Jon Turteltaub 33.33 3
Michael Bay 33.33 3
Dennis Dugan 32.25 4
Robert Rodriguez 28.25 4
Shawn Levy 26.33 3
Keenen Ivory Wayans 22.67 3
Jason Friedberg 9.50 4
Aaron Seltzer 8.80 5

Robert Rodriguez probably doesn't deserve to be on there, but the Spy Kids series drags his score down.
