Top 5 Director Averages

[synthono]

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.

On the contrary Scorsese hasn't directed a genuinely great film since After Hours.

what the fuck

Jean Luc-Godard 99.15 (13 Films Seen)

what the fuck

Those are two of the least confusing comments in this thread.

1. Wes Anderson - 94.17 (6)
2. Mike Nichols - 91. 25 (4)
3. Christopher Nolan - 90.71 (7)
4. Sidney Lumet - 88.33 (3)
5. David Zucker - 87 (5)

Ron Howard should be in my top 5 but Dr. Seuss' how the Grinch stole Christmas really kills his average for me.

Edit: I've been watching a lot of movies recently and this is how my top 5 has changed.

1. Wes Anderson - 92.5 (8)
2. Mike Nichols 91.25 (4)
3. Sidney Lumet - 90 (4)
4. Christopher Nolan - 88.75 (8)
5. David Zucker - 87 (5)

with a 6 film minimum:

1- Ingmar Bergman (97.00, 9 films)
2- Luis Buñuel (94.17, 6 films)
3- Andrei Tarkovsky (92.82, 11 films)
4- Werner Herzog (92.55, 11 films)
5- Abel Ferrara (92.33, 6 films)

I'm a bit surprised to see Buñuel and Ferrara in there, but the rest is pretty much what I expected

Taika Waititi - 93,5 (2)
Charles Chaplin - 91 (5)
