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!.
