Bold italics = Completed Filmography

Steven Spielberg - 24 (76.79)
Elia Kazan - 19 (69.89)
Martin Scorsese - 15 (88.33)
Coen Bros - 15 (83.07)
Richard Linklater - 15 (78.00)
Sam Raimi - 14 (62.14)
Steven Soderbergh - 13 (79.54)
Ridley Scott - 12 (71.5)
Jay Roach - 12 (58)
David Fincher - 11 (83.00)
Chris Nolan - 11 (76.36)
Robert Zemeckis - 11 (72.36)

It's hilarious to see that I've seen more Kazan films than Scorsese, because I literally only watched his filmography so that I could watch Scorsese's documentary about Kazan without spoilers. Aside from Kazan and Raimi, which I intentionally finished, the rest are representative of a combination of my taste and a bias towards filmmakers that make things that are casually watchable.

As far as best average score, Scorsese wins out of this bunch, but other contenders like QT, PTA, Lumet, Kubrick, W. Anderson, Herzog were cut off by the size of their filmography or my number of watches.
