It is:

1. Woody Allen (67.78) 27
2. Martin Scorsese (71.27) 15
3. Brother Coen (72.08) 13
4. Akira Kurosawa (71.69) 13
5. Tim Burton (61.91) 11
6. Richard Donner (57.40) 10
7. Joel Schumacher (53.90) 10
8. David Cronenberg (65.50) 10
9. Alfred Hitchcock (73.90) 10
10. Charles Chaplin (78.20) 10

Obviously I'm a big fan W. Allen :lol: ... Shure there are for me on the first look some surprises like Richard Donner (but then Lethal Weapon series was responsible for that). And ofc there is Joel Schumacher which movie only like is Falling Down.
