To update:

I ranked The Dilemma, and so Ron Howard moves up to 9 films, and I ranked another Looney Toons shorts, which technically puts Chuck Jones on my list, but I don't really count him.

Not much changes since last year, but D'Amato took the lead. It's interesting why I keep watching his films even though I don't rate them very high. But I can't really explain it logically.
1. Joe D'Amato 4.77 13 (+2)
2. Luis Buñuel 7.83 12
Dario Argento 7.42 12
4. Peter Greenaway 3.55 11
Federico Fellini 7.82 11 (+2)
Tim Burton 6.82 11
Takashi Miike 7.36 11 (+1)
8.David Lynch 5.40 10
Mario Bava 8.10 10
Hayao Miyazaki 9.10 10 (NEW)
Peter Jackson 7.40 10
