I've only seen three Ozu films, Late Spring, Early, Summer, Tokyo Story, but I've ranked them all 100

The director is Samuel Armstrong (Fantasia, Dumbo, Bambi), though maybe I should rewatch Bambi again in case I want to bump it to rank 10 too. And since those are the only movies he has director credit, he will probably stay unchallenged.

My top actors are Anton Walbrook (Red Shoes, La Ronde, The Life and Death of Colonel Blimp)
Yôko Minamida (House, Yôkihi, Bakumatsu taiyoden) and
Rex Harrison (The Ghost and Mrs Muir, My Fair Lady, Unfaithfully Yours)


I did a bit of shifting in my rankings (spreading them out, moving some highly rated films even higher and lowly rated even lower) and now I have ended with two perfect tens.

Samuel Armstrong is now the perfect director, and as mentioned, since he has only those three directing credits he will probably keep his spot unless my standards radically change.
(and the next spots are four 9.33 directors)

Now there's also a perfect ten actress, who's a bit of "who?": Anna Lee. Who managed to get bit parts in three good movies, though based on the rest of her discography, she'll probably come down should I get around to watching those films.
(9 actors are 9.67)

Still no screenwriters. Satoshi Kon and Matsutarô Kawaguchi sit at 9.67.

I expected this to be 0 and it was. Seems like quite an impossible feat to make several movies and they all be masterpieces, considering all the moving parts involved.

My highest was Emir Kusturica with a 9.67 average tier based on 3 films: Black Cat, White Cat, Arizona Dream and Time of the Gypsies.

Hal Ashby, 4 films, 9.25 average tier
Sidney Lumet, 6 films, 9.00 average tier
Roman Polanski, 5 films, 9.00 average tier

I have one actor with a perfect 10, someone who I legitimately have never heard of until today: Henri Attal. He must've just been a bit player in several Godard films in the early 60's.

And one writer with a perfect 10: Clyde Bruckman but writing a Buster Keaton movie is not impressive to me, it was all about the stunts.

I only have Leo G. Carroll as a perfect tenner, with North by Northwest, Strangers on a Train and Rebecca.
