Pleasantly surprised to see John Woo and Lucio Fulci marking #1 and #4 with Speilberg and Hitchcock as 2 and 3.

Expected more of a Hitchcock, Speilberg, big budget big directors spread through my top ten, but it's actually a pretty precise look at where my movie-watching takes me, even including kaiju.

5-10:
Ridley Scott
Hark Tsui
John Carpenter
Terry Gilliam
Clint Eastwood
Ishirô Honda

It's been six years since I last posted and I've seen quite a few movies in that time (although, I'm sure, not as many as a lot of you). Updated list:

1. David Cronenberg (15 films, 76.67 avg)
2. Steven Spielberg (15 films, 74.67 avg)
3. Alfred Hitchcock (15 films, 73.33 avg)
4. Martin Scorsese (14 films, 76 avg)
5. Joel and Ethan Coen (14 films, 72.21 avg)
6. Robert Altman (12 films, 72 avg)
7. John Frankenheimer (10 films, 68.8 avg)
8. Christopher Nolan (8 films, 84.63 avg)
9. Paul Thomas Anderson (8 films, 82.5 avg)
10. Peter Jackson (8 films, 81 avg)

I also have 5 other directors that I've seen 8 films from (Stanley Kubrick, David Fincher, Ridley Scott, Robert Aldrich, and John Carpenter), but Nolan, PTA, and Jackson win out with the higher averages.

Steven Spielberg 60.96 27
Joel/Ethan Coen 76.41 17
Terry Gilliam 73.82 17
Takeshi Kitano 74.35 17
Alfred Hitchcock 76.20 15
Ingmar Bergman 78.87 15
Akira Kurosawa 83.79 14
Hayao Miyazaki 80.64 14
Takashi Miike 77.36 14
Stanley Kubrick 76.85 13
Tim Burton 61.85 13

I wouldn't count Spielberg among my favorite directors but I do think he's the quintessential Hollywood director, with easily digestable, entertaining popcorn flicks great for watching over a few beers with friends or when I'm too tired for something more serious.

Places 11-20, with 9-12 movies ranked, include many of my favorite directors: Kar-Wai Wong, Sion Sono, Masaki Kobayashi, Martin Scorsese, Quentin Tarantino, Ki-duk Kim, Chan-wook Park, Ji-woon Kim, Isao Takahata, Wes Anderson.
