3-film minimum. Looks like Aronofsky didn't make it.

10. George Lucas 31.8
- Making this list is a truly impressive accomplishment considering how high I've ranked the 1st Star Wars Trilogy and 1st Raiders movie. Without the nostalgia goggles, he'd be probably be lower.

9. Todd Phillips 29.7

8. Ben Sharpsteen 29.7
- Had to look him up. Classic (mostly) Disney films.

7. Ishirô Honda 29.6
- Somewhat sad to see him here, but can't say it's wrong.

6. Zack Snyder 28
- Probably my most truly disliked director on this list, although I don't question his technical skill.

5. William Friedkin 27.3

4. Kinji Fukasaku 23.3

3. Shun'ya Itô 22.7
- Had to look him up. Female Prisoner Scorpion series.

2. Lilly/Lana Wachowski 16.7

1. Roland Emmerich 13

Moribunny, I've noticed this in other forum posts, but we have radically different tastes. I am definitely curious about the types of films you do rank high. And I've taken note. I am honestly eager to go down that "rabbit hole", pun intended, as I generally enjoy a broad variety, but like... you hated Parasite? You hated Parasite THAT much? I get thinking it's overrated, or even boring, I guess, but there's got to be some strong ideological reasons for hating Bong Joon-ho. I think I've only seen Parasite and The Host, but even the biggest hater can't honestly rank them THAT low.

Or maybe the explanation is that you just don't consume and rank, even accidentally, the Kangaroo Jacks and Look Who's Talking Nows of the film world.
I do tend to avoid the "Look Who's Talking Nows" altogether, and I have noticed that it messes up my rankings because movies I think are perfectly alright are getting pushed to under my 50% percentile. Still, Bong Joon-ho is terrible and Parasite specifically was like a torture session for me. I would probably rate "Look Who's Talking Now" higher, if I were to watch it.
