Luc Besson ; because of... Angel-A(2005)(9/10)/The Big Blue(1988)(7/10). although I am sure he's most known for Leon (1994)(5/10)/The Fifth Element(1997)(6/10) with probably Nikita (1990) being the next in line. I would expect The Fifth Element (1997) to be his most widely known movie among the masses and that people generally like.
IMDb lists... The Fifth Element/Leon/Nikita/Lucy as his most known. but I suspect Lucy is a little too new and has to be the least known of those four among the masses in my estimations as I suspect it's on his known for list mainly because it's recent and Scar Jo is in it.
@ OP ; I like Le Samourai (1967) (6-6.5/10 ; within my Top 237 movies) but, at least for me, Besson has him easily beat. in fact, Luc Besson is the only director that managed to pull off a movie I scored a 9/10 (or higher) that has basically a no-name cast (i.e. Angel-A (2005) (9/10)). come to think of it... there are not many movies among My Favorite Movies in general (i.e. movies I score a 7/10 or higher) that have no-name (or semi no-name) casts. but anyways, I have seen two movies from the OP's director. the one I mentioned and Le Cercle Rouge (1970) (5/10).

Jean-Pierre Jeunet or maybe Luc Besson.
My favourite French films are by other directors, but these two for me have been consistent

Among current ones, J-P Jeunet I guess.
All time, I don't know, Éric Rohmer maybe?

As I mentioned before, Philippe de Broca has a head start for me.

From what I have heard about His Film "BLUE IS THE WARMEST COLOUR" and what he supposedly 'made' his 2 Main Stars in the Film do in it, I think that the Worst French Movie Director may be Abdellatif Kechiche.

From the one's I've seen, I always have got more of a buzz of enjoyment from more films by Jean Luc Besson and François Truffaut than some other french directors, but am always open to new experiences.

Have to admit I haven't seen a lot of French film, but I like Rene Clement.
Purple Noon
Is Paris Burning?
I like André Hunebelle also for his OSS 117 films.
I watched Godard's Breathless last night, it was very interesting and i enjoyed it.

I don't watch many mainstream French movies so I'll have to say Jean Jabely for the erotic Cinemax comedy "Venus"(1984).
