He's not one of my 50 favorites. I love the first 2 Lethal Weapon movies, but besides those I am indifferent to him as a director.

Ozu [#1] Tarkovsky [#2] Lynch [#5] Kubrick [#12] Bergman [#13] Coen [#16] Malick [#19] Allen [Top 50] Lang [Top 50] Altman [probably Top 50], could have easily been Hitchcock, Polanski or Jarmusch, I don't really rank past Top 10, only "know" 11-20 rankings from darksidebeadle's thread |

I have seen The Face of Another and The Turin Horse though and I like both.

Spielberg is easily my #1 pick because of so many great films. Jaws, Raiders, Close Encounters, Empire of the Sun, Schindler's List, Minority Report, Jurassic Park.

I can't disagree, though he has lost a lot of what made him great to begin with in the last 10 years or so. The quality of his filmmaking started to decline after Munich imo.

I picked 6. Not diverse enough for me.We have vastly different taste in movies, so that makes sense. I watched my first Robert Bresson movie a couple weeks ago btw. Pickpocket. Good movie.

There are only 9 out of the 50 listed that have at least two movies I score a 7/10 or higher and they are (IN NO ORDER)...
-Martin Scorsese (The Color of Money/The Departed/Casino/The Aviator/The Irishman)
-Ridley Scott (Gladiator/American Gangster)
-Roman Polanski (The Ninth Gate/Carnage)
-Quentin Tarantino (Django Unchained/Pulp Fiction/Kill Bill vol 2/The Hateful Eight)
-Coen Bro's (True Grit/Barton Fink/O Brother, Where Art Thou?/Blood Simple)
-Sam Mendes (Road to Perdition/Skyfall/Spectre)
-Mel Gibson (Braveheart/The Passion of the Christ)
-Tony Scott (The Last Boy Scout/Deja Vu/Top Gun/Days of Thunder)
-Brian De Palma (Scarface/Mission Impossible/Carlito's Way)
-Clint Eastwood (Gran Torino)
I went with Clint Eastwood for my 10th spot because for directors who only have one movie I score a 7/10 or higher, he's my #1 choice on the list for directors who only have one movie I score a 7/10 or higher since Gran Torino is a 10/10 for me and only six movies managed to pull that off.
p.s. the movies listed next to the director are the movies I scored a 7/10 or higher.

Not a stellar list. You leave out the very best ones. De Mille, Verhoeven, Ford.
