...but what the hell. Here's mine. Don't agree? Deal with it

Stanley Kubrick
Darren Aronofsky
Wes Anderson
Martin Scorsese
Francis Ford Coppola
Paul Thomas Anderson
Sofia Coppola
Woody Allen
Brian DePalma
Terence Malick
Gus Van Zant
Ang Lee
Clint Eastwood
Roman Polanski
John Carpenter
Quentin Tarantino

I agree that they are hit-and-miss, but I would say their only good ones are Lebowski, Raising Arizona, and Hudsucker Proxy. Then there's a few mediocre ones, and a lot of horrible ones.
