This is an off-shoot of my Top Directors: By Points list; see that list for an explanation of the points.
Format: Name (average) [total points/# of movies]
A director has to have at least two ranked movies to qualify. 11/16/05: Just to shake things up a bit, a director now needs 3 ranked movies to qualify.
Should change considerably once I get more ratings under my belt.
Go here to find out what movies are included in the calculations.
And this is the rating system used for the films in question:
100-97 = Masterpiece (A)
96-90 = Fantastic; best of the year (A-)
89-80 = Remarkable (B+)
79-70 = Very Good (B)
69-60 = Good (B-)
59-50 = Okay (C+)
49-40 = Mediocre (C)
39-30 = Bad (C-)
29-20 = Horrible (D+)
19-10 = Torture (D)
9-1 = Would end a war if dropped on opposing country (D-)
0 = Uwe Boll (F)
I really like this idea of discovering the consistency of a filmmaker through the average score of his/her movies. One thing that would help, if it weren't too much work, would be to list in parentheses which films have gone into the ratings. Especially for prolific filmmakers like Welles, Altman, or Bergman, I'd like to see which films you've considered. I know you have another list of all the films you've rated, but it's not so easy to go back and forth.
Great list, though. I'm going to keep checking in...

Sing it with me: Cuz I'm easy... I'm easy like Sunday mornin'.
(Thought it best to make it its own page, since technically there are two lists that refer to it.)
Lemme know whatcha think!
Wow! If only everything I wished for came about this easily. Very impressive, Kza.

Thanks!
Very nice stuff, man.
I'm going to make a list of every movie I've ever seen, by director, and now I think I'll add a little average for each director. :-)
Cool! Let me know when you got the page set up.
