I was never happy with existing top lists. IMDb is too much about popularity, mubi however can be too elitist when it comes to popular films. In my opinion, that is. So what if you combine the platforms to create a "Canon" made by the Internet?As of now, I calculated the average of 744 directors.How: The average of mubi, IMDb and letterboxd, but only the best five. For every film depending on its rating, the average got some points plus (6.6-7.4: +0.005, 7.6-8.4: +0.01 etc.. And some other minor things like each short film rated 7.6+ gets 0.1.Why five films? For many reasons; mainly that there are many directors who made tons of films for financial reasons and some truly for art's sake, or just were not liked many times, and the purpose here is not to observe them at their worst, but at their best.I made it for directors, but simultaneously made a list with the best rated films (in the top ten are Godfather, Harakiri, Godfather 2, The Human Condition 3, Seven Samurai, Pulp Fiction, Satantango, 12 Angry Men, The Shawshank Redemption, Come and See).Anyway: Here it is. It can never be completed, but I think it's a great orientation.I also included their respective best rated film.8.99: Akira Kurosawa------Seven Samurai (1954)8.98: Masaki Kobayashi------Harakiri (1962)8.94: Satyajit Ray------Pather Panchali (1955)8.89: Alfred Hitchcock------Vertigo (1958)8.85: Ingmar Bergman------Fanny and Alexander (1983)8.82: Charlie Chaplin------Modern Times (1936)8.80: Stanley Kubrick------2001: A Space Odyssey (1968)8.79: Krzysztof Kieslowski------A Short Film About Love (1989)8.79: Yasujiro Ozu------Tokyo Story (1953)8.78: Hayao Miyazaki------Spirited Away (2001)8.78: Kenji Mizoguchi------Sansho the Bailiff (1954)8.72: Andrei Tarkovsky------Stalker (1979)8.69: Buster Keaton------Sherlock Jr. (1924)8.67: Fritz Lang------M (1931)8.64: Billy Wilder------Sunset Blvd. (1950)8.61: Francis Ford Coppola------The Godfather (1972)8.60: Mikio Naruse------Yearning (1964)8.53: Martin Scorsese------Taxi Driver (1976)8.52: Luis Bunuel------The Young and the Damned (1950)8.52: Sergio Leone------The Good, the Bad and the Ugly (1966)8.51: Federico Fellini------8 1/2 (1963)8.51: Robert Bresson------A Man Escaped (1956)8.49: Abbas Kiarostami------Close-Up (1990)8.49: Lee Unkrich------Toy Story 3 (2010)8.48: Edward Yang------A Brighter Summer Day (1991)8.44: Rainer Werner Fassbinder---Berlin Alexanderplatz (1980)8.44: Quentin Tarantino------Pulp Fiction (1994)8.43: Satoshi Kon------Perfect Blue (1997)8.42: Carl Theodor Dreyer------Ordet (1955)8.42: Sohrab Shahid Saless------Roses for Africa (1991)8.41: John Ford------The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance (1962)8.40: Tengiz Abuladze------The Wishing Tree (1976)8.40: F.
