I wanted to vote for this list but you listed Akira Kurosawa and Stanley Kubrick's best films as their worst, so I can't. Also, I can't stand Inglorious Basterds and regard it as Tarentino's worst film by far, so we disagree on those few points. =P

Good list.. but come on.. Aliens as Cameron's worst film?

Not sure I agree with everything, but your list is pretty impressive!
