Looking at the poll sofar, Ridley Scott and Michael Mann are amongst the top - perhaps, as mixedmedia said, because they aren't overrated - they're rated well.
I actually find the most overrated director to be Martin Scorsese. He has the reputation of a god, yet only delivers movies that leave me with a satisfied experience. He's never really blown me away with anything he's done. Consistently above par execution does not equate brilliance. I'd rather rate someone as brilliant who has some misses in between some jaw-dropping, mind-blowing flicks.
