Oliver Stone is the runaway winner. He's like late period Pacino - he's only good if he's very, very restrained. But that basically hasn't happened since, what? Platoon? Born on the Fourth of July?
Also, the list that inspired the OP was written by Breitbart, a crazy rightwing nut who has decided it is his task in life to take on Hollywood on behalf of God. Generally speaking, I'm inclined to believe the exact opposite of any list he puts together. I mean, he says Hitchcock is the most overrated director of all time! That said, I actually agree with him on Michael Mann. I hate saying that of a fellow Chicagoan, but has never made a great movie, and only a few good ones.
