Examples include A Serious Man, Crazy Heart, No Country for Old Men and There Will Be Blood.

Haven't seen the other two, but No Country for Old Men and There Will Be Blood were both great movies. There Will Be Blood was better for acting and story, but No Country was not a bad movie by any means.
Yes, some directors are better than others, but my watching of a movie is not influenced by the director. I look at other things, like storyline or actors or how interesting it looks at the time What exactly does a director do, anyway?
