100? Wow that's a lot ... too much in fact, but here's my few 10/10s from imdb in alphabetical order, so Woody is in front:

 

Allen - Sleeper

Brooks - Young Frankenstein

Carpenter - The Thing

Crichton - A Fish Called Wanda

Dante - Gremlins 2

Jeunet - Amélie

Jones - Life of Brian

Lynch - The Straight Story

Parrot - The Music Box (That's a Laurel&Hardy short)

Reggio - Koyaanisqatsi

Reitherman - The Aristocats

Scott - Alien

 

Then there's a bunch of 9/10 but really that's too much work :lol:
