good call

I haven't seen all of his films, not by a long shot... but of what I have seen, I totally agree.

If we’re counting every single movie they’ve made, I doubt any directors meet this criteria. Even the Coens have a few middling movies.

Yeah, if we're sticking to the strict definition of "consistently" then I agree. Even the Coens have missed.

But that's not as much fun.

Tarantino. In my book, no misses, other than calling Unstoppable one of the 10 best movies of the last decade.

Gareth Edwards is the only one I can think of but he’s only made three movies.

Id give him a pass on that for being his first flick, a genre movie, blah blah blah. I think it succeeds as a movie given the constraints.
