That is an interesting question, and let me start with one suggestion, and perhaps later more will come to my mind.

Years ago, when we had already seen many films, but did not have it all organized in any meaningful fashion, we simply took one of the "5000 movies" kind of books... don't recall which one. We then proceeded to rent every five-star film in it first, then the four-star ones.

That allowed us to put what we did know into right perspective, and to also discover plenty of stuff we didn't know existed.

One can always make an argument that some five-star ones are not great, and some two-star ones are just underappreciated, but you will catch at least 90% of worthwhile ones this way.

The beauty of this approach is that you will be truly randomly puling good movies - so Wim Wenders might sit next to Kozintsev - something that would never happen otherwise, if people simply submitted the lists of their favorite directors.

Once you stumble on a director that impresses you during this random pull, you can always dig deeper into his filmography, of course.

It worked great for us.
