Comment on 30 movie directors with movies with an IMDB rating higher and 7.5 and 50.000 votes

Why the 50k vote requirement? This basically ensures that only blockbuster films and their directors appear in this chart, with a near complete bias towards large American productions.

I’d guess to make sure the score was averaged across a decent sized pool to minimize outliers.

Yes, but it does introduce a bias. The Nolan scores illustrate that well. Best not to view this as some objectively the best metric.
It’d be interesting to provide different slices of the voting data to view different biases. Last time I looked at IMDb voting they had demographics too such as age and gender. Along with voting size, it’d be interesting to see different slices and what they like. Older women? Younger women with less than 10,000 votes? Films where older people liked it more than younger and vice versa?
