If he had one more classic movie to add to A New Hope and Grafitti I might consider adding him. But as a director, the bad outweighs the good.

As a producer, you'd have a better case, since he produced all of the SW movies, plus the Indiana Jones series, and cult favorites like Labyrinth and Willow.
I disagree. Maybe he did only direct A New Hope, but he revolutionized the entire movie industry. If it wasn't for what he did with Star Wars, guys like Steve Spielberg couldn't make the movies they do.
