I could see Crooklyn on his list as well considering it's one of his higher ranked films on tspdt.
SGHI wins influence easily. BlacKkKlansman wins popularity easily. I'd give BlacKkKlansman initial and audience acclaim, SGHI lasting and popular acclaim. Overall, BlacKkKlansman's acclaim wins seem a little more decisive than SGHI's.
I'm not completely opposed to adding Crooklyn but don't see it as a necessary move either. Other opinions?

Got to look at Hideaki Anno after all:

1. Neon Genesis Evangelion (TV series, 1995-1996)
2. The End of Evangelion (1997)
3. Evangelion 3.0+1.0: Thrice Upon a Time (2021)
4. Shin Godzilla (2016)
5. Nadia: The Secret of Blue Water (TV series, 1990-1991)
6. Evangelion 2.0: You Can (Not) Advance (2009)
7. Aim for the Top! Gunbuster (TV series, 1988-1989)
8. Evangelion 3.33: You Can (Not) Redo (2012)
9. Love & Pop (1998)
10. Shiki-Jitsu (2000)
Here's what I suggest:
Hideaki Anno (1960-)
1. Neon Genesis Evangelion [TV series] (1995-1996)
2. The End of Evangelion [with Kazuya Tsurumaki] (1997)
3. Evangelion 3.0+1.0: Thrice Upon a Time [with Kazuya Tsurumaki, Katsuichi Nakayama & Mahiro Maeda] (2021)
4. Shin Godzilla [with Shinji Higuchi] (2016)
5. Evangelion: 1.0 You Are (Not) Alone [with Masayuki & Kazuya Tsurumaki] (2007)
6. Nadia: The Secret of Blue Water [with Shinji Higuchi] (1990-1991)
7. Evangelion 2.0: You Can (Not) Advance [with Masayuki & Kazuya Tsurumaki] (2009)
8. Shiki-Jitsu (2000)
9. Gunbuster (1988-1989)
10. Evangelion 3.0: You Can (Not) Redo [with Mahiro Maeda, Kazuya Tsurumaki & Masayuki] (2012)
"Evangelion 1.0" is among the few of his works listed on TSPDT, is among his most popular works and I'd give it some influence for successfully starting the "Rebuild" tetralogy. Shiki-Jitsu also seems to be very acclaimed so I'd have it higher than Sherick did. "Love & Pop" appears relatively insignificant to me.

Fair enough on SGHI and Blackkklansman.
I'd say Crooklyn's win in popularity is bigger than 4 Little Girls' in acclaim, considering Crooklyn has a pretty significant advantage on tspdt.

Probably correct, but I'd give Blackkklansman some influence credit for being John David Washington's breakout as a leading man. Either way, kind of seems like Blackkklansman is properly placed.

That's pretty minor as compared with She's Gotta Have It's influence which is cited as a milestone within both African American and independent cinema.

The first is just a slightly-altered recap of the TV series, hence its popularity. I would not call that an influence win since this was a planned series and 1.0 only starts the recap which is continued and climaxed in 2.0. The degree of flop it would have had to have been to stop the second one from happening is almost inconceivable. Really Nadia should be ahead of it, for popularity, influence and maybe acclaim.

Also, I know I'm late on this, shouldn't Get Smart be on Mel Brooks' list?

He wrote it but didn't direct it, and, according to Wikipedia: "had little involvement with the series after the first season"
