I know it's not 1 to 1 correlation but you yourself ranked Blade Runner one spot over Incendies on your 2010s update.

I see these director tiers as more cinephile/critic focused than our decade lists.

His only movie that's on the top 500 list is not Gold??

I'm with you, MP. These tiers are subjective viewing recommendations not historically objective rankings.

I'm just surprised...because Dune is so well liked/acclaimed. Are you going purely by audience scores or something??

Well, because Dune 1 is just so much weaker than Dune 2, it's not even funny.

Part 2 is generally considered to be superior and Incendies + Arrival are clearly ahead of it on TSPDT.
