He's a very diverse & talented director, IMHO.Other Directors I hold in high regard to a greater or lesser degree for their auteurship (i.e., based on a variety of factors that I'm pretty sure critics, both professional and armchair, would not be in universal accord):
FW Murnau
Terry Gilliam
Erick Von Stroheim
Charles Chaplin
John Huston
Fritz Lang
Orson Welles
Paul Verhooven
Josef Von Sternberg...etc., omitting the aforementioned Peter Jackson, Stephen Spielberg, Janes Cameron, Ridley Scott and numerous deserving European and Asian directors. Obviously this is an incomplete list, but a nice cross section.
