Just my opinion (obviously), because I know that last movie is well-loved on IMDB, but I would go with Francois Truffaut. He made his best with his first one "400 Blows". His next one, "Shoot The Piano Player" was good, not great. "Jules and Jim" is decent, and then "Fahrenheit 451" and "Day For Night"
