i think four was just the arbitrary number because pt and qt have four films and he is impressed by them.
Christopher Nolan's directive was clear to everyone in the cast and crew: Use CGI only as a last resort.

Fincher has... (i think i fucked up the order)

Alien 3
Fight Club
Seven
Panic Room

Panic Room wasn't horrible, but not worthy of 25%, so i'd say Fincher has a 65% great movie rate...

The Game came before Panic Room.

Terry Gilliams' first four are also quiet cool.

Brazil
Time Bandits
Jabberwocky
Monty Python And The Holy Grail

And Peter Jackson:

Heavenly Creatures
Braindead
Meet The Feebles
Bad Taste

But also the Hughes Brothers:

From Hell
American Pimp
Dead Presidents
Menace II Society

Hal Needham:

Smokey and the Bandit -- wonderful improv stuff between Burt Reynolds and Sally Field.  Exquisitely choreographed vehicular mayhem.  Jackie Gleason should've been up for Best Supporting Actor.

Hooper -- on the surface, a knockabout farce about macho stunt men, but it is also a self-reflexive look at the filmmaking process.

The Villain -- Arnold Schwarzenegger's first starring role, which displays his adroitness at light comedy.

Smokey and the Bandit 2 -- like Empire Strikes Back and Godfather 2, it expands upon and improves upon the original.
Music is your best entertainment value.

Darren Aronofsky (SPOILER for Requiem below):

Actually, I chose four ultimately because I feel that after four films, it's official whether or not the filmmaker has proven himself.  His work can offically be critiqued as a whole.

And....yeah...PTA and Tarantino had something to do with it.  I was just wondering if they were the only people who's had this phenomenal of a four film start.  Apparently, they are not, but they are 2 of no more than 10 others.
