P.T. Anderson

Overrated: Boogie Nights
Underrated: Magnolia

Scorsese

Overrated: The Departed
Underrated: The King of Comedy / Shutter Island

David Fincher

Overrated: Fight Club
Underrated: Benjamin Button (*audience boos*)

Spielberg

Underrated: A.I. (his most misunderstood!)

I'd also say Coppola's most underrated is The Conversation but I can't imagine any of his work from the 70s being overrated.
