It's a really hard question to answer because you don't have the legacy factor. You really need to stand back and see how Memento will view in ten years to decide whether it was a film of its time or a classic.
There are, however, alot of guys to get excited about. I'm loving the move back towards auteurs headed by guys like P.T. Anderson and the Coens. It can obviously never be a hard and fast rule, but when one person is with the film from start to end you tend to get a more complete and satisfying film. It's harder to water down a great script when the same guys are shooting the movie.
There are lots of people who have only made a couple of films who could be great: David Fincher, Steven Soderbergh (okay, he's made quite a few films, but not that many great ones), Alexander Payne, Ang Lee (though I think Croutching Tiger was a step in the wrong direction), Quentin Tarantino and Darren Aronofsky the best examples that come to mind at short notice. Richard Kelly is another one who looks hot, but with only one film under his belt and all...
I wouldn't be so quick to belittle Spielberg either. Without him the landscape of modern cinema would be very different. People forget that he was one of the main players in giving birth to the thriving indie scene we now have. Sure, its nice to think of Fonda and Hopper bringing down the studio system with one film, but it was largly Spielberg, Coppola, Lucas and Scorsese who (with a little help from their friends) took the risks and proved films could be made independently.

Armageddon
The Matrix
Goodfellas (easily one of the best films ever made)
Robocop
Can't really pick a 5th, probably Aliens, The Thing, T2 or something.
