I've viewed the most from Spielberg, followed by Hitchcock and Scorsese.

Since my last update in April, the only number at the top that's changed by more than one is the number of Jess Franco films I've seen, which currently sits at 35, meaning I've watched 13 Franco films in the last 6 months.

That probably makes me the resident Franco "expert", despite the fact that 35 films represents less than 20% of his directorial output.

:lol:

If anyone needs to know anything about obscure Eurosmut, I'm your guy. ;)
