Which director have you seen the most films by?

Post by Scottathon »

Woody Allen is my highest, at 33. Martin Scorsese and Steven Spielberg are tied for a distant second at 12.

All the ones with 12 or more that I could think of (counting only director credits, not writer or actor):

Ingmar Bergman - 40
Woody Allen - 35
Alfred Hitchcock - 34
Werner Herzog - 32
Satyajit Ray - 30
Akira Kurosawa - 26
Luis Bunuel - 26
Steven Spielberg - 17
Francois Truffaut - 15
Yasujiro Ozu - 15
Martin Scorsese - 15
Krzysztof Kieslowski - 14
David Lynch - 14
Peter Greenaway - 14
Jean-Luc Godard - 14

Damn.

For me, I think Kubrick and Spielberg are tied for the most with 14. I've seen 13 by Akira Kurosawa, but I recently bought the Postwar Kurosawa Eclipse set and have four more to watch.

Actually, I don't think I've ever seen over ten films by one single director. The only ones close enough I can think of are Spielberg and Kubrick, both at seven. Actually, it turns out I have seen eight by Woody Allen.

I've seen 15 Spielberg films with an average of 67.93

I doubt anyone else comes close. Although just today, I went through most of my tier 10 films looking for films for the Wishlist through directors and writers. I'd never really aimed for directors before. Not the ones I could get at, anyway.

Bergman - 9
Kubrick - 9
Linklater - 6


I've now seen 14 Chaplin films (quite a few shorts, of course).

I've seen 19 of David Lynch's films, and 11 of Stephen Spielberg's.. Beyond that I couldn't find anyone else with more than 10, though there probably are some.. I just can't be bothered looking around.
