After reading Denizen's post about Franco I wanted to say that he's the biggest masochist on this forum, but now I can see that this title belongs to you. :lol:

I've become more obsessive about my logging, so here are my most-seen directors by total duration of the films seen. In the case of films with multiple directors, the duration is divided evenly between the directors, so the numbers aren't perfect because of GONE WITH THE WIND and such.

Woody Allen (45 films, 4021 mins)
Eric Rohmer (28, 2557)
Alfred Hitchcock (23, 2511)
Billy Wilder (21, 2477)
Martin Scorsese (17, 2069)
François Truffaut (22, 2053)
Steven Spielberg (13, 1677)
Howard Hawks (17, 1562)
William Wyler (13, 1493)
John Ford (14, 1483)
Stanley Kubrick (12, 1462)
Robert Altman (11, 1391)
Steven Soderbergh (13, 1349)
Jean-Luc Godard (17, 1255)
Werner Herzog (13, 1200)
George Cukor (11, 1151)
Krzysztof Kieslowski (7, 1139)
Akira Kurosawa (8, 1018)

Heh, you can make some amusing observations based on the average length of their pictures. Allen, Rohmer, Godard and Herzog are crisp, breezy, and fast-paced. (An attribute I generally like)

Kieslowski makes ridiculously long pictures.

Sometimes it's a single outlier, like here. His films are actually rather short, but the Decalogue is a 10 episode miniseries which ups the average.
