67 in total. Probably not as high as I might have liked, and it certainly provides incentive to see more films by international directors. The only "foreign" names that seem to pop out are Del Toro and the director of the Pokemon films.

Up to 109 now.

92 is way more than I thought I had (assuming three directing teams: Wachowskis, Farrellys, Coens). And I'm feeling wily so I posted them all.

Begs the question, who the hell is George Miller, and why have I seen NINE of his films?

27 (28 if you count both Coens... but that's cheating)

Wes Anderson, Tim Burton, Ethan Coen & Joel Coen, Chris Columbus, Francis Ford Coppola, David Fincher, Terry Gilliam, Michel Gondry, Werner Herzog, Alfred Hitchcock, Peter Jackson, Ki-duk Kim, Sam Mendes, Hayao Miyazaki, Errol Morris, Christopher Nolan, Chan-wook Park, Sam Raimi, Jay Roach, Martin Scorsese, Ridley Scott, Kevin Smith, Steven Spielberg, Quentin Tarantino, Guillermo del Toro, Billy Wilder, Kar Wai Wong

Disappointingly banal list, I think. Only thing that stands out to me are the South Korean auteurs.

I guess it's not entirely surprising considering how many of the movies I've ranked are by less-than-prolific documentary filmmakers. I'll come back in a year and hopefully, it will have improved.

Since the new Filmmaker List feature has a default value of 5, how many directors have you seen 5 or more films by?

Also, if your list isn't too unwieldy, or perhaps if it is rather unwieldy but you're feeling bold, post the lot.
