Re: Which director have you seen the most films by?

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)
