Re: Who are the ten directors you have seen the most films by?

I'm only including directors of feature length films. (This is kind of a difficult list as some of my favorite directors haven't even directed 20 films.)

4) Jing Wong 63.91 32
5) Yasujiro Ozu 70.19 31
6) Akira Kurosawa 82.79 29
7) Hark Tsui 67.52 27
8) Sammo Kam-Bo Hung 76.88 25
9) Woo-Ping Yuen 76.48 25
10) Kenji Mizoguchi 64.79 24

As for Shorts

1) Chuck Jones 57.82 159
2) Georges Méliès 40.27 157
3) Jules White 43.17 123
4) Friz Freleng 46.25 95

Re: Who are the ten directors you have seen the most films by?

Steven Spielberg 60.96 27
Joel/Ethan Coen 76.41 17
Terry Gilliam 73.82 17
Takeshi Kitano 74.35 17
Alfred Hitchcock 76.20 15
Ingmar Bergman 78.87 15
Akira Kurosawa 83.79 14
Hayao Miyazaki 80.64 14
Takashi Miike 77.36 14
Stanley Kubrick 76.85 13
Tim Burton 61.85 13

I wouldn't count Spielberg among my favorite directors but I do think he's the quintessential Hollywood director, with easily digestable, entertaining popcorn flicks great for watching over a few beers with friends or when I'm too tired for something more serious.

Places 11-20, with 9-12 movies ranked, include many of my favorite directors: Kar-Wai Wong, Sion Sono, Masaki Kobayashi, Martin Scorsese, Quentin Tarantino, Ki-duk Kim, Chan-wook Park, Ji-woon Kim, Isao Takahata, Wes Anderson.

1. Werner Herzog - 48
2. Alfred Hitchcock - 44
3. Roger Corman - 31
4. Howard Hawks - 29

Include Buster Keaton and Chia-Liang Liu for directors I've seen 20 or more by.

There are 66 directors on my list of "seen 10 or more", including such b-legends as Walter Hill, J. Lee Thompson, Godfrey Ho, Stuart Gordon, Chang Cheh, Lucio Fulci, Charles Band, Lloyd Kaufman, Albert Pyun (lol), Larry Cohen, Brian Trenchard-Smith and Wei Lo.
