Looking through my ratings....it seems like Quentin Tarantino is the only director who fits the criteria for me, the only thing of his I haven't seen is an early short. I'm only missing two features from Sergio Leone, his two earliest. A lot of the directors I've seen a high number of films from have a huge output, though (Spielberg, Miike, John Woo, Yuen Woo-Ping, etc).

I am on a personal quest to see all of Jesus Franco's films, though I despair I'll never find them all. 36 down, 101 to go. 8-)

Stephen Chow
Richard Kelly (except for Visceral Matter which is nearly impossible to find)
John Gulager

194 films according to imdb - you need to suffer more! :twisted:

And for me that makes 137 to go.

So you're taking the Franco plunge then? Let's go on a journey of Eurosmut discovery...together! :)

Hm, that sounded a lot less like a sexual proposition before I typed it. :oops:

Yeah. Putting a definitive number on Franco's output seems pretty much impossible, given that several of his films were re-edited together by others and re-released under multiple titles over the years. I don't expect that I'll ever see them all, but it gives me something to aim for ;)

It always fascinates me why those Eurosmut are so addictive even if they are often awful. I don't really dig Franco, I'm more of a D'Amato guy, but I get the feeling. I just can't stop even when I know that at least half of his flicks suck. Although I have no intention to see all his flicks - only all the genre flicks, early softcore and porno-horrors. :oops:

yeah D'Amato has his moments, too....I'm mostly into Franco films because I am madly in lust with Lina Romay, his longtime partner/muse. She appears in most of his films from around 1972. It doesn't matter if a film is a total piece of shit...if Romay is in it, I want to see it.

Still, I'd rather hunt down and watch every Franco sleazefest than suffer through the entire body of work of a lot of the more celebrated filmmakers out there. Guys like Woody Allen or Wes Anderson just don't appeal to me at all, no matter how highly regarded they are by cineastes and critics.

Regardless, that's a discussion for another topic.

I've seen all the films from:
PT Anderson
Darren Aronofsky
Christopher Nolan
Terrence Malick (however this will most likely change as I don't really have the desire to see any of his upcoming films)
Alejandro Gonzalez Inarritu
Richard Kelly
Judd Apatow

I think that is it, but as far as directors that I am close for go:
Coen Brothers- Need just to see The Ladykillers and Intolerable Cruelty
David Fincher- Haven't seen Zodiac or Alien 3
