5 or more?

Post by Scottathon »

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.

Current total: 72
Woody Allen, Robert Altman, Paul Thomas Anderson, Wes Anderson, Noah Baumbach, Ingmar Bergman, Don Bluth, Stan Brakhage, Robert Bresson, Luis Buñuel, Tim Burton, James Cameron, Frank Capra, Charles Chaplin, Ethan Coen, Joel Coen, Chris Columbus, Francis Ford Coppola, David Cronenberg, Cameron Crowe, Jonathan Demme, Jacques Demy, Stanley Donen, Clint Eastwood, Bobby Farrelly, Peter Farrelly, John Ford, Friz Freleng, Samuel Fuller, Clyde Geronimi, Jean-Luc Godard, Howard Hawks, Werner Herzog, Alfred Hitchcock, John Huston, Wilfred Jackson, Jim Jarmusch, Chuck Jones, Krzysztof Kieslowski, Stanley Kubrick, Akira Kurosawa, Fritz Lang, John Lasseter, Richard Linklater, Ernst Lubitsch, George Lucas, Sidney Lumet, Hamilton Luske, David Lynch, Leo McCarey, Robert McKimson, Errol Morris, Christopher Nolan, Alain Resnais, Robert Rodriguez, Eric Rohmer, Gus Van Sant, Martin Scorsese, Kevin Smith, Steven Soderbergh, Steven Spielberg, Seijun Suzuki, Quentin Tarantino, Francois Truffaut, Agnes Varda, Andy Wachowski, Larry Wachowski, Orson Welles, Billy Wilder, William Wyler, Robert Zemeckis, Terry Zwigoff

Edit:
June 24, 2011: New Total: 90

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.

Mel Brooks, James Cameron, Terry Gilliam, Alfred Hitchcock, Ron Howard, Chuck Jones, Stanley Kubrick, John Lasseter, Christopher Nolan, Martin Scorsese, Aaron Seltzer, Steven Spielberg, Sylvester Stallone, Robert Zemeckis

I've only been a cinephile for about a year, so the list is pretty weak. There are twenty more directors with four films that I've seen. Also, for the record, Stanley Kubrick is the only director who averages a Tier 10 score, and Aaron Seltzer is the only one who averages a tier 1.

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. :|

Click onto the Filmmaker link on the "Explore" tab and tick the "restrict to film's you've seen" button when the page loads.

85 directors. I must confess, I had no idea I had seen any films by Alan Parker, let alone 5 of them.
