Which Director Appears Most in Your Collection?

[McConnaughay]

I am almost 150% certain a thread has been made about this particular topic, but after perusing the section's first 7-8 pages of threads and not being able to find one, I decided**** it and here I am! Which director appears most in your collection? And, as an added bonus, which director is most consistent, going by your collection.

I have over a quarter of a thousand films in my collection (that's weird, why don't I say I have over 250 films, sounds better?), but I have been renovating my collection. Packing the "unloved" ones into storage and keeping the films I like, allowing them to make it into heaven. Thereby, since I know the answer of this question is most likely Charles Band, I will only consider his and other people's films that fall at least slightly above the Mendoza line.

In addition, I have color coordinated some in my list and added an extra detail. The reddish colored films are the films I regard very highly and the blueish colored films are films I don't own, but am planning on buying in the near future. Woohoo, being obsessive!

1.) Christopher Nolan
- Batman Begins
- The Dark Knight
- The Dark Knight Rises
- Interstellar (I might hold this film "very highly" as well, but I need to re-watch it, as I have only seen it in the theaters and haven't collected my thoughts on it.)
- Insomnia
- Inception

Note: Christopher Nolan is among one of the most consistent directors in my book. Almost of his films are particularly good, and, it doesn't stop with my collection, The Prestige and Memento are two films I regard highly and have been meaning to add to my collection.

2.) David Fincher
- The Social Network
- Gone Girl

Note: Fincher doesn't appear much in my collection, but I had to include him in this list. The Social Network is one of my all-time favorite films and he has a lot of other films I really enjoy and need to add to my list. Zodiac and Seven are really solid, whereas Fight Club is a great film.

3.) James Wan
- The Conjuring 2
- Saw
- Insidious

Note: James Wan might be my all-time favorite horror directors right now. Other films I'd like to add to my collection include Dead Silence and The Conjuring.

4.) Wes Craven
- A Nightmare on Elm Street
- Scream
- Scream 4

Note: I need to re-watch Elm Street to see if it's really what I'd call a "great" film, but Wes was a huge part of my childhood and I love him for it. The other film I need to get of his is Scream 2 (don't like 3).

5.) Tim Burton
- Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street
- Batman
- Batman Returns

Note: Burton's a decent director. Batman Returns might even make it into my "great" film section when I re-watch it. Another film I need to get of his that I liked is Big Fish.

6.) Martin Scorsese
- The Departed

Note: The only reason I include him is because I think he might very well end up being my all-time favorite director. The Departed is one of my favorite films, but The Aviator is also one of my favorite films. The Wolf of Wall Street is very good as well. Films like Gangs of New York and the acclaimed Raging Bull, Taxi Driver, and Goodfellas are examples of films I still haven't seen of his that I've been meaning to.

[Cobpyth]

Hitchcock by a landslide. I think I own pretty much all of his post-40s films and a lot of his earlier ones as well on DVD.

[False Writer]

Good question... without actually going through my whole collection it very well may be Peter Jackson because of his 6 films in the LOTR and Hobbit trilogy. I also have the EE of Fellowship and Return, so if that counts then 8.

Second one is probably Edward Zwick (Glory, The Last Samurai, Blood Diamond, The Siege, Courage Under Fire, and used to own Legends of the Fall on VHS)

[Miss Vicky]

Pretty sure it's Hitchcock. I have The Masterpiece Collection, which is a box set of 14 of his movies, and I have North by Northwest (because whatever moron put that other collection together didn't include it).

[Citizen Rules]

You guys would never guess in a million years which director's movies I have the most of.

[seanc]

Hitchcock for me as well but I own all of PTA, Wes Anderson, and Tarantino. Most of the Coens too.

[rauldc14]

It's Hitchcock for me as well. I don't have nearly as many as anybody else though. Others with a lot are Wilder, Eastwood, and Nolan.

[Guaporense]

Junichi Satou

[The Gunslinger45]

I own a lot of Scorsese and Kurosawa, Kevin Smith, Mel Brooks, and David Lynch

[The Rodent]

You guys would never guess in a million years which director's movies I have the most of.



Paul WS Anderson?

[The Rodent]

I think I got more Richard Donner than any others.
Mainly because he makes movies that people don't realise he was involved with..
Goonies, Lethal Weapon 1-4, Superman 1 & 2, producer of all the X-Men movies...

[Hitchcockian97]

Probably Christopher Nolan. I own a copy of all of his movies except The Following(which I haven't seen yet) and Insomnia.

[Chypmunk]

Kurosawa and then Hitch for me.

[Citizen Rules]

You guys would never guess in a million years which director's movies I have the most of. No guesses huh? It's this director...

[Nope1172]

Kurosawa: Seven Samurai, Rashomon, Hidden Fortress, Throne of Blood, High and Low, and the "Early Kurosawa" Criterion set.

I also have Hitchcock masterpiece collection which has 15 movies, but I count that as only one.

[McConnaughay]

Guillermo Del Toro is inching his way up the list. I own The Devil's Backbone, Blade II, and Crimson Peak. Backbone is decent, but I didn't love it like I hoped I would. Blade II was pretty solid entertainment and Crimson Peak was very stylish and ultimately a solid work as well. As for the rest of his work, outside my collection, Pans was decent, and I liked both Hellboy films. If I find either Hellboy movies for a decent price, I'll scoop them, but I won't really search for Pan's Labyrinth.

[Swan]

Fulci, probably.

[Derek Vinyard]

David Fincher for me.

[MikeDunleavy]

I thing David Fincher

[iank]

Spielberg, Carpenter, Cameron. Mike Flanagan is starting to get up there now too.

[Blix the Goblin]

Billy Wilder - 16 films

Mario Bava - 15 films

Raoul Walsh - 13 films

Howard Hawks - 11 films

[Dani8]

I'm not in the cool kids club. I don't choose movies for the director. Only for the genre cast and cinematographer.

[mojofilter]

Tarantino and Scorsese

[Dexter007]

Spielberg, Shane Black, Ridley Scott.

[MadMac]

Sam Liu for me.

[Shagz]

Todd Phillips

But the person I have the most is Hitchcock, in that I have 30-40 of his films

[Nausicaä]

I have a lot of films from the following two, don't think there are any other directors in my collection that can beat these two...

Ingmar Bergman, I have a box set that contains the following:

Torment/Crisis/Music in Darkness/Port of Call/Prison/Three Strange Loves/To Joy/Summer Interlude/Waiting Women/Summer With Monika/A Lesson in Love/Dreams/Smiles of a Summer Night/The Seventh Seal/Wild Strawberries/The Magician/The Virgin Spring/Through A Glass Darkly/Winter Light/The Silence/All These Women/Persona/The Rite/Cries and Whispers/Scenes From A Marriage/Autumn Sonata/Faro-Dokument 1979/From The Life of the Marionettes/After The Rehearsal/Saraband.

Alfred Hitchcock:

Saboteur/Psycho/Shadow of a Doubt/The Birds/Rope/Marnie/Rear Window/Torn Curtain/The Trouble With Harry/Topaz/The Man Who Knew Too Much/Frenzy/Vertigo/Family Plot/North By NorthWest/Dial M For Murder/Stage Fright/Strangers on a Train/Suspicion/Rebecca/Spellbound/Lifeboat/The Lady Vanishes.

^ The ones in purple are separate films, the others are in the Masterpiece box set that some have mentioned in here.

[I_Wear_Pants]

That'd be Hitchcock. I have that Mill Creek collection that has about twenty-five films, I believe. I also have a handful of Kurosawa films (Ran, Ikiru, Yojimbo, Seven Samurai, and Sanjuro, I think), though I'm not sure if there are more. I think I have a bunch of Tim Burton films, too, but I can't remember which ones (I know I have Sweeney Todd, Batman, Big Fish, Edward Scissorhands, Beetlejuice, and Batman Returns). It's been a while since I sifted through my collection for such things.

[juniper]

It's between Tarantino and Kubrick. But if documentaries are included Attenborough tops it by a long shot.

[Joel]

Stuart Gordon most likely. I can't afford Wim Wenders on my salary.

[cricket]

I don't have many, so it's Kubrick because I have a box set.

[Citizen Rules]

I don't readily buy movies, I can't afford to and usually one viewing, perhaps two is enough for me. I do have several box sets from Busby Berkeley, however.

[JDCoupland]

Jackie Chan!

[Yam12]

Coppolla and Steven Soderbergh becuase I have boxsets of The Godfather and Ocean's trilogies.

Despite that the only film I've watched in either of those series is the first Godfather, and thats because it was on TV once

[matt72582]

Vittorio De Sica, Frank Capra, Elia Kazan, Akira Kurosawa, Ingmar Bergman, Robert Bresson, John Huston, John Cassavetes, Robert Altman, Ken Loach, Mike Leigh, Rainer Werner Fassbinder

[ScarletLion]

Kubrick:
10 movies

Villeneuve:
9 movies

Park Chan Wook:
9 films

[HashtagBrownies]

[COLOR=DarkRed][COLOR=Black][B]
Damn, I can't find Memento and Following in my country!

What country do you live in?

[Ultraviolence]

What country do you live in?

Brazil.

[Mr. J]

Of course it's Christopher Nolan with movies INCEPTION, INTERSTELLAR, DUNKIRK, MEMENTO, THE DARK KNIGHT TRILOGY and Prestige and Insomnia. After that it'll be Quintin Tarantino

[mattiasflgrtll6]

You guys would never guess in a million years which director's movies I have the most of. No guesses huh? It's this director...

[Steve Freeling]

Well, now. It's shifted since I posted last. Steven Spielberg followed by Hayao Miyazaki.

[MovieMeditation]

I’m sad to report that Michael Bay ties with Steven Spielberg for most appearances in my collection. :laugh:

[Stirchley]

Hard to say. I would have to go through my entire collection to figure this out. But Ingmar Bergman has to be up there, for sure.

[Yam12]

Who needs a collection when you just pirate everything.

[Allaby]

Hitchcock

[Ezrangel]

I own a lot of stuff for my favorites;

Cronenberg 7 discs

Fincher 10 disc (Mank is missing)

Nolan 10 discs (Following is missing)

Tarantino 9 discs (Haven’t got Grindhouse)

Cameron 6 discs (The Abyss hasn’t been printed in blu ray yet)

Spielberg 17 discs (yeah the ones I got much stuff)

Scorsese 11 discs (Leo + DeNiro era and that religious Dafoe movie)

Ridley Scott 6 discs (got some of his stuff, which is entertaining)

Carpenter 10 discs (all the staples until in the mouth of madness)

Christopher McQuarrie 3 discs

[BenjisDad]

Fortunately (assuming that's actually the word wanted here), I'm precisely the sort of obsessive who takes note of these sorts of things. ;)

1.) JOHN FORD (28)
2.) ALFRED HITCHCOCK (25)
3.) AKIRA KUROSAWA (23)

[Balor]

Bergman and Pasolini---mostly because of box sets.
