which director appears most in your top 100 favorite movies?
 
mine currently ends up with a tie between John Carpenter and Steven Spielberg with 5 each. Billy Wilder, Frank Capra, and Michael Curtiz tied with 4 apiece.

Carpenter's entries in my top 100:


#2: Halloween
#6: the Thing
#52: Big Trouble in Little China
#54: They Live
#82: Escape From New York

Spielberg's entries:


#9: Raiders of the Lost Ark
#47: Close Encounters of the Third Kind
#56: Jurassic Park
#91: Indiana Jones & the Temple of Doom
#93: Indiana Jones & the Last Crusade

thinking about this reminds me that i've done a decent job of sampling the best of many different directors... but i really haven't delved much into any one specific guy

would like to watch more Kurosawa... have seen just 3 of his movies (Yojimbo, Seven Samurai, & Ran) and the first two make my 100 favorites. maybe one day when i get more time and money! no more free access to my school library's dvd collection, like i once had.

look forward to reading which directors and which pictures appear most in your 100 favorites

Paul Thomas Anderson with 4 - everything but Boogie Nights (was an honourable mention) and Sydney.

I haven't done a top 100, but David Fincher appears the most times in my top 50 with three films: Fight Club, Se7en and Zodiac.

The only other directors to make multiple appearances on my top 50 are Sam Raimi (The Quick and the Dead, Army of Darkness) and Steven Spielberg (Indiana Jones and the Temple Of Doom, Catch Me If You Can)

Scorsese has 7

Goodfellas #1
Taxi Driver #2
Casino #30
The Departed#39
Mean Streets #45
The Color of Money #71

John Landis is second with 4 in my top 30; An American Werewolf in London, The Blues Brothers, Animal House, and Trading Places.

I think it's a tie between Oliver Stone and John Carpenter, both with 3.

BlueLion 07-29-13 10:42 PM

I've never really made a top 100 and I don't think I have one at the moment, but I do have a list that mostly consists of films that I consider to be great, and that list consists of 4 Tarantino films, 3 Scorsese films, 3 Kubrick films, and 3 Coen brothers films. Needless to say, they're also the directors whose work I admire the most.

In my original 100, there are 6 Spielberg and 5 Kubrick. I'm up to 164 now and if you count everything so far, they're still on top with 8 and 6.

Re: which director appears most in your top 100 favorite movies?
 
If I were to attempt a top 100, Hitchcock would probably have 7.

Re: which director appears most in your top 100 favorite movies?
 
Interestingly enough, my new but not yet posted top 100 has 4 Hitchcocks, 4 Wilders, and 4 Eastwoods. 3 Scorseses, 3 Coens, 3 Nolans as well.

I don't have any top. Does it mean I have to make one? What do you think? :D

Topic: It probably would be Angelopoulos, who made 13 movies, of which at least 5 I would include in my top.
