Have we done this? Count 'em up, roll 'em out!
Rules:
All feature films count in whatever format (DVD, Blu Ray, DVD-R, laserdisc, VHS, Beta, 16 mm, whatever). If you own something in more than format, it only counts once. If you have MAD DOG TIME on DVD and on VHS under the title TRIGGER HAPPY, that counts only once.
TV shows do not count. Don't add Abel Ferrara's episodes of Miami Vice.
TV films do count. So you may add L.A. TAKEDOWN and SOMEONE'S WATCHING ME!
Short films don't count. You can allow something barely under an hour, like FORGOTTEN SILVER.
Only films on which the director is credited count, even if the director is under a pseudonym. So THE THING FROM ANOTHER WORLD goes on your Christian Nyby list, BURN HOLLYWOOD BURN on your Arthur Hiller.
Don't count something more than once because you also own an alternate cut. 18 different versions of ALEXANDER don't count. The Harlin and Schrader versions of the fourth EXORCIST do count separately.
Sequels count separately, but the two volumes of KILL BILL are one film. The THREE and FOUR MUSKETEERS are also one film. Films shot at the same time but always intended to be separated (LORD OF THE RINGS) are counted separately.
I fully expect someone within three posts to reveal that they own all 6 of George Lucas' films as director. Not sure why, I just expect it. I might actually be disappointed if I don't see this happen.
Here we go.
From my collection:
Werner Herzog (12)
Mario Bava (10)
Jackie Chan (9)
John Cassavetes (8)
Claude Chabrol (8)
Walter Hill (8)
Wong Kar-Wai (8)
George A. Romero (7)
Zhang Yimou (6)
Kazuhiko Yamaguchi (6) - Yes, I am surprised as the rest of you to find that I own 6 films by the director of WANDERING GINZA BUTTERFLY
