Dementeleus Posted September 9, 2013 Share Posted September 9, 2013 A really really quick count: 121. In that general area... there were some that I wasn't 100% sure on, but I didn't feel like double-checking their filmography so I didn't count 'em.

riczhang Posted September 11, 2013 Share Posted September 11, 2013 (edited) I think I'm close to 100/100 (Probably in the 90s) for the top 100. This is just from a quick glance. I do dismal when I reach 200-250 though. Edited September 11, 2013 by riczhang Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chasmmi Posted September 11, 2013 Share Posted September 11, 2013 I would have to look up everybody's filmography to find that out and I just ain't got the time. Even though there are exceptions (Spielberg, Tarantino, Smith, Gibson, Bay, some of the Korean guys etc) where for whatever reason, be it skill, infamy or just the fact their name always appears in big black writing above a film, I can associate a film with it's director, I often never know who directed what. Is it bad to admit that here? Honestly, even in my top 100 films list from a while back, I probably don't know the director of half of them off the top of my head.
