I'll put it this way - Terrence Malick is in an eight-way tie for second place, and I don't even own all of his movies. 
(Hitchcock is in 1st, btw, with a whopping four titles.)

I really wish you guys hadn't made me look. My smallish 200 or so DVD Collection is filled with great Directors from the past and present. Which Director comes out on top?
Richard Donner? (7)
Steven Speilberg (6)
Peter Jackson (5)
I think I need to start working on the Alfred Hitchcock part of my collection.

An interesting question, as I have never really sat down and counted how many I have by what director. A quick look-through count and not counting duplicate versions:
John Waters :10
David Lynch :10
Kevin Smith :6
I have many that count in at 5, including: Sergio Leone, Stanley Kubrick, and John Woo...I just haven't gotten around to replacing everything I had on VHS yet.
I would have to do some research to be sure that Lo Wei, Yuen Wo Ping, or even Jackie Chan didn't have at least 6 and place 3rd on my list.
