3 directors most represented in your collection?
I have collection of less than 100, but the directors most represented are:
First place:
Steven Speilberg (5)
Catch Me If You Can
Jaws
Minority Report
Munich
Schindler's List
Tied for Second:
Peter Jackson (4)
King Kong
The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring (Theatrical + Extended Editions)
The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers (Theatrical + Extended Editions)
The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King (Theatrical + Extended Editions)
Not sure if Peter Jackson should count as 7 or as 4, as technically there are seven DVD releases
Quentin Tarantino (4)
Kill Bill Vol. I
Kill Bill Vol. II
Pulp Fiction
Reservoir Dogs
Quentin Tarantino is credited as a guest director for Sin City, but I did not count this
Francis Ford Coppola (4)
Apocalypse Now Redux
The Godfather
The Godfather: Part II
The Godfather: Part III
Martin Scorsese (4)
The Aviator
Gangs of New York
Goodfellas
Raging Bull
George Lucas (4)
Star Wars Episode I: The Phantom Menace
Star Wars Episode II: Attack of the Clones
Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Sith
Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope
Third:
Clint Eastwood (3)
Million Dollar Baby
Mystic River
Unforgiven
EDIT: Came to realisation that George Lucas did not direct Episodes V and VI, so that takes his films from 6 (1st place) to 4 (tied second)

DVD Spot shows Kevin Dunn in 1st place with 18. He directs wrestling videos though so we won't count him.
John Carpenter with 16, followed by Richard Donner, Clint Eastwood and Stephen Spielberg with 14 each. Wes Craven follows them with 13.

Top 3 By Number Owned:
1. Steven Spielberg (13)
2. Tim Burton (8)
3. Hayao Miyazaki (8)
Top 3 Favorite Directors:
1. Christopher Nolan (3)
2. Jean-Pierre Jeunet (3 - soon to be 4)
3. Cameron Crowe (5)
Course, my 4th and 5th favorites are Hayao Miyazaki and Ridley Scott (6) with an honorable mention to Kurosawa (6), so it starts to make sense later down the list. I'm sure after another 5-6 years the top 3 will be prominent.

I have every film by Steven Spielberg and Martin Scorsese so with over 20 movies each they're definitely #1 & 2, hovering around the "12" mark are Sam Raimi, Stanley Kubrick, Tim Burton, the Coens, Richard Linklater and Lloyd Kaufman.
