Re: By which filmmaker do you own the most films.

I have 27 Fassbinder films which is only just over half his output.
I think technically I have more Almodovar since at 17 I have all of his feature movies.
13 Dario Argento.
19 Russ Meyer films.
13 Fellini.
2 Vincent Gallo :P.

yeah...but...now we have BD as well..so....it's only a miracle that I saw this considering my DVD thread time has GREATLY lessened in comparison to the HD thread which has increased a lot more every day.

Billy Wilder
Michael Curtiz
Howard Hawks
Alfred Hitchcock
John Houston
Peter Jackson (though I have no interest in Lovely Bones)
Sammo Hung
Joseph Manckiewiecz
Wolfgang Peterson (until his last few films)
Tsui Hark (I include him as director and producer)
Renny Harlin (I unashamedly love this guy's work!)
Yuen Woo Ping (too many to count!)
Preston Sturges
Johnny To (at least 14 for him)

Probably Hitchcock.

Is there a way to sort by director on DVD Profiler?

Re: By which filmmaker do you own the most films.

Wes Craven, I have every one of his films available on DVD (except for Deadly Blessing, which is only available in region 4, I think)

According to DVDPedia:

Wes Craven - 18
George A. Romero - 10
Kevin Smith - 9
Sam Raimi - 8
John Carpenter - 7
Richard Donner - 6
Steven Spielberg - 6 (however it's counting the Indiana Jones movies (first 3) as 1, so really it's 8)

Re: By which filmmaker do you own the most films.

Not sure,but probably Kevin Smith.
-3 releases of Clerks(the Miramax Collector's Series{because of the exclusive Deleted Scene Intros},Clerks. X,and Clerks 15th BD)
-2 releases of Mallrats(the Universal Collector's Edition and Mallrats 10th)
-2 releases of Chasing Amy(Criterion DVD & Miramax BD)
-1 release of Dogma(2-Disc Special Edition)
-1 release of Clerks the Animated Series
-1 release of Jay & Silent Bob Strike Back(2-Disc DVD)
-1 release of Jersey Girl
-2 releases of Clerks II(2-Disc Special Edition with Suncoast Exclusive Bonus Disc,and the still sealed Best Buy Exclusive Mooby's Happy Meal Collector's Set)
-1 Release of Zack & Miri Make a Porno(2 Disc DVD)

Thats 8 films and an animated series,spread across 14 DVD or Blu-Ray releases. But now that I think of it I own quite a few Spielbergs,and another director like Smith that has multiple releases of the same films in Sam Raimi(Evil Dead Trilogy,Spider-Man Trilogy,and Drag Me To Hell).

I just ordered the OOP Paradine Case, so that's 39 Hitchcocks, or all of his output currently on non-PD DVD.
