Directors with the best filmography

Spin off of the Nolan thread. What directors do you think have the best filmography?
I think hands down Stanley Kubrick has the best filmography of all time:
Fear and Desire
Killer’s Kiss
The Killing
Paths of Glory
Spartacus
Lolita
Dr. Strangelove
2001: A Space Odyssey
A Clockwork Orange
Barry Lyndon
The Shining
Full Metal Jacket
Eyes Wide Shut
Also, not complete filmography, but John Carpenter’s 70s/80s run is unbelievable
Assault on Precinct 13
Halloween
The Fog
Escape from New York
The Thing
Christine
Starman
Big Trouble in Little China
Prince of Darkness
They Live

I don't think there's really a competition here... Kubrick not only produced masterpiece after masterpiece, but managed to do it in many different genres

Kubrick is a great choice. Hitchcock is in strong competition as well.

Spielberg has some all timers on his list.

Spielberg is my first though.
putting out Jurassic Park and Shindler’s List in the same year is a feat.
As an Aside: the 1999 best picture caragory had 5 movies and they all involved WWII or Queen Elizabeth I .

You are correct. Consistent excellence across a variety of genres. Painstaking perfectionist that gets incredible performances from all of his actors. Brilliant blocking and shot framing.

Not anywhere close to enough consistency to be above people like Kubrick or Spielberg

those are my top 2. not a ton of misses there. they aren't my favorites, but they're 2 of the best.
Raimi, Boyle, QT, DV, Hooper, Cuaron, Mendes, Coen Bros, Chazelle, Wes Anderson, Fincher, Scorsese, and Nolan all have a smaller catalog with some misses (i think most have a dozen or less) but they're mostly batting .900
Scott, Mann, Howard, Cameron, Reiner, Speilberg, Eastwood, Capra, Allen, etc. obviously have made some of the greatest movies ever, but with such a huge catalog they have a higher number of stinkers.

Sidney Lumet is slept on. He is a volume shooter but his hits are classics
12 angry men
Network (his masterpiece IMO)
Dog day afternoon
Serpico
Before the Devil Knows You're Dead
The Verdict
Prince of the city
Murder on the Orient Express

For me this one's easy. It's Tarkovsky.
Posted on 7/30/24 at 12:37 pm to pevetohead
It's Hitchcock.
Psycho
Rear Window
North by Northwest
Vertigo
The Birds
Dial M for Murder
The 39 Steps
Strangers on a Train
Rope
Rebecca
Notorious
The Lady Vanishes
Shadow of a Doubt
Spellbound
To Catch a Thief
Just to name a few. Then you had Alfred Hitchcock presents which was a pretty incredible show in itself.
I'd actually have Tarantino, John Ford, and Nolan above Kubrick as well.
Edit: Not sure how I forgot Kurosawa
