Forgot to include the Coen Brothers: Ethan and Joel. Responsible for such masterpieces as Fargo, Big Lebowski, O Brother Where Art Thou? et. al.

Another vote for Coen brothers.

Each month I set a goal for hours to play and if I reach it, I reward myself with some money to spend on Amazon.

I am increasing my DVD collection and have been considering purchasing all the works by specific directors.

At the moment I am considering:
-QT (Only one movie away)
-Scorsese (he has a ton, but I think it would be cool to have all his work)
-PTA
-Wes Anderson

Any other suggestions? It is tough because someone like Spielberg has too many movies that I would just not want to own. I know I am probably missing a ton of potential here...

Miyazaki -- consistently excellent anime, not a huge catalogue(at least in America)
Hitchcock -- huge catalog, but not many are not worth watching at least two ro three times. I've probably seen Rear Window two dozen times, etc.
Sergio Leone -- those spagheti westerns are great stuff, and Once Upon a Time in America is pretty cool too
Kurosawa -- big catalogue, but wow, watchable and fun stuff
James Whale -- great early horror stuff, small catalog, endlessly rewatchable
Herzog -- not to most people's tastes, but he grew on me something fierce

Hard to think of guys with small catalogs that are by and large uncluttered with misfires! Haven't been very successful, it seems.

Which one? Hopefully you have Jackie Brown. I love that movie for some reason, even though it's pretty meh.

You might as well just get the complete De Niro collection. It's the same thing.

John Ford. Another big collection, but some of the best movies ever, i.e. The Searchers, The Quiet Man.
