Well we have to see this thru to the end Jim, it's a voyage, a voyage of discovery, I'm curious to see how many films I've seen from each director. I don't want to stop now, now that we've reached the half-way mark.

One thing I've thought of doing is tot up my ratings and get an average rating for each director. Mel Gibson for instance gets a rating average of 3.33 out of 5 for his three films, obviously the more films there are the more accurate your rating total.
