Who are the most recurring: directors and actors
Among the directors who appear most often is Christopher Nolan, present with no less than four films: Interstellar (89), Oppenheimer (65), Memento (62) and The Dark Knight (28). Also like Nolan were Alfonso Cuarón, the Coen brothers and Paul Thomas Anderson. The Coens and Anderson place one of their films in the top ten, respectively It's no country for old men (6) and The Oilman (3).
Three films for Quentin Tarantino: Kill Bill vol. I (61), Once Upon a Time in... Hollywood (44) and Baster Without Glory (14). A remarkable achievement, if we consider that his filmography consists of 11 feature films.
On the same step of the podium are David Fincher with Gone Girl (64), Zodiac (19) and The Social Network (10).
The group of directors with two films in the ranking is larger: Wes Anderson ( Grand Budapest Hotel, 22 - The Tenenbaums, 21), Richard Linklater (Before Sunset, 49 - Boyhood, 23), Spike Jonze (The Orchid Thief, 27 - Her, 24), Ang Lee (The Secrets of Brokeback Mountain, 17 - The Tiger and the Dragon, 16), Jonathan Glazer (Under the Skin, 69 - The Zone of Interest, 12) and finally Martin Scorsese (The Departed, 31 - The Wolf of Wall Street, 20).
It is interesting to see that Bong Joon- ho, director of Parasite, the first film in the ranking, also appears with Memories of a Murderer, which occupies 99th place.
If we turn to the performers, the most recurring are Brad Pitt, Daniel Day-Lewis, Philip Seymour Hoffman, Joaquin Phoenix, Hilary Swank, Michelle Williams, Adam Driver, Tilda Swinton and Scarlett Johansson.
