@Aruji - also, how are you handling director pairs? Like i voted for Powell & Pressburger together, but others voted for just Michael Powell

I'll try counting them together.

Then again, Peeping Tom for example only has Powell as a director. However, it makes more sense to do so since long-working director pairings are pretty rare.
