has some exceptions.
If an actor or director has made fewer than 7 movies, I can claim him or her by seeing a larger percentage of their films or by seeing what are generally considered that person's "classic" films. It is determined on a case-by-case basis. For example, I would claim James Dean because I've seen two of the three films he's made. I can claim Albert Brooks as a director. He's directed 7 films and I've seen 5 1/2 of them. (I fell asleep during The Muse.)
And it's generally assumed that, of the actors and directors whose movies I've seen 7 or more of, that I've seen at least the movie they are most famous for, or at the very least that all 7 are not obscure movies no one's ever heard of. For example, the guy who I came up with the rules with said that I could not claim Frances Ford Coppola if I had never seen The Godfather. This makes sense.
Right now, I'm looking to claim Humphrey Bogart. Bogart made many, many more than 7 movies, so I'll need 7. I think I'm at 5. I should have him by the end of the weekend.
