'Hour of the Wolf'

Ingmar Bergman had quite the career, which is an understatement. But I'm referring to his longetivity as much as the quality.

Bergman directed films in seven decades starting in the 1940s. If you considering the four or so TV movies done in the 1990s, it was eight decades of creating.

Alfred Hitchcock, for example, created films in six different decades. Marty Scorsese just four decades. Stanley Kubrick's streak from the 1940s-2000s is the American equal.

Bergman's streak is pretty stinking impressive. Especially for a guy that was so screwy.
