Filmography data usage and export

I'd love to see an easy way to discover who has (performed in, directed, produced, etc.) the most (TV episodes, TV movies, movies, etc.). This would probably entail a new page from which users could filter their results, but at least the data would be taken from the person's IMDb page.

Questions to be answered could include

o Which actor/actress has the most Feature Movie credits?

o Which director has the most Video credits?

o How many performers have at least 100 acting credits?

o Which performers or directors (etc.) have the highest average IMDb rating for their films? For this one, you'd need to include a minimum number of credits, and you'd probably want to filter the results by job (so you don't lump Ron Howard's acting credits with his directing credits).

o Which actors have had the most voice-only roles? (This would need to be filtered out of the "most credits" feature from above, because otherwise Frank Welker, Mel Blanc, etc. would be lumped in with, say, Boris Karloff and James Hong.)

o Who has appeared in the most feature films in a single year?

Heck, maybe it would be easier to allow users to export the basic info from filmographies (job, rating, title, type, etc.) and then let them mess with it offline. IMDb has a ton of data just in these filmographies.

[Not sure if this should go under Data Issues and Policy Discussions, but that category seems to be more for suspect data, not a new utilization of data.]
