81 to 87 (depending on whether you include metallic hydrogen and the man-made heavy elements with extremely short half-lifes that have only been synthesized on the order of a few atoms)

Here's a list of all the elements on the Periodic Table that are metals:

Alkali Metals (6 or 7 - depending on whether you include metallic hydrogen) Hydrogen in its metallic state (usually considered a nonmetal)
Lithium
Sodium
Potassium
Rubidium
Cesium
Francium

Alkaline Earth Metals (6 or 7 - depending on whether you group metallic hydrogen here) Beryllium
Magnesium
Calcium
Strontium
Barium
Radium

Basic Metals - the most "metally" - ductile, malleable, metallic luster, good conductors of heat and electricity (7 or 12 - depending on whether you include the extremely short half-life man-made ones that have only been synthesized in on the order of a few atoms)
Aluminum
Gallium
Indium
Tin
Thallium
Lead
Bismuth
Nihonium - probably a basic metal
Flerovium - probably a basic metal
Moscovium - probably a basic metal
Livermorium - probably a basic metal
Tennessine - in the halogen group, but may behave more like a metalloid or metal

Transition Metals (68)
Scandium
Titanium
Vanadium
Chromium
Manganese
Iron
Cobalt
Nickel
Copper
Zinc
Yttrium
Zirconium
Niobium
Molybdenum
Technetium
Ruthenium

Metals in the strictest sense, metallic elements, are all elements. We are ignoring alloys, as those are made of more than one metallic element.
