Director Poll: Favorite Martin Scorsese Film • Page 5

Has there ever been a more appropriate casting decision than Wahlberg in this movie?

 

I have to assume that’s how he just naturally is

 

I've been saying "It's what it is" on a regular basis. I'm not sure if I said it a lot before the movie or if I just notice it more now.

 

yeah I mean given what we know about him and his past I think that's a safe assumption lol

 

just checked imdb and it looks like Scorsese is scheduled to work on a Teddy Roosevelt biopic. like I said, The Aviator is one of my favorite biopics.

 

Verhoeven is a good one.

dunno who’s been done, this is the first of these threads I’ve seen, but I’d suggest
David Lynch
Kelly Reichardt
Steven Soderbergh
Richard Linklater
Billy Wilder
Kurosawa
Spike Lee
Paul Schrader
Claire Denis

 

Soderbergh and Linklater would be interesting.

 

Spielberg
Ridley Scott
David Cronenberg

like Scorsese these would be good because they have larger bodies of work with some decent variance

 

I only like a handful of Soderbergh

 

Cronenberg would be cool. John Carpenter too.

 

Cronenbergs late career is really interesting and starkly different than his earlier stuff too

 

+1 for Cronenberg

maybe it'll finally force me to finish watching the ones I'm missing

 

What have you seen? He does so much different stuff so competently it’s hard not to find a lot to like, for me

 

Surprised you didn't put Channing Tatum on this list.

 

Ive seen a decent chunk of his stuff I liked Informant and Magic Mike the most probably. The Knick is a cool show. Traffic from what I remember was bad. Why does he make films like Oceans 12 and Side Effects? that new netflix movie of his has good subject matter but the trailer makes it seem pretty dreg. Whats your favorites from him? I do agree hes hard to pin from project to project.

 

Coen Brothers would be a real good one too

 

I'd be down for Spike Lee

 

Good to see this is a lot easier than the music thread polls lol

 

First of all Ocean’s Twelve is great. But he’s always messing around with stuff. For an interesting selection I’d go

Sex, Lies, and Videotape
Schizopolis
King of the Hill
The Limey
Out of Sight
Ocean’s Eleven
Solaris
Contagion
Logan Lucky
High Flying Bird
Let Them All Talk

 

Loved you in What We Do in the Shadows btw

 

I just watched Ocean's Twelve for the first time in a while a few days ago. It's good until Ocean and the Night Fox meet, then it starts to fall apart. Overall, it's okay. I appreciate that it tried to do something different though.

 

I haven't seen the trilogy in forever, but I remember the second being the best one.

 

Soderbergh is really playing with his European influences in that one, which makes sense, but every Clooney/Pitt scene sings

 

I just now watched Shutter Island for the first time in my life. While I understand now why people think it’s low tier Marty I still had a blast
