Okay, I'm gonna do this tournament to see which DePalma film is the most respected here at the HTF, and because I like most of his films. Here's the list:
Blow Out
Body Double
Carlito's Way
Carrie *
Casualties of War
Dressed To Kill *
Femme Fatale
The Fury
Mission: Impossible
Mission To Mars
Phantom of the Paradise
Raising Cain

Round 1, Match 1
------------------
DRESSED TO KILL
VS.
SNAKE EYES
My vote: This is quite a tough one to start things off, but I think I'm gonna have to go with SNAKE EYES.

I love Snake Eyes (for the most part), but Dressed to Kill is the more enjoyable overall.

Aside from the opening shot lifted from (or homage to)Touch of Evil, Snake Eyes was a bore.
Dressed To Kill - though I'm not a fan of his Hitchcock carbon-copies.
