Re: OVERLOOKED & OBSCURE DIRECTORS SERIES - Volume XLV – The Films of CHRIS COLUMBUS

Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets (2002) - 8/10
Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone (2001) - 7/10
Mrs. Doubtfire (1993) - 1/10
Only the Lonely (1991) - 5/10
Home Alone (1990) - 3/10
Adventures in Babysitting (1987) - 5/10

So, pretty much the only time he makes something that isn't utter shit is when he does Harry Potter. And that's only because the source material is so strong... the other two movies in the series are much better.

Eh. Like Martin pointed out a couple posts up, the HP franchise survived this guy on the strength of the source material but thank goodness it's ended up in better hands.
