Harrison Ford was a lot more prominent, and far better in Raiders of the Lost Ark

Steven Spielberg did a better job directing Schindler's List

 

[Brad Porter]

Ralph Fiennes was amazing in Schindler's List, but I think he was even more impressive in Sunshine.

I haven't seen Sunshine, but the best performance I've seen from Rachel Weisz is in The Shape of Things

 

[Elizabeth S]

But Neil Labute's masterwork is still In the Company of Men, with a star-making performance from Aaron Eckhart.

 

[Bill McA]

Was it typecasting that Matt Malloy went from playing a sexist pig in In the Company of Men to playing an even greater sexist role as a Stepford husband in The Stepford Wives remake?

 

[Justin_S]

Christopher Walken used to make much better career decisions than deciding to star in trash like The Stepford Wives remake, a perfect case in point being The Dead Zone.

Kubrick's The Shining is a better film treatment of a Stephen King novel

 

[tyler payne]

Love The Shining, but Jack Nicholson is the man in Chinatown

 

[Lew Crippen]

Chinatown is indeed a masterpiece, but Faye Dunaway was even better in Bonnie and Clyde.

 

[george kaplan]

Gene Wilder was better in Young Frankenstein.

 

[Brad Porter]

Sticking with guys named Gene, I think that Hackman's brief role in YF is easily outclassed by his performance as Coach Norman Dale in Hoosiers.

Dennis Hopper was better in Easy Rider

 

[Bill McA]

Karen Black was good in Easy Rider, but she got to show off more of her talent in The Day of The Locust

 

[Lew Crippen]

Miss Lonelyhearts was a better novel than Day of the Locust.

 

[Bill McA]

Well I don't know about Loneyhearts Lew, but wasn't Robert Ryan really terrific in The Set-Up!

 

[Brad Porter]

Robert Wise directed many fine films, but he won his first Oscar for his great work directing West Side Story.

[Marc Fedderman]

Rita Moreno appears (in an admittedly smaller role) in the superior musical, Singin' in the Rain.

 

[george kaplan]

my reply to West Side Story was beaten by Marc, and is hence deleted.

 

[george kaplan]

Stanley Donen make a much better film with Charade.
