Directors Brian DePalma films tournament (1 Viewer)

[Brook K]

Femme Fatale

Liked it quite a bit, it entertained and had plenty of heat, charm and DePalma flourishes. Big improvement over his last several movies.

 

[SteveGon]

Wow, lots of discussion over the forgettable Femme Fatale. FWIW, I'd rate it **1/2 out of ****.

DePalma still has a great movie in him somewhere but this wasn't it.

 

[ErikG]

I wasn't impressed with either...

Raising Cain I guess

 

[Justin_S]

FEMME FATALE picks up the win 7-2. And sorry Steve, but this is his second best film in my eyes, and if he has an even better film than this left in him, I'll be pretty surprised. :p)


Round 1, Match 7
-------------------

CARLITO'S WAY

SCARFACE


My vote: CARLITO'S WAY I guess.

Scarface-an easy favorite to win it all...

[ErikG]

Scarface

 

[Steeve Bergeron]

Scarface

 

[Jim_K]

Scarface

 

[Nick Sievers]

Carlito's Way - i'm not overly fond of Scarface.

 

[Jason Boucher]

Wow, really tough round since they are 2 of my all time favorites, and both Pacino. I'm going to go Carlito's Way, since I haven't watched Scarface in so long because of the bad prints. Really, really tough.

 

[Justin_S]

Its tied at 7-7. We need a tiebreaker.

Round 1, Match 9
-------------------

MISSION TO MARS

VS.

PHANTOM OF THE PARADISE


My vote: I'm one of the few people who really liked MISSION TO MARS, but PHANTOM is one of my top 5 favorite DePalma films, so it gets my vote rather easily.

 

[Ric Bagoly]

Phantom Of The Paradise-no question about it

 

[Brook K]

Phantom of the Paradise

Now that I think about it, I believe these are the only two DePalma movies I've seen on film; weird.
