[Ric Bagoly]

Orson Welles

Orson Welles - He could have done so much had the studios just let him have his way. Hey, with talent of his caliber, you just can't be so shortsighted. On the other hand, Hitchcock had a long and rewarding career.

 

[Seth Paxton]

Hitchcock

Yes Welles maybe ruined his own career in how he handled control, but this is Hitch and its like bringing Mozart or DaVinci back. Artists like that have NEVER done enough work for my satisfaction. If 1959 Hitch and 1939 Welles both had new topline films coming out, I would be going to the Hitch film first.

Alfred Hitchcock

And I'd be lining up for the Welles film. Matter of preference, I guess.

Alfred Hitchcock Another tough one, I consider them pretty much equal quality wise but we'd get more quantity from Hitchsock so ...

I'm guessing the final round will be Kubrick vs Hitchcock, with Kurosawa as a semi-finalist.

Stanley Kubrick for it all...

I feel like I'm in the Twilight Zone :frowning:

 

[Seth Paxton]

Hitchcock. I will join George's coalition.
Although, technically, isn't DePalma Hitchcock resurrected?
