Why is it that a director's second film is usually his best?

>Tarantino (Pulp Fiction)
>Ridley (Alien)
>Cameron (Aliens)
>Spielberg (Jaws)
>Nolan (Memento)
>Bay (The Rock)
>Jackson (Meet the Feebles)
>Burton (Beetlejuice)
>Lucas (American Graffiti)
>Refn (Bleeder)
>Scorsese (Mean Streets)
>PTA (Boogie Nights)
>Fincher (Se7en)

It's in that sweet spot, where they've learned from the mistakes of their first, but haven't yet let themselves be overcome by hubris, and start to think they can't do any wrong.

Young directors shoot from the heart.

Older directors just make product.

>Scott (Alien)

Fixed

how old is that leg?

always thought that was a particularly small foot...

Judging from the calf, somewhere around 12.

>Pulp Fiction, Jaws, Bleeder, Mean Streets, Se7en
>""""""""""best""""""""

Not counting Piranha 2 as JimCam's first movie

Protip: it wasn't. He only directed for like two days.

reservoir dogs is better

Also the Watchowski brother/sister/things made the Matrix as their second movie.

>Scorsese (Mean Streets)

Ssshhh old enough enough for kisess

That's a really small child wtf

u jelly?

Yeah but that would have made Terminator Cameron's second film, which is actually his best, not that piece of shit called Aliens.

>Pulp Fiction, not Reservoir Dogs
>Aliens, not Terminator
>Memento, not Interstellar
>Meet the Feebles, not the obvious choice
>Beetlejuice, not Ed Wood
>Bleeder, not Only God Forgives
>Mean Streets, not Taxi Driver
>Boogie Nights, not There Will Be Blood
>Se7en, not Zodiac

>I get my film taste from IMDB: the Post

>Tarantino (Pulp Fiction)

>Cameron (Aliens)
Wrong, it's T2
>Nolan (Memento)
Wrong, it's The Dark Knight.
>Lucas (American Graffiti)

>Refn (Bleeder)

Is Chazelle finished after La La Land?

La La Land wasn't his 2nd film.
