Agreed again. Add part 1 in there too.

every single person who claims to be a film buff say jackie brown is tarantino's best film, that's overrating

Panic Room is a great movie
Benjamin Button is an abomination

I was just watching Gone Girl recently.

What makes his movies so damn aesthetically pleasing?

Even if the movie is boring (Benjamin Button), it's still so... enjoyable to watch.

all his other films, to be honest, but i can pick only one, then A Perfect World

What's that one from the 70s where he's a cop who has to catch a rapist/murder and he bangs a couple of the witnesses. It sounds like a dirty harry sequel but isn't?

Anyway that one's underrated.

>Best
The Prestige

Memento

The Dark Knight

>Underrated
Batman Begins

It's called Tightrope and it's from the 80s. Apologies.

If zodiac is his best he must be a dog shit director. Zodiac was nolantier crap that was less exciting than the wikipedia article I read on the zodiac afterwards.

>someone being right on Sup Forums
woah it's like im dreaming or something

>Sad he went back to his bullshit afterwards.
If you remove a few pointless scenes, the hateful eight is quite good
Django isn't that great but it's a fun movie

>under/over rated
least valuable form of criticism.

A movie can be under rated and still bad, and a movie can be overrated and still good. So what's the point of merely labeling a film over/under rated without further elaborations?

Fucking philistines.

your ranking would pretty much be mine except i'd put Dragon Tattoo in Worst and Benjamin Button in Underrated

Panic Room is slight but at least it accomplishes what it sets out to do, and Alien 3 is at least an honest failure. Dragon Tattoo, I'm not sure why anybody involved bothered.

Someone do Paul Thomas Anderson

I'm so close to agreeing with you on this, but I think you're being too hard on punch drunk, although there is no other option for worst

That's why I picked it, I liked all PT Anderson films

>now that the case has basically been solved.
Yet the zodiac killer is still out there

>Boogie nights

i had high expectations for this film. didn't do anything for me. thought it was quite mediocre, idk.

Almost agree
Dunkirk should be the runner up though instead of memento

>true grit

Literally just got it the other day, is it really that bad?

Not the guy you quoted but it isn't bad, just not as good as other Coen films

It lack comedy compared to comedy Coen films
It lacks action compared to action Coen films

Tis. Excellent reply

They try too hard to be appealing to a broader audience, and that weakens the film

eh what about magnolia? It might be a 'better' movie than PDL but if I had to pick one to watch, I'd pick PDL. Has anyone actually seen hard eight?

I've seen all his movies, Hard 8 wasn't that good but you have to consider it was his first film, not bad for a debut, at least he didn't want to put it all in his opera prima like lot of directors do

Magnolia comes 3rd imo

None of their movies are bad.

Jackie Brown is underrated if anything

""""film buff""""" detected

Momento is way fucking better than the shitstige. Momento is the only half decent film nolan ever fucking made

Lets talk about the Prestige okay.

ScarJo's disappearing accent and wooden acting, the opening 10 minutes of foreshadowing followed by 10 minutes of Hugh ACTman and some bitch exchanging exposition. Then they immediately reveal that he has a twin brother 20 minutes into the film making all the characters in the movie completely retarded. How could she not realize he has a twin. You closed a door behind you with bale behind you, now bale is in front of you?

She should have either began questioning him, or one of the two brothers should have realized they were dating a literal retard.

Scarjo is a fucking abysmal actress which is why her best movie is Under the Skin where she never says more than a sentence at a time. Actman can be buried along with his faggot Wolverine character. Nolan and his goddamn retarded "twists" and criminal use of what would be cool set pieces and plots if they were filmed by any other director can join him.

Seriously how do you take a battle for showmanship greatness involving a literal cloning device and make if feel so stiff and uninteresting?

I think it is because he is so autistic and particular about every single shot and the frame. He doesn't seem to just shoot something quickly and randomly and move on. Something that stood out for me about his style is something he mentioned in the commentary for Panic Room, in that when Nicole Kidman was going to be the star he was going to shoot the film differently and then changed it for when it was Jodie Foster, The simple choice of shooting the main character mostly in a medium shot or a close up is very deliberate and particular. From what I can tell everything the camera sees has a clear meaning or purpose behind it and thus never feels lazy.

as someone who didn't read the book or see the original Swedish version, I don't really get what was so bad or poorly done with Dragon Tattoo. To rate it below Alien 3 is a bit of a leap.
