Justin 2 Posted January 16, 2006 Share Posted January 16, 2006 I generally rent films based on Director. I work my way through a director's best works and move on to another director. Like with Fincher and Soderbergh. Now it's De Palma's turn.Films I have seen by De Palma:Mission to MarsMission: ImpossibleCarlito's WayThe Untouchablesand I will be renting Scarface shortly.So what am I missing from the Brian De Palma filmography? I'm eyeing Femme Fatale, but is it worth it? What else do I need to see?Justin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hitch 57 Posted January 16, 2006 Share Posted January 16, 2006 Is this topic even worthy to be in the General Discussion area? It should be sent straight to the recycle bin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marian Schedenig 8,191 Posted January 16, 2006 Share Posted January 16, 2006 Femme Fatale is brilliant, once of his best in my opinion. Snake Eyes is very good as well, with an amazing introduction sequence that lasts some 15-20 minutes before the first cut (kinda like Mission to Mars, only better, and without that odd brief scene spliced into the long sequence).Dressed to Kill and Blow Out are very good and of course also have very impressive sequences. DtK's script is somewhat over the top, but I find the BO plot, and particularly the basic idea, very intriguing.Now The Fury... generally considered a bad movie with a bad script. I find the script ok, hardly as bad as other typical B horror movies. And of course, The Fury also has a wonderful Kirk Douglas, brilliant visuals (you don't know De Palma until you've seen Gillian's Escape), and of course an utterly amazing score.Marian - who wants De Palma to do a Western.
