Denis Villeneuve you could go from Prisoners to Blade Runner...all are great. Hell his stuff before Prisoners May be great too I just haven’t seen them.

Coppola: The Conversation, Godfather 2, Apocalypse Now.

Throw in The Godfather in front of that as well even if I’ve found that film to be overrated (it’s a very good movie, but not an all time great in my mind).

No I was in process of adjusting so add as many as you guys want, but only 3.

Clint Eastwood had a terrific run between 2003 to 2006 with Mystic River, Million Dollar Baby and his Iwo Jima saga.

INCENDIES will always be his most powerful film. It will never be seen as such because people don't like subtitles..

What a true Shakesperian tragedy.. not an easy film to watch. I've just decided to give myself a gut punch and revisit it tonight.

My answer to the topic...Tarantino RESERVOIR DOGS, PULP FICTION, JACKIE BROWN..

A Sith Lord? · 05-19-2019, 07:49 PM

Coppola
Godfather 1
Godfather 2
Godfather 3/Apocalypse Now

Sorry I reacted to fast.

Porco Azzurro · 05-19-2019, 07:57 PM

Hayao Miyazaki (just pick any run of three of his films!)
E.g.
My Neighbour Totoro
Kiki’s Delivery Service
Porco Rosso

George Lucas
Star Wars Episode I: The Phantom Menace
Star Wars Episode II: Attack of the Clones
Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Sith

I realise some will disagree with those

But if you’re a prequel-hater:

THX 1138
American Graffiti
Star Wars
