Superman, although the ten year old part of me will always love The Goonies.

CZAR · 11-07-2010, 02:44 PM

Superman II I think. Well I dont think I ever seen his version although I do have it on blu. I grew up off Lester's version and it is my fav superhero film. Im sure Donner's version has to be good as well so I choose that one. Got Em!!

The Omen is his masterpiece--

Superman 2, Scrooged all great!

Superman II wins going away but there are other Donner films I need to get like Goonies and Scrooged.

serpheus · 11-20-2010, 08:20 PM

The Goonies

PS - I nominated Donner as one of the best directors ever in some other thread.

miller_time22 · 12-13-2010, 08:28 PM

The Goonies all the way, although Superman is worth considering. Great filmmaker.

- Superman
- Lethal Weapon
- Scrooged
- Superman II (well, what he filmed of it)
- Lethal Weapon II

I still reckon there is a better version of Superman II that can be salvaged if there was a big enough desire to get the "best possible version" in a releaseable state. I know the Lester footage hurts him, and that he exised as much as he could get away with. I just think that he cut out too much, and some of the stuff that was shoved in didn't work as well. Aside from perhaps the blank bullets test scene, I think every Donner scene has a place in the film, however if you use the blank bullets scene, then you have to use the opening scene(s) when Lois throws herself out the window and that means no Paris sequence, like it or hate it.
