I love Dune and consider it to be one of Lynch's best, even though he's pretty much disowned it due to studio interference.

Nolan's films are neither intelligent nor visually stunning.

There's nothing original about what Tarantino does, contrary to the popular opinion that he's so unique and distinctive.

Dissagree with FMJ.Nolan has done some visually stunning movies-agree on the intellectual part to some extent.Tarantinos two first movies are (or should that be were?) original.He later sank into obscurity.

@TS:Hitchcock overrated?Depends on what you expect,but a director with that resyme hardly qualifies for that term.


As for me:I think Spielberg is way overrated.Think Jaws is one of the best movies ever made,but after that he became synonimous with sentimentality and simplistic.But that is me.
