Favorite Paul Veroeven Movie? - Page 2 - Blu-ray Forum

KubrickFan · 11-04-2010, 10:40 AM

I was sure to find people only voting for his American output, and I'm glad that's not completely the case. I have to say that his Dutch output is superior to the English output. Criterion should release those on Blu-ray

.
Too bad he left Holland because he couldn't make the movies he wanted to, only to be stuck in the sci-fi genre in Hollywood. Anyway, I really couldn't choose, but ended up voting for Soldier of Orange.

I voted Showgirls but I also like Basic Instinct, Starship Troopers, & Robocop. Got Em!!

Starship Troopers followed by Robocop

DoubleDownAgain · 11-04-2010, 11:24 PM

Went with Starship Troopers but coudl have easily went with Robocop. Also enjoyed Total Recall & Black Book. Showgirls is also a guilty pleasure. I've been meaning to try and hunt down some of his earlier stuff.

I had obviously a top 3 with Paul. Robocop, Total Recall, Starship Troopers. I selected Total Recall, That in a visual sense is a was just delicious for me when I was growing up. Starship Troopers gave me the best cinematic experience (one of my favourite experiences with sound). And Robocop is an absolute classic. But I happily settled on TR.

Nielsb90 · 12-13-2010, 08:28 PM

I voted Starship Troopers.. However, there are a lot of them that I haven't seen, Robocop being one of them, so its not really a fair vote from me

AKORIS · 12-14-2010, 02:57 AM

I really enjoy STARSHIP TROOPERS but it doesn't come close to ROBOCOP or TOTAL RECALL to me...

I would've said 4th Man just to show off (and slap the Robocop fanboys and the Showgirls gigglers), but fact is, it is that good.

Starship Troopers I love it even though I prefer the "message" of the book

kolibri · 01-01-2011, 12:32 AM

My heart says Robocop, whilst my head says Black Book. Tough choice but Black Book won out. Total Recall and Soldier of Orange were also in the mix.

I think it's fair to say Verhoeven has made some excellent English language films, however on reflection it's his Dutch output that is the most powerful.

Alexias_dad · 01-01-2011, 03:32 AM

STARSHIP TROOPERS

Ite · 01-01-2011, 07:57 AM

Lots of good ones but I pick Robocop.

sfmarine · 01-02-2011, 08:52 PM

Starship Troopers ftw!

OG Pooh · 01-02-2011, 08:54 PM

I love Total Recall... Otherwise, I am not a fan. Starship Troopers was probably the bottom of the barrel.

Slick Nick · 01-03-2011, 07:50 PM

The man's a genius.

I'd go for Robocop as the best.

I love Total Recall as well... it's the only film I can think of where when I start to watch it, I can never quite remember the twists and turns, so it's always fresh.

Think I'll have to get a few of his non Hollywood/obscure films on my Lovefilm list.

GLaDOS · 01-03-2011, 07:52 PM

Starship Troopers

lucv13 · 01-04-2011, 03:23 AM

Chose Basic Instinct but have only seen 5 on the list - I do want to see Black Book though in the future...

MarcelS1 · 04-05-2011, 06:20 PM

Starship Troopers - Way over the top, i liked it.

arcadeforest · 07-07-2012, 03:42 PM

Total Recall

Dragon Lee · 07-07-2012, 05:41 PM

apart from Robocop & Starship Troopers, 2 cult classics, the rest of his films including Total Recall, do nothing for me. Not a huge fan of the man.
