Poll: Favorite Kathryn Bigelow Directed Movie.
Ok lets have it folks, your favorite Kathryn Bigelow directed movie.
Mine is a toss up between Point Break and Strange Days. I liked (and disliked) both for different reasons. With Strange Days it was one of those movies I love and hate at the same time, why, I don't know? With Point Break it was a movie I took kind of seriously at times, but when I looked at the big picture of it, I was like WTF am I thinking? The story was a little thin, but I did like the idea of it all. With Strange Days i was a big fan of the cast but the characters are very cliched. My vote goes to Point Break.
Lets hear it.

Near Dark edges out Strange Days. I also like K-19 (probably in the minority there). Point Break is just too dumb, IMO.

I've never seen Near Dark, but Strange Days is my top choice. It's an engaging stylish thriller that really works because Ralph Fiennes and Angela Bassett really sell those characters and make them work. Bassett in particular, who I think is fabulous in the movie: a great mixture of strength and feminity, something most action heroines never can pull off.

Spoiler:
Just trivial, but I thought it was pretty cool. I honestly never even thought about that fact all these years, until I bought the DVD and read the liner notes inside.
Great movie.

I showed it to my friend a few years ago because he loves Vampire movies and he hated it. It's one of my favorites.
