Best Paul Verhoeven Movie...
 
Which is the best Paul Verhoeven movie? My personal favourite is Total Recall, although I almost just as liked RoboCop and Starship Troopers.

But the less said about Show Girls the better...

Terrell 11-07-05 01:15 PM

Never been all that impressed with Verhoeven's work, but I do like Total Recall quite a bit.

Giles 11-07-05 01:21 PM

oh we're talking best Hollywood Verhoeven movie... cause my favourite is "The Fourth Man"

"Robocop" though is my favourite mainstream movie of his.

Geofferson 11-07-05 01:46 PM

Hollywood: Total Recall
Non-Hollywood: Soldier of Orange

marty888 11-07-05 01:56 PM

Giles 11-07-05 02:16 PM

funny, I don't see Basic Instinct listed - and I just rented it from the library over the weekend.

Basic Instinct

Starship Troopers, baby, that movie rocks although so do his other films.

starship Troopers was my favorite movie when I was young. Im sure it still holds up. I loved it.

Hiro11 11-07-05 02:40 PM

IMO, Starship Troopers is the most brilliantly subversive movie made in the last few decades in Hollywood. Robocop comes in as a close second.

UAIOE 11-07-05 02:41 PM

I voted "Robocop" but it's always a tie between that and "Total Recall".

How can one not like that exploding head scene in TR. :lol:

STARSHIP TROOPERS leads over TOTAL RECALL?! I'm sure if I had a loaded weapon in my hand, I'd have to end it all right here, right now...god-damn, people...

matome 11-07-05 02:56 PM

Robocop

Total Recall is brilliant in its total destruction of a pathetic loser's macho fantasy, but Starship Troopers is where Verhoeven's knives really come out.

Fok 11-07-05 03:13 PM

Robocop then Starship troupers.

Mordred 11-07-05 03:24 PM

Total Recall with Robocop a close second.

Andalusia 11-07-05 03:26 PM

Robocop.

Joe Molotov 11-07-05 04:03 PM

Robocop

NatrlBornThrllr 11-07-05 04:25 PM

Soldier of Orange...but I voted RoboCop. Sentimental reasons and all.

Showgirls man. Boobies! :hump:

Seriously...Robocop then Total Recall then Starship Troopers.

Cygnet74 11-07-05 04:54 PM

Kal-El 11-07-05 05:56 PM
