which one do you think is Brian De Palma's best movie?

Blow Out. A perfectly crafted, riveting thriller in the mode of The Conversation and of course Blow Up, with deeply sympathetic performances by Travolta and Allen. I would have included Obsession, Raising Cain, or even Hi, Mom! or Greetings instead of Mission:Impossible, Femme Fatale or Carlito's Way.

Carlito's Way is actually my favorite of his. Couldn't leave that one out.

Blow Out gets my vote. I also love, love The Untouchables and especially Phantom of the Paradise (one of the most sorely underrated cult favorites ever).

easy question:

1. Carlito's Way is IMO the best de palma film followed by:
2. The Untouchables and
3. Scarface

I forgot about this one. Great, weird late night fun.

Mission To Mars

Scarface.

It's a toss-up between Vertigo and Strangers on a Train.

Looking at that list reminds me of how De Palma can let good films get bloated and lazily-paced. Blow Out is a clear exception and gets my vote.

this is a really hard question because i think depalma in his prime is fucking brilliant but i went with BLOW OUT.

I'll pick Carrie, but I like horror movies more than anything anyway ( except for westerns maybe)
I also like Blow Out and Dressed to Kill
I thought Femme Fatale was terrible.
I bought that years ago and traded it back in within the week.

Carlito's Way had the best performances from his cast. Untouchables probably had some of the most memorable lines and scenes. I voted Carlito.

The Untouchables. Although, I really like Mission Impossible and the unmentioned Body Double.

I went ahead and voted Blow Out, but my opinion could change in the near future since a few of the other options are in my "Unwatched DVD Pile"

Other: Body Double. Say what you'll like, but I love that movie and could watch it again and again. Although The Untouchables gives it a run for its money, as does Blow Out.

Sisters is pretty good in the first 20 minutes, then it turns into a suck fest.

De Palma's Best and Worst...you make the call!

Scarface for sure - a classic!

I think I spent 1/3 of the '80s watching that movie over and over again on HBO.

I've always had a soft spot for Scarface. It's got all of De Palma's trademark camera work, a grand, epic story, loads of violence and a rockin' soundtrack.

Close second: Carrie or Blow-Out.

Phantom of the Paradise is my favorite by far.

The Untouchables for me. I LOVE that movie. It should have won Best Picture.

scarface, so silly and over the top, ya gotta love it

Body Double is great too. It's Rear Window with porno!

Blow Out
