Re: Your favorite Danny Boyle
My fav Boyle film is Sunshine. And it was close to being a damn near perfect Science fiction film..but then it changes genres. So so so soooooo close. I still love it and think the change there at the end doesn't affect it's overall quality but it sure as hell fucks it up as a near perfect genre piece.

The "waah, they aren't zombies!" complaints are made by huge, massive nerds. Anyone who can't let "zombie" slide when anyone else describes 28 days later needs to shoot themselves in the head.

I voted for The Beach, because no else has and I want it on Bluray.

The Beach.
always loved this film. everything else he has done has been mediocre, including Sunshine and Trainspotting.

Trainspotting is his best, but Shallow Grave is my favorite. Sunshine started his slide into mediocrity, Slumdog confirmed it.

She's in his next movie...hmmm
Exactly. I happen to enjoy the third act just as much as the first two.
The strong acting, direction, cinematography, score - all brings such emotion for me. Amazing film.

I haven't seen all his movies but looking at that list it's impressing how he's able to drastically change the genre while still making quality films.

I feel like it totally ruins the film. The movie goes from a 10 to a 1 pretty fast and never recovers.
