Re: Coppola or Kubrick?

I would take 2001: A Space Odyssey over any 10 Coppola films. Throw in A Clockwork Orange and Barry Lyndon and it's over.

Re: Coppola or Kubrick?

I do have to give Cruise credit for his work in Magnolia, though. Not quite to the level of his work in EWS, but close. It's also the only good thing about that horrid film.

Re: Coppola or Kubrick?

I first saw it when I was 15, and I could only appreciate its surface pleasures (the visuals, the ominous dread). Having lived more, I now think it may be the most layered of all of Kubrick's films.

Re: Coppola or Kubrick?

Solid Snake, EWS is so much more than just a visual spectacle. Definitely read Traumnovelle and check out some critical essays on the film.

Re: Coppola or Kubrick?

Eyes Wide Shut is an example of a film about dreams that is both technically stunning and emotionally relevant, unlike Inception. ;)

Re: Coppola or Kubrick?

I consider 2001: A Space Odyssey to be the greatest thing put on film (with Duck Amuck a close second), but the things that Godard did in the 60's still boggles my mind.

Re: Coppola or Kubrick?

I think I might choose Jodorowsky just to spite you all. ;)

And I wasn't taking offense. I just didn't use a smiley to indicate I was joking.

Re: Coppola or Kubrick?

Alright smarty pants, if you could save only one filmmaker's filmography, whose would it be?

Re: Coppola or Kubrick?

Actually, the one filmmaker I might consider choosing over Kubrick, Godard, is one of the ones who helped secure Hitchcock's place as the poster child for the auteur theory.

Re: Coppola or Kubrick?

Yes. If someone asked me to keep only one filmmaker's work while everything else was destroyed, I'd keep Kubrick's. And I wouldn't hesitate in that decision, either.

Re: Coppola or Kubrick?

No, it's not because he came before. Scorsese was not referring to when he was a kid, but now, as a master filmmaker, and he still looks up to Kubrick.

If you changed the question to, "Whose films...

Re: Coppola or Kubrick?

Scorsese is great, but he's said in interviews that he (and every filmmaker he knows, which is quite a few) looked up to Kubrick, and would rush to the theater every time a new Kubrick film came out.

Re: Coppola or Kubrick?

Even if Coppola's work only consisted of his 70's output, this still wouldn't be a contest. Kubrick is film. Put any director in place of Coppola and Kubrick will still win every single time.
