Jackie Brown is probably the best thing he's made

It's a favorite of some folks. Weird folks.

Waltz might be the most overrated actor in Hollywood.

Jackie Brown is top Tarantino for me.

After Hours is not tops Scorsese, but it is truly great.

Pound for pound, I think Scorsese and Kubrick are hard to beat

Sam Raimi

John Carpenter

James Cameron

Ridley Scott

Kathryn Bigelow

Scott's stock rose considerably with The Last Duel. Good movie. Tells three stories.

Ridley Scott is great but he is the precise opposite of consistent.
