ok bad title, but name some directors that made great films then followed it up with a DUD

i'll start

ang lee - crouching tiger then the Hulk

7/16/2007 11:58:21 PM

Francis Ford Coppola post-Apocalypse Now (except for Dracula, which was awesome).

7/17/2007 12:01:49 AM

^^ Ang Lee's biggest dip was between The Ice Storm and Ride with the Devil

7/17/2007 12:15:19 AM

I liked The Hulk

7/17/2007 12:32:45 AM

Michael Cimino - The Deer Hunter then Heaven's Gate

7/17/2007 1:46:40 AM

Peter Jackson= Return of the king to King Kong

7/17/2007 8:21:35 AM

^^^ you, me, and maybe one other person in the world are the sole likers of that movie

7/17/2007 8:35:53 AM

The Hulk was awful

7/17/2007 8:36:52 AM

point proven

7/17/2007 8:51:08 AM

I liked the Hulk

7/17/2007 9:06:02 AM

Guy Ritchie - Snatch followed by Revolver

7/17/2007 9:27:43 AM

One small dip was Chris Columbus going from Home Alone to Only The Lonely.

But then of course he bounced back with Ms Doubtfire, Home Alone 2, and later the first two Harry Potter movies.

I would also call pretty much Tony Scott's entire run after Spy Game. The cuts and zooms in Man on Fire pretty much ruined it for me.

7/17/2007 9:28:14 AM

Michael Bay - Transformers followed by any other movie directed by Michael Bay

7/17/2007 11:05:23 AM

Doug Liman - Bourne Identity to Mr. and Mrs. Smith

7/17/2007 11:10:49 AM

I'm gonna throw Tarantino on the list and say Pulp Fiction to Jackie Brown.

7/17/2007 11:13:27 AM

Paul Thomas Anderson - Boogie Nights to Magnolia.

Actually it's even worse Snatch followed by Cast Away or whatever that shit with Modonna it was.

7/17/2007 11:32:45 AM

^^ Magnolia was a great movie. It was definitely on par with Boogie Nights.

magnolia is his best movie, in fact. gtfo.

7/17/2007 12:04:13 PM

no fucking way. Boogie Nights is one of the best movies ever. I could watch it every day

7/17/2007 12:18:02 PM

^^ If it is, it's only because he stole the idea from Short Cuts

7/17/2007 12:24:24 PM

^ He did say he was greatly inspired by Robert Altman. Altman might be the best when it comes to the multiple story lines. I think PTA's best movie is Punch Drunk Love.

King Kong was good, bad cgi and slow startup notwithstanding.

7/17/2007 12:30:00 PM

magnolia was a giant waste of time in my opinion
i bet noone has ever seen it more than once, by choice

7/17/2007 10:28:57 PM

i thought it was alright, just so very long.

7/17/2007 10:59:29 PM

LOTR1 with LOTR2, LOTR3, King Kong as shitty follow ups.

^^sarijoul watches it every fortnight.

I've seen it at least 7 times...

7/17/2007 11:18:08 PM

i saw it seven times at the theater and i'm not sure how many times on dvd.

but i haven't seen it in probably three years.

i actually think i prefer punchdrunk love to magnolia, but that might be just because i've seen it so much less.

ohyeah and:
