Best 3-Film Run by a Director

[RP-29]

Trey Parker

Orgazmo
South Park: Bigger, Longer & Uncut
Team America: World Police

 

[Taddy Mason]

that was a joke list... and anything not named Sixth Sense by M Night Shamalangadingdong is complete shit.

the correct joke list would be Uwe Boll

House of the Dead
Alone in the Dark
BloodRayne

 

[PatsFan2003]

I’m still taking Fincher.
Some of those entries are laughable.
If Oh Brother wasn’t below below each of the Fincher movies, Coens might have it.

Se7en
The Game
Fight Club

Honestly? While Se7en and Fight Club are excellent films, the Game is decidedly average. Sorry nothing is going to change that.

Both Hitchcock, Lean, Wilder and others blow those out of the water.

 

[Taddy Mason]

I'll go to the wayback machine, Fritz Lang

Die Nibelungen: Siegfried
Die Nibelungen: Kriemhild's Revenge
Metropolis

 

[TheDayMan]

Retards of a feather roll down the hill together.


Really though, they are completely different types of movies, but that stretch of M Night movies is FAR better overall than any Kevin Smith movie. Don't get me wrong, I like Dogma, but Chasing Amy is vastly overrated and Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back is very repetitive and can only watch like once every decade or so.

 

[Clayton]

I think if the ending to Fight Club would have been better id hold it with the greats.

Se7en is good but nothing I'd watch more than once.

I'm not a movie auteur, but for pure entertainment value :

Steven Spielberg
Jaws, Close Encounters, 1941, Raiders
He might have been a lock if not for 1941.
Also had Jurassic Park, Schindler's List, JP : Lost World

John Carpenter
The Fog, Escape from New York, The Thing

James Cameron
Terminator, Aliens, Abyss
T2, True Lies, Titanic (this is tough to beat)

Stephen Soderbergh
Erin Brockovich, Traffic, Ocean's Eleven

Adam McKay
Anchorman, Talladega Nights, Step Brothers

Peter Jackson
Lord of the Rings Trilogy I-III

I don’t think you know what the word ‘auteur’ means, actually.

Also, your list is absolute shit. Please get fucked at your earliest convenience

Lighten up, Francis.

Will you dazzle us with your list, please?

I’m about to make a shoot-off thread on this topic.

Off the top of my head, Christopher Nolan

Batman Begins (5/5 stars)
The Prestige (4.5/5 stars)
The Dark Knight (5/5 stars)

Coppola would probably be in second place

The Conversation (4/5 stars)
The Godfather Part II (3.5/5 stars)
Apocalypse Now (5/5 stars)

LOL at your Godfather II rating.

 

[Irish Springs Body Wash]

LOL at your Godfather II rating.

.....you should see my rating for the first Godfather

(2/5 stars)

I think my new thread shall be a good conversation starter.

always good to know early whose ratings to ignore.

Godfather
Godfather 2
Apocalypse Now

This is not a 3 film run by a director, by the way.

Not that you’re the first person ITT to break the rules.

everybody gets a mulligan...

 

[Sparhawk]

Obvious trolling attempt is...... obvious.

 

[Roy Munson]

Stephen Herek

Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure
Don't Tell Mom the Babysitter's Dead
The Mighty Ducks

 

[Yankee Traveler]

John Hughes

Sixteen Candles
The Breakfast Club
Ferris Bueller's Day off


*if you forget that Weird Science is in the middle there...

John Hughes.
Just John Hughes.

End of discussion.

Pick almost any 4 movie sequence and it's a grand slam.
Any movie and it's either a block buster, cult classic or both.

 

[Irish Springs Body Wash]

Obvious trolling attempt is...... obvious.

When you disagree with someone and have no logical response..... just call them a troll.

Joseph McCarthy did a similar thing in the 50s, albeit with a different word.

Made that off the top of my head. Haven't seen The Conversation.

He didn't explicitly say it had to be 3 consecutive films anyway. Was just going with within a general time frame.

I gotcha. I think if you start moving films around, it kind of messes up the whole exercise, but this is a message board and I get where you’re coming from.

I definitely recommend The Conversation though. It was released in 1974, and has only become more and more relevant as the years pass.
