I voted Verhoeven in my original ballot but couldn't fit him in my revised ballot. But it was mostly for Flesh + Blood. Glad to know about the Parkinson thing, any details on that?

I have no problem with "cartoon ppl" being included. Jones wouldn't have crossed my mind but I can understand why people voted for him.

He was filling in for Barry Norman on Film whatever year it was and he claimed to have walked out of the movie in disgust

88. Jean Cocteau(421 points; 6 votes)
― Fred Klinkenberg (Eric H.), Monday, 15 January 2018 18:31 (six years ago) link
One of those directors where I couldn't judge their body of work. I've only seen 4 Cocteau movies -- 2 were great and 2 weren't.

Just getting back from lunch. Orpheus is a top thirty film for me but I don't care for the rest.

Cocteau made the unranked section of my ballot based on a pretty small sampling of work, simply because that sampling blew my tiny mind. Worth it, I regret nothing.

I didn't vote for Vigo, thinking others would.

gotta say this seems a bit low tho
i voted for Frank <3

A ballot with just 50 slots is just too short...

Not going to lie, I'm surprised he made it in the way things were going there. Also, SMH at the lot of you.

I watched both The Phantom of the Paradise and Carrie in theaters full of students when I was in college, and the excitement I felt from the audience's reactions to both of them were as overwhelming to me as the films themselves.
― Dan S, Monday, 15 January 2018 19:46 (six years ago) link
You De Palma voters will be getting a visit from Billy Blanco from the Bronx when this poll is finished 🔫🔫🔫
― calzino, Monday, 15 January 2018 19:48 (six years ago) link
the affection for The Phantom of the Paradise mystifies me. I like De Palma, didn't vote for him.
― morning wood truancy (Alfred, Lord Sotosyn), Monday, 15 January 2018 19:48 (six years ago) link
I liked it when I was a kid, but have never gone back to it.
― calzino, Monday, 15 January 2018 19:49 (six years ago) link
I love Phantom of the Paradise but most other De Palma leaves me cold. And Phantom is pretty silly (I mean, that's why I love it, but personally "silly" doesn't equate to "greatest ever").
― emil.y, Monday, 15 January 2018 19:51 (six years ago) link
I just watched Dressed To Kill for the first time yesterday. I voted for him after also seeing The Fury and Body Double for the first time recently and those being two of the most enjoyable things I've seen in years.
For a long time he was one of those directors I assumed I wouldn't like much (and to be honest I'm still reluctant to see his gangster and war films) but I really love the bunch I saw last year and Phantom Of Paradise.

Although having said that I am still ruing my neglect of Joe Dante, I should've changed my ballot, I think.

'Like but didn't vote for' as per Alfred applies here really well. Good films but they p much leave me cold.

I'm definitely going to check out more De Palma.

I came that close to using a still from La Commune, but figured with Watkins I'd better go iconic.
― Fred Klinkenberg (Eric H.), Monday, 15 January 2018 20:14 (six years ago) link
Still, La Commune was one of the more memorable moments of my early-days cinephilia.

pretty sure I've managed to see almost exclusively the wrong De Palmas: Scarface, Untouchables, Bonfire, Carlito's Way, Mission Impossible, Mission to Mars, Femme Fatale. FF probably the best of that bunch tbh, though MI is refreshingly auteurist in our current franchise era
