Overrated director.


People often speak of him like he's one of the greats, but I don't think he's ever done a classic or even an amazing movie.

Have you seen the Wild Bunch? One of the greatest movies of all time.

reply

Yes, I like it but I wouldn't say it's great or even a classic. There are much better Westerns out there.

reply

It’s his best movie. I think Straw Dogs is over rated. I didn’t like it much.

reply

I thought Straw Dogs was overrated too.

reply

The Wild Bunch is one of my favorite old westerns. For me its a classic, but it is too violent for some people.

reply

1969 is not really an "old" western. "Stagecoach" is an old western. "The Wild Buch" is a modern western.

reply

a classic
