#29. Brian De Palma
Ranked ListWith 6 titles in my Essentials, Brian De Palma used to be my favorite director working. You'll notice I've even seen many of De Palma's early films and his unpopular comedies.
Like a relationship we broke up during an advance screening of Snake Eyes (with the original ending). For the opening dazzle I was in love and as the film went on, the flaws became harder to ignore and by the end I was dazed and depressed. I didn't want to believe it and looked for the good in Mission to Mars and thought Femme Fatale might be De Palma getting back on his feet, but The Black Dahlia was terrible and Redacted was Casualties of War remade on nothing but bad choices.
Because of that, I haven't seen Passion, but I'm ready to do it. I'd also like to see Murder à la Mod, though I don't know if I'm going to be able to find it. Most excitedly, I'm going to re-watch Raising Cain, which of the ones I really enjoy is the one I remember the least.
