#88 Danny Boyle
Ranked ListTwo interesting notes about this thread:
1. The poll contains no options for Haven't Seen, Don't Like or Other and so far nobody has complained about that, which would speak very highly of Boyle's abilities.
2. My own ranked list has been inexplicably missing
28 Days Later... even though it's my 2nd favorite Boyle film.
So, yeah, I like Danny Boyle a lot, though I used to like him a lot more. (I owned the DVD for The Beach and Vacuuming Completely Nude in Paradise.) The editing in his films is typically masterful and there's no shortage of creativity, though his approach has gone more commercial over time. (Not the material, but his way of presenting it.)
I keep putting off
T2 Trainspotting for no good reason and now I have no excuse. I also want to re-watch
Slumdog Millionaire, which I liked far less than I expected to.
Also, there's a rumor right now that he might direct the next James Bond film. That would be awesome.
