#292 Ron Shelton
Ranked ListFull disclosure, I met my wife on reshoots for Hollywood Homicide. Really that's more of a humble brag because as you can see by my rankings, the film is unwatchable and only good for marking the year I met the love of my life.
When Shelton burst on the scene, I thought he would be a sports-based version of Aaron Sorkin, with the toughness of David Mamet, or at least John Milius. Instead, he imploded spectacularly with Cobb and after a slight comeback with Tin Cup became increasingly uninteresting. He is responsible for one of my favorite lines of dialogue. From Bull Durham:
"From what I hear, you couldn't hit water if you fell out of a CINECAST!ing boat."There's nothing new calling to me, but I'm going to watch
Cobb again. When I first saw it, it was like Mama Mia where the film is so bad it manages to turn its lunacy into genuine entertainment.
