In Reply to: I gotta put Scorsese in the top rank! posted by Harmonia on November 22, 2002 at 11:01:24:
but we do agree on Speilberg :). After doing some research since my initial post, I believe I would put Scorsese in the next ten - there are loads of directors who have made very good films, and been spotty otherwise. Scorsese is probably one of the best of those.And yes, Coppola's stinkers are what almost sunk him on my list. That and one other thing. It always bothered me that there was never a screen credit on "Apocalypse Now" crediting "Heart of Darkness" or Joseph Conrad. And I looked closely for one. I think it's OK to adapt, and I think Coppola did a fine job, but it should have been credited. Just wanted to get that off my chest.
I gave at the office!
