[Huntingtons]

both have made really good movies (in some cases) wont vote

 

[Raven]

Very close, but Ridley Scott gets it with Gladiator and Alien.

 

[Huntingtons]

ridley gets it coz of dark angel

 

[Lamp]

ridley gets it coz of dark angel

Cameron directed Dark Angel

 

[Huntingtons]

my point exactly

 

[Cerb]

scott if for nothing more than Gladiator!

 

[dub]

bladerunner v nothing , easy choice

 

[Dantares]

Was going to say that Blade Runner makes this a none contest. Titanic also is a good enough reason to vote for Ridley Scott. Same reasoning as Huntingtons.

 

[Lamp]

Alien & Gladiator swung it for me

 

[Mojo]

Brits > Yanks

So Ridley wins by default.

 

[Helme]

Ridley Scott, even though Cameron isn't far behind.

 

[Chronictank]

on reflection i should have voted Ridley Scott

 

[Bahumat]

Carlo Ancelotti

 

[Sparx]

Ben Dover

 

[Gibbo]

James Cameron made Titanic, a crime for which he should never be forgiven.

 

[soze]

Bryan Singer as he made my favorite film of all time.

 

[Septima]

[Lamp]

why ? He's not a classical old-boy network type director, but he's made really popular clever movies that people love

Then he made revolver and destroyed all that he is a dud the level of bad in that film took from him the good of lock stock and snatch

 

[Lamp]

Was always going to be tough to top Lock Stock & Snatch TBH

Layer Cake ? No
The Business ? Definitely not
Football Factory ? Fun
Green Street ? Not bad, but Football Factory was better
Transporter ? Nothing amazing

Go back a few decades:

Get Carter: Superb !
Long Good Friday: Excellent !

 

[Ezteq]

my point exactly

roffle!

 

[Huntingtons]

revolver fucking rocked and still does, people are just annoyed it wasnt another lock stock and 2 smoking snatches

 

[confused]

Honestly is there a contest??

Blade runner, gladiator, Alien....
