James Cameron v Ridley Scott

[Lamp]

Honestly is there a contest??

6 people seem to think so

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 !

I honestly think Layer Cake was better than both Snatch and Lock Stock it is prolly my second favorite movie now. Agree with you on the others Transporter should not be on the list

That is why i love movies if everyone loved the same films there would only be 12 a year

Ridley Scott wins hands down, the cinematography in his films is always amazing, even in Legend. Most big scenes are visually stunning. Also the tense atmosphere he can developes in films like Alien was amazing.

Totally different style to Cameron who tends to go for fast paced action and always uses big names to make the films.

Scott uses a lot of B list good actors to great effect. The man is an artist.

TBH this is like comparing Michelangelo with Damien Hirst.

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

You swung my vote, and Ridley Scott's made some of my favourite films ever.
