It's a favorite of some folks. Weird folks.

Waltz might be the most overrated actor in Hollywood.

Jackie Brown is top Tarantino for me.

After Hours is not tops Scorsese, but it is truly great.

Pound for pound, I think Scorsese and Kubrick are hard to beat

Scott's stock rose considerably with The Last Duel. Good movie. Tells three stories.

Ridley Scott is great but he is the precise opposite of consistent.

I'd say David Lean but I've never seen Ryan's Daughter and I guess that one is iffy.
