I have a visceral reaction to advertising and promotion. There's just something about salesmanship that grates on me on a very base level and I react very negatively towards it. I want those people to suffer and I want their enterprises to fail.

Manhunter disqualifies Mann with prejudice.
FUCK YOU
Heat and Collateral are also pretty not-excellent.
Literally the worst opinion I’ve ever heard

The Insider was okay I guess but certainly not excellent

My dude it was over earlier in this thread when you endorsed Tarantino!

At least we'll always have LOST.

Jericho (TV movie) was first, Thief second, Keep third.

Another one who’s only made three movies: S. Craig Zahler. Not sure if I’m ready to call Bone Tomahawk excellent but it’s pretty close, and the two that followed definitely are.

David Fincher is definitely in the conversation, for me. Everything up to Gone Girl I would call "excellent."

Ditto Lynch. I haven't seen Dune but everything that I've seen is excellent.

Dune is not excellent

Don't get me wrong, it's one of my favorite sci fi movies, but I'm well aware of it's flaws. I'll excited to see what Villeneuve will do. He's one that could get mentioned here.

I didn't love Prisoners but I've loved everything else.
