This is a new entry in an up-dated series I'm calling the Critical Consensus. I am averaging the opinions of several excellent film critics to produce a list of each director's movies. I use a five-star system. The films will be listed in a recommended viewing order, so new fans will have an idea of where the best place to start watching a director's work is.
These are not my opinions, although, since I have chosen the critics used (and I'm using many), my taste will perhaps seep through a bit.
Terribly nerdy, I know, but maybe this will help people only now beginning to dabble into certain artists' bodies of work.
Scale:
***** - Masterpiece
**** 1/2 - Classic
**** - Great
*** 1/2 - Good
*** - Above Average
** 1/2 - Average
** - Below Average
* 1/2 - Bad
* - Terrible
1/2 - One of the worst films ever
Nice start, but are you having trouble finding sources for his other movies? I'd love to hear how some of the others stack up!
You guessed it. Hopefully, with all the attention his last two films have nabbed him, I can update this list with more films soon.
Thanks!
Shalom, y'all!
