Directors who fell off

[THE 101]

Coppola's is probably the most striking.

The Godfather, Pt 1 &2, The Conversation and Apocalypse Now is debatably the GOAT run. But One From the Heart flopping ruined him creatively and financially.

I fukks with Rumblefish and even recent stuff like Tetro isn't without it's merits but breh went from top 10 to not mentioned at all. Losing his mind in the jungle whilst shooting Apocalypse Now probably didn't help.

if you haven't seen Hearts of Darkness (the doc his wife made) it's worth a watch

honestly you could probably find it on youtube or daily motion

I don't care what anyone says Avatar fukking sucked.

Hype Williams.

Hype was never a great director, perhaps a great cinematographer...which is cool for music videos but for movies not so much.

Strongly disagree. PTA has reached a decisive moment in his career where his movies are becoming more and more his own instead of him making movies heavily influenced by or homaging other directors (Hard Eight/Lumet, Boogie Nights/Scorsese, Magnolia/Altman, Punch-Drunk Love/Godard, There Will Be Blood/Kubrick). I expect him to start making the most interesting movies of his career now, although they may not always be the most (mainstream) accessible.

Michael Mann........ sadly.... homeboy has lost his edge... miami vice with the handheld digital only cameras is a bad idea.... I want to watch a movie, not a documentary...
