10. They're all going to laugh at you!
We'll pray! :evilgrin:

Really it's about the director. DePalma is a master at cinematography. The longest single tracking shot in Bonfire of the Vanities. 120 frames a second slo-mo in Femme Fatale. He's a slow motion master and it's poetry, Dressed to Kill, Body Double, The Fury, Blow Out, Scarface, and nobody can forget the train station gunfight scene in Untouchables. Nobody else could shoot up Tom Cruise's nose (Mission Impossible 1) and still work in Hollywood. Eh' I like DePalma. His choices of what he makes aren't always good, but his direction skills are unsurpassed.

Yeah I'm a nut, but you find a Stephen King story adapted as well as Carrie, or any other horror film period, which was the first film of a SK novel made. IMHO, it ranks up there with 1933 Frankenstein, Sixth Sense, Psycho, Alien, The original Omen, Rosemary's Baby, Exorcist, Jaws, The Birds, as the cream of the horror genre. Don't give me Halloween. Hack and slash crap.
