Since there is AN OLIVER STONE FILM approaching from the west in November, I thought it would be a good time to see what people think are his best 5 films

1. JFK
2. Platoon
3. Born On The Fourth Of July
4. Any Given Sunday
5. Nixon

1. JFK
2. Born on the Fourth of July
3. Platoon (although it's a bit too "Oliver-Stoney" these days)
4. Most of his other films tie for fourth, since they look like he's just trying to rip off his own style most of the time.

Worst:

1. U-turn (for the same reason, multiplied by 100)
2. The Doors (too hippy-trippy)
3. Any Given Sunday (just plain gay)

And, although I like the Tarantino element of NBK, I've never bought it on video, because I HATE the fact that

Natural Born Killers - As director
Platoon - As director

And more three masterpieces as writer

Midnight Express - Alan Parker
Year of the Dragon - cant remember the director
Scarface - Brian de Palma masterpiece 🙂

I think he is overrated, but his best films are Platoon and Natural Born Killers.
