I have Talk Radio on my watchlist i watched it with a friend maybe 20 years ago. back then i was still reminded by the ben stiller skit based off the film, he did a couple of oliver stone skits i remember. i someytimes appreciate the creative films that take place in mostly one location. |

Even his worst movie isn't very bad. He is a terrific filmmaker.
1. Platoon - 9/10
2. JFK - 9/10
3. Born on the Fourth of July - 8.5/10
4. Natural Born Killers - 8/10
5. Talk Radio - 7.5/10
6. Nixon - 7.5/10
7. World Trade Center - 7.5/10
8. Snowden - 7.5/10
9. Salvador - 7.5/10
10. W. - 7.5/10
11. Heaven & Earth - 7/10
12. The Doors - 7/10
13. Any Given Sunday - 7/10
14. Wall Street - 7/10
15. Wall Street: Money Never Sleeps - 7/10
16. Alexander - 6.5/10
17. Savages - 6.5/10
18. The Hand - 6.5/10
19. U-Turn - 6.5/10
U-Turn is a case of nothing new not done particularly well imo. It is saved by the performances and some nutty directing choices.
I know you hate The Hand but for me it is an entertaining B horror film and is anchored by a excellent performance from Michael Caine.
Alexander is ultimitely a misfire but there is greatness here and there and it certainly doesn't pull any punches. Stone goes for broke with the movie but doesn't quite hit the mark. It also has a fantastic score from the brilliant Vangelis.

1. U-Turn (underrated / under appreciated awesome film. My favorite Sean Penn performance with some hilarious cameos . Plus JLo gets nude in it...whats not to like?? I give it a re watch all the time)
2. Platoon
3. NBK
4. JFK
5. Hmmmm this one is tough, cause I dig both Snowden & Savages was good trashy fun featuring some great supporting acting. I'll give the edge to Snowden cause its a more "important " film .
A lot of folks say Oliver Stone has fallen off but I still love the guy as a director

Ha, I do admit that U-Turn might be an acquired taste but I fucking love how wacky it gets. The cameos featuring Phoenix, Daines, Voight and Billy Bob Thorton are just so great imo. IMO his worst film is hands down Wall Street Money Never Sleeps. Shia looked like a little kid trying to be an adult. Can't stand that little twerp. |

I think it's an entertaining and interesting sequel. I do get why people like U-Turn but it's a bit too been there done that for me. The directing is just all over the place imo. Have you seen Red Rock West or Bad Day at Black Rock? I still think it's a solid movie though and that shows you how big of a Stone fan I am. |

My Top 5:
Born On The 4th of July
The Doors
Platoon
Salvador
JFK
Not too many people realize this but Seizure is a low budget Canadian horror film (a very strange one, might I add), and it was Stone's directorial debut. Guess he had to start somewhere.
