He’s also way more versatile that people give him credit for. The same guy that did all the gangster stuff has also done films like The Age of Innocence, Kundun, After Hours, Bringing out the Dead, The King of Comedy, etc. He’s actually my #1 favorite director (along with Kubrick). And probably always will be.

Also, my wife hated me for dragging her to see Silence when we were dating lol. It was at one of our local art house theaters and that’s a long and heavy film when you aren’t in comfy seats. He did reuse an actor in that one btw. Liam Neeson was in Gangs of New York.

It’s also kind of funny you brought him up in this thread given his opinion on the state of cinema, and particularly all the big comic book franchises and IP’s.

Of course, I am speaking with a degree of generalizing, but I will never shit on an opinion or someone else's likes/dislikes :)

I don't have a favourite director per se, but if I had to pick one, it would probably be Luc Besson (namely his older stuff, pre-the Messenger) and despite using a few of the same actors in multiple films (not even close to Scorsese's use lol), his older stuff is the farthest thing from formulaic

Anyways, I did see the King's Man last night and my wife and I were 2 of 5 people in the entire theatre

A bunch of people saw Spiderman and the Matrix.
