Stanley Kubrick vs. Martin Scorsese

[RicochetShaw]

EDIT: I now consider them both to be at my top spot for favorite director, it's a tie for me.

It is pretty hard but not too hard..

Kubrick

[STARKE]

Goodfellas is one of the greatest mob movies ever.


Kubrick still wins though.

[The Professional]

Kubrick is a horrible director and i'm glad he's dead so he can't turn out any more shit.

[QUENTIN]

Martin Scorsese, Kubrick was brilliant, one of the five best directors ever, but Scorsese is the greatest man to ever walk the planet, a fucking God.

[Ender]

Kubrick had much better versatility. Scorsese is very impressive (I, for one, really liked Bringing Out The Dead), but since Stanley Kubrick will undoubtedly be judging all of our souls when we die, my vote must go to him.

[Josh69Mn@aol.com]

In a fight(if Stan was still alive),Scorcese.

But since Kubrick will be judging us,and I for one don't wanna be thrown in to a LAKE OF FIRE!!!I'll go with Kubrick because of CLOCKWORK ORANGE.

I loved that movie.

[Cyclonus]

I'd have to go with Kubrick, if only because I haven't seen enough of Scorcese's work to make a fair judgment. /ubb/redface.gif

[freesafetyblitz]

in a fight, Scorses would win in a bloody and mess

[RicochetShaw]

So Professional, I take it you don't like Kubrick?

[Hungry Coroner]

Kubrick

[Kurtz1979]

I don't think Scorsese has directed a movie as "A Clockwork Orange" or "2001 A Space ODyssey",does he?
And Proffesional you are a blasphemer

[Puck Bond]

My 2 favorite directors!!...but Kubrick is at the top of my list

[RicochetShaw]

Some of you are taking Kubrick a little too seriously.

[RicochetShaw]

edit: lol

[Hannibal21]

Love them both meself. Scorsese is my second favorite director, Kubrick is my third favorite director.

Scorsese it is!

[Sugar Magnolia]

I gotta agree with QUENTIN, Kubrick is one of the best, but Scorsese is THE best ever...

[Razorblade Smile]

I've enjoyed Scorsese movies with more consistency than I have Kubrick movies. I think Scorsese is better at getting to the heart of characters and getting down deep under their fingernails. Kubrick is more thematic and suggestive. In a fight, Marty would hand Kubrick his ass; no doubt about it. Stan might have a weight advantage over Marty, but we all know he's an artistic recluse and as such he will be fighting a one man battle. Marty however will have DeNiro and Pesci and Liotta backing him up ready to lay the smack down.

[Antonio]

Finally, my man RicShaw is the one who comes up with a quality "VS" topic!

I'll go with Kubrick on this one, but only slightly.

Kubrick's Great Films:
A Clockwork Orange
Eyes Wide Shut
2001

Scorcese's Great Films:
Taxi Driver
Raging Bull
After Hours
The Last Temptation of Christ
The King of Comedy

Scorcese will be my pick.

Scorsese is great, but Kubrick is better.

I agree...They are sort of tied for my 4th favorite director. Kurosawa, Hitchcock, and Fellini are the top 3.

[El Bracamonti]

very hard choice, but i say kubrick

[randythetool]

now THIS is a challenging topic.

i'd say Kubrick is a superior director, but his perfectionist nature gets in the way of his creative process, and few of his films are as good as the best of Scorsese.

I'll take Scorsese, even though Dr. Strangelove is higher on my top 10 than GoodFellas and Taxi Driver.

[Grim H.]

That's a close one, but I'm going with Kubrick...

[DaveyJoeG]

I'm going with Martin Scorsese, my personal favorite. I like his style better although I do love Kubrick.

[Tom Samborski]

Scorcese, I think Kubrick is very overrated.

[Nate6]

This is cool because Scorsese is actually my No. 1 director, while Kubrick is No. 2. So, obviously I choose Scorsese but it's close.

MARTIN SCORSESE

[Lil' Lebowski]

I think Kubrick established himself in a different time period when studios where a lot less artistically negotiable; so some props need to be handed out where that's concerned. That, and every Kubrick movie stands out to me...... Not that Martin's don't; and I guess that's what's makes it so hard to pick one. But, I think Stanley's fingerprint imprints a little deeper than Scorsese's at this point.
