I think that you may be confusing Joel with Paul Verhoeven.You didn't mention that cult favorite 'Showgirls'.
Oh, you're right!! Sorry!!I think that you may be confusing Joel with Paul Verhoeven.
Well, that makes me like Joel even more!I think that you may be confusing Joel with Paul Verhoeven.
Very stylish and versatile filmmaker. My favourite film would be 'Phantom of the Opera', a very lavish version of the story.
Of course, he also did some of the best Grisham films. I also like Flatliners, but I can't help feel that the premise was more interesting than the way it was played out - but still, it was visually a nice looking film.
Lost Boys was also a fun film. Overall, I think he made many films that were just fun and nice to look at. I never disliked Batman and Robin that much - especially Uma Thurman is quite fun it, but you must not dislike camp to enjoy it. Audiences now want a gritty Batman, but probably it could have done better if it was released in some other, earlier era.
