Best 3 film run for an actor/director

[The Woolster]

"Thith pugilitht doeth not want to thuck your cock, I want to thuck hithcock"

[Trumo]

Robert Zemeckis directed the Back To The Future trilogy and Who Framed Roger Rabbit? between 1985 and 1990.

[Trumo]

Mentioned John Cazale's 5-film run on the first page. Well, 4 of those were directed by Francis Ford Coppola (The Deer Hunter was by Michael Cimino) on the bounce.

[VERBAL DIARRHEA]

Gregory Peck

 

Guns of Navarone

Cape Fear

How the West was won

To kill a Mockingbird

U wot m8? That one was shite.

I remember seeing an interview with George Clooney from around that time. Without mentioning any names he was saying that he was really happy with  the place his career was at, because he had reached an unspoken agreement whereby he makes the blockbuster films that Hollywood wants him to make, which allows him to then make the films that he wants to make.

 

I reckon Clooney would agree with Trumo.

Tim Burton 

 

Beetlejuice

Batman

Edward Scissorhands

 

Ed Wood

Mars Attacks!

Sleepy Hollow

[Trumo]

Jim Carrey did all these in 1994, and they're all funnier than anything he's done before or since:

 

Ace Ventura: Pet Detective

The Mask

Dumb & Dumber

3 actually, Dog Day was Lumet.

Doug Liman did Swingers, Go and the Bourne Identity back-to-back.  Which is a pretty entertaining run.

Can I vote for a DoP?  Because even if all the films themselves aren't classics, Roger Deakins is the gold standard, consistently.

 

Eric Bana started his film career with, in reverse order: Black Hawk Down, Chopper and the batshit awesome Aussie cult comedy 'The Castle'. 

 

Also had high hopes for John Cusack, with Grosse Pointe Blank and Con Air at one point, then High Fidelity and Being John Malkovich later on.  Always keeps his bread buttered with boilerplate rom-coms though...

Excluding Documentaries look at the films (and directors) Leonardo DiCaprio has been involved with:

 

Catch Me If You Can - Spielberg

Gangs of New York - Scorcese

Aviator - Scorcese

The Departed - Scorcese

Blood Diamond - Zwick

Body of Lies - R Scott

Revolutionary Road - Mendes

Shutter Island - Scorcese

Inception - Nolan

J Edgar - Eastwood

Django - Tarantino

Gatsby - Luhrmann

Wolf of Wall Street - Scorcese

Revenant - Innaritu

 

That's fucking nuts.  Even for a star like him.  A couple of under-par vanity projects in the mix though.

Titanic - James Cameron ????

[Mook]

Has this morphed into an 'shite films' thread?

[Bjornebye]

"an" ? 

[Mook]

I had 'average films' & then I saw some bawheid mention Titanic so had to amend it.

 

Unfortunately I'm the biggest bawheid going and forgot about the 'an'.

One of the biggest grossing films of all time? I agree, it is shite but it can't be left out of a Di Caprio list

More of a comment on the people he's worked with in a row, than those films in particular.  I even said it's a mixed bag. The thread was what led me to look, rather than a direct submission to the thread.

[SasaS]

Leonardo did work with Baz Luhrmann, but there are also a couple of redeeming films on that list, so I'm inclined to forgive him that.

[SammyAftershave]

I think my current favourite Director Alexander Payne is worth mentioning with a couple of hat-tricks:

 

Election

About Schmidt

Sideways

 

The Descendants

Nebraska

Downsizing

 

I feel he captures imperfect 'Human Beings' with all their foibles exceptionally well.
