Francis Ford Coppola made these four movies in just eight years

Stress. Expectations perhaps? All his creativity channeled into four timeless classics.

he burned himself out from drugs

Based. Conversation is the utmost of kino.

Good morning sir

Drugs, and burning himself out. Putting too much time into making kino can tear the soul apart user. Just look at Peter Jackson.

Denis Villeneuve made these six movies in just eight years.

Arrival is so goddamn boring.
I prefer THE Arrival with charlie sheen.

John Cazale died.

I was surprised how well that holds up, despite basically being a high budget episode of the 90's Outer Limits.

Sicaro is the definition of overrated.

And maybe one of those might be a classic?

Apocalypse Now is such a fucking kino

I wonder what how different films would be if he were still alive. Like, were there roles he would've taken and done better than others did?

All of them already are.

what about making just one, but actually good?

I think he'd have probably gone behind the camera, assuming he stayed in the industry at all. Maybe acting at a DDL pace. Come to think of it, they probably would've done something together.

>Francis Ford Coppola made The Godfather Part II and The Conversation in same year
THAT'S MORE FUCKING IMPRESSIVE TO POINT OUT YOU FUCKING RETARD

yes, Incendies is

He also wrote the script to Patton two years before The Godfather.

and then he fucked off into obscurity. sad how none of the "new hollywood" guys survived except spielberg

it's a good thriller film by its genre's standards, I don't see why you think it's overrated
he does have an impressive catalog for a 2010s director, BR2049 & Incendies are easily his best works though

His daughter is a better filmmaker

Spielberg and Scorsese.

>this was made by the same guy who made The Godfather, The Godfather Part II, and Apocalypse Now

Scorsese is still thriving?
Also Lucas survived to give us the kino that is the prequels

DePalma made it until 1998

Rumble fish is absolute kino

>that heart attack scene
this movie was kino as a kid

never seen a more dishonest collection of movies in my life

>dishonest collection of movies
what the fuck does that even mean

he had a couple of three things going for him: real food, the good coke, a system that rewarded dedication, cheap cigarettes, real booze, a world without fake tits and tanning beds.. i can go on for hours. it's a disgrace he didn't make eight or ten movies in that period

yeah, what I most admire about Coppola is how versatile he is

None of these are masterpieces. The only good one was Incendies anyway. His films went to absolute shit when he switched to English.

>midwitt, the director

It’s kino

None of those compare to Coppola’s masterpieces, but he Verhoeven had a great run up to Starship Troopers (excepting Showgirls which is not as terrible as it’s reputation, but still not good).

There’s like two or three good movies there, and not a single great one. Coppola’s 70s streak mogs him to oblivion.

Friedkin made French Connection, Exorcist and Sorcerer also in the span of 6 or 7 years, another god tier director from the 70s.

I keep seeing people throw that around on here... this board has turned to such garbage. Is reddit this bad?

Robocop Total Recall and ST are sci-fi action masterpieces

The Coens released Miller's Crossing, Barton Fink, the Hudsucker Proxy, Fargo, and the Big Lebowski from 1990 to 1998.

What's even crazier is from 2007-2010 they released a movie every year (No Country for Old Men, Burn After Reading, A Serious Man, and True Grit).

>Nolan
waiting for Judas Priest to arrive on stage so won't list the movies but:
Robert Altman 1970-78 is just ludicrous
Bergman in the sixties produced a greater body of work than most could in 50 years
Peter Greenaway in the 80s
Roeg in the 70s arguably rivals Coppola (esp if you're not in love with the Godfather films as much as the other two) although he's certainly more offbeat.
Pick any 8 year chunk of Ford's filmography

The Conversation is a poor film and some of the most dishonest film making I've ever seen.

Definition of no fucking soul

steven seagal made all this in eight years:

Born to Raise Hell
Maximum Conviction
Force of Execution
A Good Man
Prequel to Force of Execution.
Gutshot Straight
Absolution
Code of Honor
Sniper: Special Ops
The Asian Connection
End of a Gun
Contract to Kill
The Perfect Weapon
Cartels
China Salesman
Attrition
General Commander
Beyond the Law

All 4 are masterpieces but Apocalypse Now takes the crown for me. A movie that could never have been made except in that tiny window of time.

Mm, yes, shallow and pedantic

FILTERED

Yeah, it's hard to imagine anyone in modern Hollywood making a big budget movie by actually going to a third-world country and using real helicopters. Filming in the Philippines was pretty much as close to filming on location in Vietnam as Coppola realistically could have done. Nowadays it's just like hey, let's film everything in front of some green screens in LA and put in CGI later. But you can tell when watching it. CGI just isn't that good yet.

And that's somehow impressive?
