a good movie for once in his life.

LOL

The Doors, Any Given Sunday, The People vs. Larry Flynt, Nixon, JFK, and Born on the Fourth of July were all good movies.

Stone, if anything, is a total genius when it comes to making an entertaining movie.

Someday, even conservatives will admit it.

Stone is a business man with a POV he expresses with the use of film. Even HE see's there has been a change of the paradigm in the country and, as a businessman, will make money by tapping into it.

Someday even 'moderates' and leftists will see and admit it.

"Someday, even conservatives will admit it."

OK, you broke me down, I'll admit I'm a conservative who likes some of his films. Stone is a talented director, but also a delusional nutcase whose films try to rewrite history. "JFK" was a ridiculous work of fiction. "Nixon" had scenes of private conversations between Pat and Richard Nixon with totally fabricated dialogue. Still, both films were well paced and entertaining.

Whenever Stone gets away from his 'message film' obsession you can expect a very good movie, which seems to be the case with "World Trade Center."

All were pandering, worthless drivel imo. "Any Given Sunday"? You've GOT to be kidding. Twenty year old Carmen what's her name running a football team was laughable. And Al Pacino seems as if he's never picked up a football in his life. All really worthless movies.

Any Given Sunday

One of the most boring movies I have ever watched.

The People vs. Larry Flynt

Um... Actually, this one was directed by Milos Forman.

But you left out two of Stone's best: "Platoon" and "Wall Street."

Any Given Sunday was unwatchable.

But I shall confess to the congregation that I did like Natural Born Killers.
