I wonder of any Oliver Stone movie since Platoon has been profitable. Amazing that Hollywood would hand this guy so much money to squander. A shame that such an interesting story was so mishandled as well. Who know when it will be attempted again?
JFK made money and (if you can ignore the fact that it is pure fable) is really quite good.

I find it interesting that his US history pics do better overseas. Stone does OK with medium-priced movies that can generate a lot of buzz. There's no way I'd trust him with a $200 million film, though. No way. A blockbuster is $100 million domestic and Platoon is the only one that comes close.
