BAD MOVIES FROM GOOD DIRECTORS

Saw that one at the theater, man that was bad.

Yeah agree with Frankenheimer having done some brilliant (The Manchurian Candidate) and almost equally awful work (Island of Dr. Moreau 96)

Terry Gilliam, who directed Brazil, Time Bandits and The Adventures of Baron Munchausen also directed The Brothers Grimm which was pretty awful. Although I think studio interference played a role in that.

George Pal - Atlantis, the Lost Continent

Richard Fleischer (Tora! Tora! Tora!, Fantastic Voyage, The Vikings, 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea, Soylent Green, The Boston Strangler: The New Centurions, Amityville 3-D, Conan the Destroyer, Red Sonja

When it comes to John Carpenter, I never think of him as anything but a B-movie director, albeit one who was more competent in his early days. In fact, HALLOWEEN is the only film of his I consider an outright classic.
