To each his own.

I will guarantee you this, though...

If you gathered a group of the most well-respected movie critics and asked them Fincher or Scorsese, the vote would be unanimous in favor of Scorsese.

That isn't to say Fincher isn't incredibly talented or a really good director. He is. Seven, Fight Club, and Panic Room were all outstanding. But Scorsese is in a league of his own. He has changed the face of American cinema. And I'm sure if you asked Tarantino, Fincher, or pretty much any other director of their ilk working today, they would all tell you that Scorsese is a huge influence on their work.<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->


i don't argue with any of that. fortunately, i am not a man swayed by what everyone else thinks.

I'm glad for you.

I don't like Scorsese because the critics like him, by the way. All I'm saying is that I'm not some sort of retard for thinking Taxi Driver is better than Seven.
