Not really a director I'd rate.

Passing on this one :)

1. The Hunger (1) vs Top Gun (0)
2. Beverly Hills Cop II (2) vs Revenge (1)
3. Days of Thunder (0) vs The Last Boy Scout (2) - Neither are very good IMO. Neither I guess.
4. True Romance (4) vs Crimson Tide (0)

True Romance of this lot is his best, then Beverly Hills Cop 2.

I've just remembered I've seen Deja Vu. If it still counts, add a mark for that one.

This surely proves to everyone that I'm not manipulating the game to ensure my winners win.

Another of my picks is going out before the final.

Re. True Romance. I used to love this film as a teenager (I wore a t-shirt from it to gym class) but as an adult found it strikingly immature and immoral. I guess tastes can really change sometimes.

1. Beverly Hills Cop II vs True Romance (just) - That's such a hard one. I love the first two BHC movies, they're some of my fave 80s movies.
2. Enemy of the State vs Unstoppable - Although Enemy of the State is rather formulaic.
