I'm going to pass this round, thanks. Basic Instinct is the only Verhoeven film I properly like. Total Recall is pretty good but no keeper. You shouldn't stereotype but it's no surprise the man's Dutch.

Fair enough. This game shouldn't take long given Verhoeven's less than prolific output.

Wtf! 'GIVE DEES PEEPUL AYER!' 'WHAT THE FUCK DID I DO WRONGGGG??' 'CONSIDER DAT A DIVORCE!' etc.

I think they all suck, and Verhoeven is a piss-poor director who's fame is build on cheap shock-effects with violence and sex.

The reason Robocop, Total Recall and Basic Instinct are/were popular, had fuck all to do with his directing, and everything to do with script/screenplay and the aforementioned shockvalue.
