fleung22 1 Posted March 24, 2006 Share Posted March 24, 2006 So I'm a big fan of the movies and today is the opening day for Spike Lee's new heist flick,"Inside Man", and stars Denzel Washington.I'm a big fan of this director/actor tag-team from their previous movies which include Mo' Better Blues, Malcolm X, and He Got Game.There's another popular tag-team in Hollywood in Marin Scorsese and Robert Deniro.They've done Goodfellas, Taxi Driver, Raging Bull, Cape Fear and Casino together.Which tag-team has made the best movies?Goodfellas may just be my favourite all-time movie so I'll with the Scorsese-Deniro combo but some might find Malcolm X to be a more "important" movie to society.My bet is on Scorscese-Deniro to win the poll since there's gambling in many of those movies and this is a poker forum.Have a great weekend all!

superchuck 0 Posted March 24, 2006 Share Posted March 24, 2006 my first pick would have to be scorsese, but i would have to throw wes anderson and bill murray into the mix because their sense of humor is right up my ally. Link to post Share on other sites

Mercury69 3 Posted March 24, 2006 Share Posted March 24, 2006 Scorcese-DeNiro No disrespect, but Spike and Denzel are sadly overrated...Allow me to quote Denzel from the trailer for Inside Man: "DOES NOT ADD UP!" Link to post Share on other sites

chester97 0 Posted March 24, 2006 Share Posted March 24, 2006 Denzel is not overrated, but Spike strikes me as such.lee does a meaningful movie once every few years, but has alot of crap filled in between. tell me one movie that scorcese has wasted. none. lee's list is one where you have to go through and pick out the good ones. scorcese's list is just epic. not even close.

Petoria 0 Posted March 24, 2006 Share Posted March 24, 2006 Spike Lee is way overrated.Denzel is slightly overrated, there's no way he deserved the Oscar for "Training Day". That was the year Russell Crowe was nominated for "A Beautiful Mind", which was far superior acting compared to Denzel in "Training Day".I'll give Denzel credit for "Glory" bc he was awesome in that, but DeNiro is still a league above.Spike Lee is like 20,000 Leagues under the Scorcese.

Kevin Smith and Jason Lee AINEC (slight sw).WOW. everyone guess how old Allison Hannigan is.

Turbo Dog 1 Posted March 25, 2006 Share Posted March 25, 2006 Scorsese and Deniro by a lot. Bonus points for Mean Streets (great movie) and The King of ComedyDenzel Washington is good, but not a huge fan of Spike Lee. Although i did like Do the Right Thing and the Mars Blackman Nike commercials Link to post Share on other sites
