This guy Paul Verhoeven is seriously underrated

[Koba St]

Robocop
Total recall
Basic instict
Starship troopers

I grew up on his movies which meant a lot to men but he seems like he doesn’t get the attention of other directors. I mean he did the flop movie showgirls but his record is amazing

Elle was good too

His films before Hollywood are must see too.

Showgirls disagrees with you lol

Total recall still holds up today

Just watched it the other day

 

[SCJoe]

Flesh and Blood supposedly influenced Miyazaki when he was writing Dark Souls/Demon Souls. Pretty sure Berserk got a lot from that movie too.

Showgirls disagrees with you lol

Showgirls is better than every film Snyder directed.

The DC of Robocop is even more violent, if you can imagine that. It was one of my favorite movies as a kid. My parents should not have let me watch that lol. I didn’t get the dark humor and satire as a kid.

Dude dropped some classics, very unique director too

 

[Saysumthinfunnymike]

Dudes are weirdos mentioning Snyder in every thread the fukk Snyder got to do with anything lol

On Topic: Verhoeven has some classics for real. 'Robocop' and 'Total Recall' are elite Sci-Fi/Action movies and nobody was doing satire better than him, there's a lot of shyt in his movies that would eventually come to be...

Also, 'Showgirls' is not that bad. For real.
