Thank you for your thoughtful list! I love Stone, here is mine, there are some differences, obviously, but the the most relevant I think is the position of "Salvador". 10 (veneration) Platoon 8 (enthusiasm) JFK, Salvador 7 (engagement) The Doors, Born the 4th of July 6 (firm interest) Wall Street, Talk Radio, Snowden, U-Turn --- 5 (meh) Any Given Sunday, Natural Born Killers, The Hand, Wall Street: Money Never Sleeps 4 (nope) World Trade Center 3 (c'mon) Alexander
For me, the top 2 (also Platoon and JFK) could just as easily be in either order. Even though we're talking about Oliver Stone's feature films, his TV documentary series The Untold History of the United States is about as worth seeing as anything else he has done.
Born on the Fourt of July is my favorite of his, Platoon is close second. Im my opinion, Born on the fourt of July should have won best Picture in 1989 instead Driving miss Daisy.

Watch the final cut of Alexander. Much longer, much better. NBK, JFK and Platoon are his masterpieces. And Wall Street comes close. I've seen all of his movies except for the Hand, Seizure and Heaven and Earth
I’m usually a very grateful audience. Slow cinema, classic films, b movies, epics, art house, musicals you name it. I respect the work, and I don’t mind being out of my comfort zone and I love long films. I’m in for the experience. Stone is the only director who bored me every single time. Platoon being the least boring I think. That’s before I began to dislike him for his political statements.
@@ChadSabourin One suggestion ... Don't watch trailer or internet search. It will spoil the movie a little bit. Go blind. Movie is self explanatory. Watch it till the very end, till credit scenes. THANK ME LATER.
NBK deserves to be much higher in any list of Stone films. You’re too young to remember what an outsized cultural impact that film had. I can’t imagine what it must be like to see it shorn of that context.
@@polyestermammoth740 Even though I wasn’t there when it came out, I still read the historical context of what was going on when it came out & the ripple effect the film had. I can see why others would like it. For me, felt mixed about it. Maybe I’ll revisit it down the line. We’ll see🤷♂️.
@@ThePeterWilliam Yeah, I think not watching something simply because of disagreeing with the directors personal views/decisions/morals/etc is quite unfortunate. Especially since hundreds, if not thousands of people work on a film.
Good stuff, bro!

@@jimmywormwood9687 I still need to watch that documentary series! Will have to check it out based on your recommendation.
Untold History, if (like anything else) you take account of its biases, is quite brilliant.
@ Definitely going to try & watch it!
Born on the Fourt of July is my favorite of his, Platoon is close second.

@@AlexGlinkin That’s a very, very fair opinion! Anything bud Driving Miss Daisy should have won😂

Very fair ranking! I can’t wait to hear your thoughts on Talk Radio. It’s under appreciated. Sooooo good.
@ChadSabourin just letterboxd it. Unfortunately only a 2.5 for me. It was a bit all over the place.
@@dfcintron 😱😢
Hey, I get it! Honestly, I liked how all over the place it was. Matches the lead characters chaotic mind set.
Wow, I thought Oliver Stone directed "Midnight Express" but he was only the writer.
@@DM-hf9nh Yes! He also wrote Scarface.
@@ChadSabourin + Conan The Barbarian
Hiii.. When can we expect sardar udham ....???
@@sameerk644 Not sure!
@ChadSabourin hmm i m sure u r really busy... Anyway.. Good luck

@@colewilliams9432 If I decide to rewatch Alexander, will definitely seek out the Final Cut!

@@romeohadjuliette Oh, that’s a shame that you don’t like his films. I get it!
Bro watch Sardar Udham film.
Youll be blown away in a weird way.
@@Boldtruths It’s on the watchlist!

Only seen 8 of his films but Platoon is easily my favourite and Savages by far the worst.
@@Snoozoid I can respect that! Platoon is soooo good. Not a fan of Savages either!
Thanks for sharing, I hate whar Stone is up to with Trump lately and I am going to find it hard separating the films from the man going forward
@@donall That’s fair! For myself, I can do that fairly easy. But I get it if others can’t.
Good guy. Resisting the neocons.
