    I'd probably rank:

    1 - Blow Out
    2 - Carrie
    3 - Scarface
    4 - Dressed to Kill
    5 - Phantom of the Paradise

    Forgot about that one. Haven't seen it in almost 20 years.

    I have to give that another watch. I think Apocalypse Now and Platoon overshadowed it for me.

    Dude, when was the last time that you watched Blow Out?

    I didn't see it until about 2 years ago. It's a good midnight movie.

    De Palma has a terrible batting percentage. He has been absolutely lost for about 12 years or so (longer if you count the abysmal Mission to Mars).

    This explains the difficulty in compiling even 5 worthy films. Dude is overrated.

    IDK, is anyone but us talking about the dude in 2014? Overrated in '94, absolutely. 2014, not so sure.

    If anything I think his really good movies are under appreciated at this point.

    Except Scarface obviously. Rap culture almost destroyed that movie.
