For every great Ridley Scott film, 2 crap ones follow. JPJ loses points over Alien:Ressurection (although a lot of blame should be laid at the producers door). Boogie Nights and There Will Be blood are both stellar for PT Anderson but Magnolia was a little cluttered for my tastes (Robert Altman's Short Cuts is a much better similarly themed film) and Punch Drunk Love was an admirable failure. I would have loved to put Lucio fulci into my list but his mid 80's output was terrible!
