Greetings is my favourite De Palma movie. Very few people understand that movie. The people that don't understand it are the ones who bash it. - @Thursday, August 3, 2017 7:30 AM

The last shot in this movie has Depalma standing in front of a girl's dead body. What is that from? If I had to guess it'd be Casualties of War, but the set is wrong. It's an unnerving and somewhat unqualified final image for me. Anybody? - @Saturday, January 7, 2017 12:32 AM

holy mackarel... i wish they stuck around longer on his stories about each movie. they glossed over a few that deserved more attention...like dressed to kill. one of my favorite flicks of his. not to mention the story about him braking into his father's practice with a knife. - @Saturday, September 3, 2016 10:30 PM

Is he going to address the fact that what he's been churning out in the last 15 years or pretty much everything after Mission Impossible have been garbage. Passion, Redacted, Black Dahlia, Femme Fatale(holy shit this one absolutely horrible!), Mission to Mars (really Palma!). - @Saturday, June 4, 2016 9:52 AM
