Shallow Grave is my favourite of the Boyle films, and besides the relative wobbles of A Life Less Ordinary and The Beach he hasn't made a bad movie. Looking forward to seeing 127 Hours.

Millions is awesome. It's got the best high octane heist sequence in a kids film I've ever seen!

Terrance Malick never disappoints.

I'm surprised at all the not Tim Burton votes. He's directed more good movies than bad ones. Here's how I'd divide them:

GOOD:
Pee-wee's Big Adventure
Beetle Juice
Batman
Edward Scissorhands
Batman Returns
Ed Wood
Sleepy Hollow
Big Fish
Charlie and the Chocolate Factory
Corpse Bride
Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street

NOT SO GOOD:
Mars Attacks! (a guess since it's the only Burton film I haven't seen)
Planet of the Apes
Alice in Wonderland

And even Planet of The Apes, I'd say was okay and not terrible.

I agree. but he doesnt ask for 50billion dollars and the keys to the city an 50% of a movies take like a lot of others seem to. No matter how good a director is they are only one part of a whole.
