Your favorite Paul Verhoeven movie?

There's a lot of good ones, but Total Recall will always be my favorite. Robocop is okay, but it's never been my favorite. I also really like Starship Troopers. How 'bout you?

Are those ranked in order? I haven't seen Elle, but now I must.

[–] [deleted] 6 years ago

Yes, they are in order. Elle is fantastic and a must see.

I love Isabelle Huppert. Adding that to the list.

It's Verhoeven doing his best Haneke, but it's well done, so you get a good movie.

[–] PeteRose (2893) 6 years ago

I love Haneke, I'm sold.

Elle was terrible. The relationship with the rapist was unrealistic and all the men in the movie were just terrible people.

[–] [deleted] 6 years ago

I thought it was fantastic.

Whiny terrible men and all the woman were bitches. The French can't be that bad. Also get an alarm system.

His name isn't familiar to me. Judging by the posts in this thread, I haven't seen him in anything.

Director, not actor.
