Power Rankings: Quentin Tarantino

Power Rankings is a series where I'll select a director, actor, writer, artist, etc. and rank their 5 best pieces of work. 

Tarantino is a name that has become synonymous with film. His films never fail to excite audiences around the world, and he has become one of the few filmmakers out there whose movies sell out opening weekends while remaining popular and important to the hip, overly critical crowd of internet critics and unrelenting purists. He first hit the scene with his indie hit Reservoir Dogs, followed by his magnum opus Pulp Fiction, a film so iconic and memorable that it still remains relevant 20 years later, it's poster still gracing college dorm rooms around the country. Unsurprisingly, choosing 5 pieces of work to represent Tarantino is a difficult task, so let's take a look at just what makes Tarantino so great.

Power Rankings: Neil Gaiman

Power Rankings is a series where I'll select a director, actor, writer, artist, etc. and rank their 5 best pieces of work. 

It's hard to put a label on the genre or style of Neil Gaiman's work. Whether it be a novel, lengthy comic book series or two-part Batman story, there is always something about it that makes it uniquely Gaiman in structure and content. Growing up in UK as a part of a Scientologist family, Gaiman was part of the "British invasion" of comics which included Grant Morrison and Jamie Delano. In the 90's, Gaiman also took a swing at the world of fiction, where he was a huge success once again. Here we'll take a look at Gaiman's 5 best pieces of work, whether they be comics or books.

Power Rankings: Grant Morrison

Power Rankings is a series where I'll select a director, actor, writer, artist, etc. and rank their 5 best pieces of work. 

Where to even begin when talking about Grant Morrison? The Scottish comic-book guru is known for his psychedelic stories, eccentric behavior, occult dwellings, alleged communication with John Lennon from beyond the grave and ranking as public enemy number one on Alan Moore's list. You either love Morrison or you can't understand why anyone would read anything written by this guy. His stories can often come off as confusing or strange, with odd plots that prove extremely difficult to follow. However, I've always said that the best way to read a Grant Morrison series is to let go of all preconceived notions you have about comic books and just enjoy the ride. Now let's take a look at Morrison's impressive body of work, and which 5 prove to be his best.

Power Rankings: David Fincher

Power Rankings is a series where I'll select a director, actor, writer, artist, etc. and rank their 5 best pieces of work. 

In this first ever edition of Power Rankings, I'll take a look at American film director David Fincher. Beginning in 1985, Fincher started his career directing short documentaries and music videos. In 1992, he was selected to direct the third installment of the Alien series, kickstarting his career as a high-profile film director. However, with the commercial and critical failure of Alien 3, it took Fincher 3 more years before he'd release what is widely considered the first real Fincher film, Se7en.
