Scott gets my vote. Gladiator was the best performance I've seen a director get out of Russell Crowe, and he's one of my favorite actors so that's saying something.
Finished The Dark Tower at 6:03AM on December 21, 2009.
The man in black fled across the desert,
and the gunslinger followed.
The fight scenes in Gladiator are some of the best choreographed sequences I have ever seen. Kudos to Scott and his team for that.
Still ... the power of Kubrick's work is undeniable. They've left a more profound impression on me that anything Scott has ever done, although I will say that I consider Blade Runner to be a true cinematic gem and a masterpiece in every sense of the word.
Scott's a very talented director visually, but I generally feel that I'm farther removed emotionally than he would like me to be. Kubrick on the other hand, keeps me exactly where he wants me. So, I voted for Kubrick, who's technically maybe the most skilled director there is.
Big town's got its losers, small town's got its vices...
Have you guys seen Kubrick's The Killing?
It's a real good heist film.

SS, it's funny, I keep using Gladiator as a reason I shouldn't be voting for Ridley Scott.
Still haven't decided this one, but am leaning towards Kubrick.

Pam, you are thinking too much about this. You know you want to click the Kubrick button.
Yeah ... I got Thelma on one side holding my arm, and Louise on the other ... that's what's holding me back!!

I'm exactly the same, pam! It's not that I found it terrible, it's just so...generic. Man loses family, man becomes slave, slave becomes practically worshipped as a fighter, fighter seeks vengeance. It's the kind of plot I've seen a thousand times before, or at least has made me think I've seen it a thousand times before, and much better, too. However, Blade Runner? Alien? These are films I absolutely love, and yet as much as I loved Full Metal Jacket, I really didn't like A Clockwork Orange. But i don't think i've seen enough of Kubrick's work to make a judgement on this poll, really, and to be even more fair I haven't seen much of Scott's work over the past decade, either.
