In this week's round, we compare the recent work of two populist directors who have done some excellent work over the years. Ridley Scott has been nominated for three directing Oscars. Ron Howard has been nominated twice and won once (he won a second for producing). Here's how there best three films of the past decade were rated by metacritic:
Round Seven:
Ridley Scott
American Gangster (2007) - 76
Black Hawk Down (2001) - 74
Gladiator (2000) - 64
Average: 71
Ron Howard
Frost/Nixon (2008) - 80
A Beautiful Mind (2001) - 72
Cinderella Man (2005) - 69
Average: 74
Ron Howard wins this round. And by the way, I thought Cinderella Man was way underrated. It was one of the better movies of the past five years and, for some reason, it was highly undervalued. If you haven't seen it, you should check it out.
