Oliver Stone’s films have always resonated with me. He’s the one filmmaker that has proven he can stand the test of time, and truly reflect our social commentary and movement with each film he makes. He’s so remarkable, with each new film, he shows us how we’re feeling, shows us what our society has become. He’s a very pessimistic filmmaker (although he may disagree with me). Stone is responsible for some of the most unique films to come from American cinema.
1. “Wall Street” – 1987
2. “Talk Radio” – 1988
3. “Platoon” – 1986
4. “Natural Born Killers” – 1994
5. “Nixon” – 1995
6. “U-Turn” – 1997
7. “JFK” – 1991
8. “Salvador” – 1986
9. “The Doors” – 1991
10. “Born of the Fourth of July” – 1989
Just missed the cut: “Heaven & Earth”

I loved Wall Street! Surprising that it is your #1, so many people think it is overrated.
I think “Wall Street” is Stone’s masterpiece and I am working on a review for it right now. I’m a skeptically excited for the sequel which is the only Stone film to be accepted to Cannes (weird), and it’s gotten extremely favorable reviews. Midnight showing? haha
