A Francis Ford Coppola Ranking
On cinema’s most underrated renegade.
Having now seen all of the films from Francis Ford Coppola that were at least somewhat appealing (Hell, I watched Jack, so I think I’ve earned a free pass on films like Finian’s Rainbow!), I figured that it was time that I gave his films a ranking and took a brief look back at each one. We’ll be going backwards, starting with the weakest, and from there it’ll all be upwards! Here are most of the films from one of America’s finest directors of all time put together in a personal order based on favouritism! I won’t be including New York Stories, as it’s more of a short film as opposed to a feature, but I will say that Coppola’s part of it is really quite bad. Scorsese certainly holds the project together. I also won’t be including The Godfather Epic, which is a supercut of the first two Godfather films into a single work, but I will say that that one is certainly worth seeing. This may serve as something of a blueprint to a larger Coppola retrospective somewhere down the line, too. He’s one of the all time greats, and a real renegade of the form.
18. Jack (1996)
