I think Kurbick quite clearly wins on consistancy, from Strangelove onwards its nothing but great films IMHO were as honestly I don't think Marty has made a great film since the mid 90's although obviously far more of them.
The Leo era is great imo. Kubrick has a smaller catalog so obviously, his rateo is better than Marty's but imo Goodfellas, The Departed and Taxi Driver > Kubrick's trio.

Honestly the best Leo era film for me was the Aviator, I think that was Marty most at home making a bio epic rather than his various atempts at genre films, none of which really worked that well for me.

Yeah I agree. The departed too. Wolf of Wall Street. MS movies are easier to sit down and just watch at any point in the movie. I was just using Goodfellas as one particular example.
No one sits down to kill an hour and watches eyes wide shut or 2001. Those aren’t back ground noise movies you can maybe have on while you’re on the computer or cleaning up.
Very subjective but I go with Marty on this one. His films are all up my ally and brilliant. I think that the Departed may be the best movie of all time!
Agree with everyone giving Stan the edge on range as there is also no comparison there?!?
Scorsese films are fun watches. But they are what they are. Kubrick movies are more than what they are. You can think about them a long time and analyze them for
Take this for example: The Shining is about Jack writing a novel. All the supernatural events and a great portion of the movie are in Jack's Head as he is writing his novel.
Why does Grady have a different name from the job interview to when Jack bumps into the waiter?
Why are the girls different ages at the job interview but are twins when they appear?
It is called fictionalizing.
Why is there a stuff bear right where Halloran gets axed??? Jack saw the bear there and it entered into his book in a different form.
Also, Kurbick would not write the supernatural as something that happens. No fucking way. You could say 2001 gets a bit weird but it is not the supernatural of a ghost story.
the hotel....this was in Jack's head as he was writing his novel.
The freezer door is whether anything supernatural happened or not. I am saying it was in jack's head while making the novel....granted a great portion of the movie is jack writing his novel (in his head).
Also, Jack is reading a playgirl on the couch in the moving in scene. Later on we see the bear suit guy blowing the suit guy.
