[Joel Was Right]

I just watched Jason Bourne tonight. I remember hearing about some criticism for its lack of action but I can only chuckle at that suggestion now. What a great ride! And that ending too was pure class.

But it's not new with this director. Their previous film (Green Zone) was a great watch too. Somehow, they're able to produce incredibly engaging stories shot in a way that makes close combat and chase sequences seem fresh and new.

Is there a better combination than these two working in a film together?

 

[strafer]

Sure are. I hope they do something new together. I want Paul Greengrass handheld action.

 

[iMax]

Tarantino and Jackson

 

[riotous]

Scorsese and DiCaprio

God damn, that's a good one.

 

[Hexxen-Panda]

Toshiro Mifune and Akira Kurosawa
DeNiro and Scorsese

 

[SpaceWolf]

Judging by the film Jason Bourne, absolutely.

Alfonso Cuarón and Emmanuel Lubezki (suck it Iñárritu)

[StanleyPalmtree]

Edgar Wright and Simon Pegg?

 

[Joel Was Right]

Judging by the film Jason Bourne, absolutely.

I think you're confusing it with Spectre.

 

[SpaceWolf]

I think you're confusing it with Spectre.

Matt Damon and Paul Greengrass didn't work on Spectre.

 

[Goldenroad]

John Hughes and John Candy...and you bring it up on this day of all days. Must be fate.

C'mon...
Why do people just come into these kinds of threads and post pictures with no info?

 

[Jason's Ultimatum]

Coming from a huge Bourne fan the plot had potential, but in general you can tell Tony Gilroys cohesive script was missing. The whole side plot was pointless too.

 

[Moppeh]

Toshiro Mifune and Akira Kurosawa
DeNiro and Scorsese

Yep.

Also,
Philip Seymour Hoffman and PTA
Klaus Kinski and Herzog
Anna Karina and Jean Luc Godard
Bill Murray and Wes Anderson

 

[BlueWord]

Toshiro Mifune and Akira Kurosawa
DeNiro and Scorsese

The first two that came to mind.

Beyond that, maybe Samuel L. Jackson and Quentin Tarantino?

I also like the recurring Bill Murray roles in Wes Anderson's movies, but I don't think it's actually produced consistently groundbreaking or spectacular work, The Life Aquatic notwithstanding.

 

[RobotHaus]

Lemonade and iced tea is pretty good.

 

[JustHadToJoin]

C'mon...

DiCaprio and Scorcese?

Also: Tom Cruise and any competent action director. Which reminds me, I should do a rewatch of Edge of Tomorrow.

 

[Sojgat]

Keoni Waxman and Steven Seagal.

 

[SCULLIBUNDO]

OP is joking, right?

I mean, as far as actor/director combos go.

Like, you've got the obvious ones like Spielberg and Hanks, Cameron and Schwarzenegger, Scorsese and De Niro.

Then you've got combos like Godard and Anna Karina, Boyle and McGregor, Wes Anderson and Owen Wilson, PTA and PSH.

Damon and Greengrass aren't even a blip on that radar.

There is no better combo than Mifune and Kurosawa. There just isn't.

Ok, Kurt Russell and John Catpenter is pretty good too tho.

setsuko hara and yasujiro ozu. best combination in all of filmmaking...;_;

 

[MattKeil]

Just about anything. The Greengrass Bourne films vary from unwatchable garbage to almost okay. I have no idea what anyone sees in this series.

 

[ryutaro's mama]

Cameron and Schwarzenegger

Took way too long for this only correct answer to get posted.
