Member ShaOW!linDude Posted January 19, 2013 Member Share Posted January 19, 2013 My vote is for Joel Silver. I like a lot of Bruckheimer's films but I rarely rewatch them. The ones you've listed under JS I find to be more in line with my preference for entertainment and I'm more prone to dig one of those out and watch it again.

Member teako170 Posted January 20, 2013 Member Share Posted January 20, 2013 Have to give the edge to Joel. Many great 80's classics. Jerry has had some excellent big-budget popcorn flix that have been fun to watch. BevCop and TopG are still 80's gold. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member blue_skies Posted January 20, 2013 Member Share Posted January 20, 2013 both have had their good movies and bad movies, so it's really quite hard to choose with various favourites in both camps. The one thing I will say is that neither have made any great action movies in recent times, in my honest opinion anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member TibetanWhiteCrane Posted January 20, 2013 Member Share Posted January 20, 2013 I would be careful with giving producers that much credit for the final outcome of a film, as the role of producer is extremely loose and hard to define. The actual efforts of a producer can range from finding and championing the project, finding the finances, finding the on and off screen talent etc. to getting an empty courtesy credit without spending as much as an hours work towards the finished film. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heard that! Some movies have so many individual producer credits at the beginning that they rival the end credits of the film. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member Kwok Choi Posted January 27, 2013 Member Share Posted January 27, 2013 Good thread. For me they are two sides of the same coin.I think they should actually merge and form a parent production company yet still make individual films for longevity of the type of stuff they do. Let us also not forget that Roland Emmerich guy though he is my least favourite of the three. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the December 1993 issue of Empire magazine, Wesley Snipes referred to Joel Silver as a "very hands-on" producer during the making of Demolition Man. It was because of Joel that we got to have the full-on military assault with the guerrillas in Predator. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
