I'm tempted to vote Malick just to enrage this troll so he can't say in another thread:
When in reality they are both different and equally brilliant... I enjoy both.

Coppola - The first two of The Godfather films and Apocalypse Now are masterpieces. Throw in The Conversation and you have four A+ legendary and iconic best of all time films in one decade. He could make 1,000 Jacks and that wouldn't change a thing.

I haven't seen enough Malick to reply. However, IMO Coppola is the greatest, having had five movies I consider perfect (his 70's run and Tetro), and two that came very close: Dracula (Reeves' accent sucked) and Godfather Coda (I don't really feel like the romance between Vince and Mary was fully developed).

While I didn't think Jack was horrible, I admit its strengths didn't overcome most of its flaws. 6/10. But if you want horrible Coppola, check out his early movie Tonight for Sure.
