Oliver Stone
Alexander (2004)
Alexander
is unavoidably a problematic epic, but it has integrity and deserves an audience willing to engage in Stone's dialogue.
World Trade Center (2006)
Despite what you may have heard,
World Trade Center
isn't entirely apolitical, just understated in its commentary.
Natural Born Killers (1994)
Profane, hallucinogenic, and wickedly satirical, Oliver Stone's
Natural Born Killers
mainlined a message from hell (a.k.a. modern America, as seen by Stone) into mall theatres and multiplexes.
JFK (1991)
Nixon (1995)
A convincing blend of Shakespearean tragedy and
Citizen Kane
,
Nixon
paints the thirty-seventh President of the United States as a uniquely American tragic hero...
W. (2008)
Equal parts comedy (inevitably only-in-America satire) and Oedipal psycho-drama...[from] the bard of American political cinema.
Any Given Sunday (1999)
Stone isn't interested in merely bashing modern football:
Any Given Sunday
looks at the best and worst of the sport.
Wall Street: Money Never Sleeps (2010)
Though the carpe diem theme comes as something of a surprise,
Wall Street: Money Never Sleeps
makes its political points, with 'moral hazard'—the dark side of second chances—the film’s punny refrain.
Platoon (1986)
Remains an intriguing blend of the political and the personal, with Stone turning his memories and his opinions about Vietnam into potent drama.
Savages (2012)
Oliver Stone, bless ’im, still believes in red-meat cinema.
Snowden (2016)
Born on the Fourth of July
for millennials...Stone effectively streamlines Snowden’s story for mass consumption, edification, and identification.
