THE BEST AND WORST FILMS OF BRIAN DE PALMA

In honor of the film and one of my favorite directors Brian DePalma I decided to list his films all of the ones I have seen in order of least favorite to favorite. As even in his so called bad films there are sequences, shots or just something about them that make them worth watching if only even for that glimpse of greatness of what could have been.
