Francis Ford Coppola
FILMOGRAPHY (ONLY REVIEWED ENTRIES)
Francis Ford Coppola came to prominence as one of the "New Hollywood" filmmakers during the early 1970s after having directed several semi-lewd comedies during the 1960s before breaking through with the musical Finian's Rainbow in 1968. He then co-wrote the script for Patton, which was a great success and garnered him his first Academy Award for Best Original Screenplay. Over the course of the 1970s, Coppola's output was enormously successful, writing and directing critical and commercial hits such as The Godfather (1972), The Conversation (1974), The Godfather Part II (1974) and Apocalypse Now (1979). At the 47th Academy Awards in 1975, was nominated for five and won three Oscars. He was now widely acknowledged as one of the world's best filmmakers. 1980s was in many ways Coppola's most interesting period, constantly surprising with his choices of films, which usually divided the critics: The Outsiders, Rumble Fish, The Cotton Club, Peggy Sue Got Married and Tucker: The Man and His Dream. After starting the 1990s with two hailed epics, The Godfather Part III and Bram Stoker's Dracula, his work after the mid-1990s has been largely met with poor reviews and box office.
