From 'The Conversation' to 'The Godfather' to 'Apocalypse Now,' this is Collider's ranking of every movie directed by Francis Ford Coppola.
Few filmmakers working today have been in the directing business as long as the legendary Francis Ford Coppola has. His directorial debut was in 1963, and he's currently in the midst of making his lifelong passion project, Megalopolis, which finished filming in early 2023 and is scheduled for a 2024 release.
It's not bad for its time, and certainly holds more value than Jack, which is pretty easy to identify as bottom-of-the-barrel for Coppola. You're a Big Boy Now fits in with the sort of rebellious, youthful films that were popular during the final years of the rebellious decade in which it was released, but probably isn't an essential watch for anyone other than the filmmaker's most devoted fans.
19 'Youth Without Youth' No one could accuse Youth Without Youth of not being ambitious, with it being one film of several that show how even as he gets older, Coppola continues to be uncompromising as an artist. Much of it plays out during World War II, with the narrative centering on a 70-year-old man who gets struck by lightning and finds it makes him become 40 again.
It's low-budget, short , and delivers a decent amount of B-movie thrills, with the plot centering on a woman who's stalked by an ax murderer. It's notable for being produced by Roger Corman, who, besides directing low-budget movies, also gave many up-and-coming directors their first break, feature film-wise. Beyond Coppola, he also did the same for other young directors before they became big, like Peter Bogdanovich and Martin Scorsese .
14 'Tetro' Two years before Twixt, Francis Ford Coppola released another strange yet compelling film with a title that began with "T," and consisted of a single five-letter word. That movie was Tetro, and it's about two estranged brothers, the younger of whom seeks out the older one and tries to rekindle their bond.
12 'One from the Heart' Regrettably, One from the Heart never really stood a chance, being an odd movie that went over budget, had a troubled production, divided critics upon release, and then didn't open as widely as anticipated, meaning it made less than $1 million at the box office... and that was against a budget of $26 million!This resulted in a turbulent 1980s for Coppola, given he went into debt after the release of this movie and had to make it up somehow.
It's set during the 1940s and evokes the time period incredibly well, using bold colors, having great attention to detail as far as costumes and sets are concerned, and also, naturally, featuring plenty of great-looking old cars. It's a movie about being creative and passionate no matter the consequences, and it's likely that Coppola saw himself in Tucker and his wild yet noble ambitions.
7 'The Rain People' Francis Ford Coppola's fourth feature film was The Rain People, and it's arguably the first great movie he directed, too. There were flashes of greatness in his earlier movies, to some extent, but this 1969 film feels confident and striking throughout, being a road movie about loneliness, fears of growing old, and the challenges that come with trying to find like-minded people in an increasingly expanding world.
