Re: Best Paul Verhoeven Film
Paul directed Showgirls, yes.
Something I've always been fascinated by, how polarizing that Starship Troopers has been in the film community over the years. By its detractors it got the nickname "Melrose Space" for its pretty boy (& girl) cast, most of whom were not exactly known beforehand for their great acting range, some feel it's one of the most ludicrous films of the last quarter century, but then there are those who feel the other half sort of "missed the joke", that Paul's film (based of Robert Heinlen's original novel) was a big bit of satirizing about its subject, and done so deftly that they consider it hardly anything short of a brilliant film.
edit: yes and as best I can tell, over the years Showsgirls has been one of the top movies to reach the "so bad, it's great" category.
