Brian De Palma is often cited as one of the foundational filmmakers of the “New Hollywood” movement, as he developed filmmaking techniques that the industry had never seen before. While De Palma’s aptitude for suspense and intrigue drew many comparisons to the work of the great Alfred Hitchcock, his films tended to be even more violent and explicit.

Expand Watch on Paramount Plus 4 ‘Mission: Impossible’ Starring Tom Cruise and Ving Rhames Mission: Impossible is perhaps the most consistently excellent film franchise running today, but it all started with the 1996 film that De Palma directed. While later installments in the series would feature heightened action sequences and more extreme stunts, the original film set up a great conspiracy thriller angle in which Ethan Hunt had to clear his name after being accused of being involved in the death of his crew.
3 ‘Casualties of War’ Starring Michael J. Fox and Sean Penn Casualties of War may be the single darkest film of De Palma’s entire career, as it explored the truly unforgivable acts of savagery committed by the American military towards native people during the height of the Vietnam War. The film centers on a newly recruited infantryman who must deal with an overtly aggressive sergeant who has no sympathy for the civilians he is intended to protect.
