Sam Raimi is best known for 'The Evil Dead' and his Marvel films, but what about everything else?
Sam Raimi has had a wild and thrillingly eclectic career directing films, that's for sure. He's perhaps best known for being the lead creative mind behind two beloved trilogies, The Evil Dead Trilogy and The Spider-Man Trilogy with Tobey Maguire . It's hard to deny that these are some of the best films he's made. Of the six, Spider-Man 3 might be the only divisive one, but at the very least, it's become memorable, thanks to the memes it's spawned.
8) 'For Love of the Game' The closest thing to a dud in Raimi's film career, For Love of the Game is a baseball movie starring Kevin Costner and is not to be mixed up with a better baseball movie starring Kevin Costner. It follows Costner's character as he deals with his career and love life and the struggles being 40 causes for both.
6) 'The Gift' The Gift is odd. It has a cast full of actors everyone knows . It has an interesting premise about a psychic who becomes involved in solving a murder case in a small town in the USA's south. But despite all that, it's become more or less forgotten. For a while, though, the fast-paced, ludicrous slapstick comedy and dark humor are a good bit of fun. It might just accelerate too much and feel too one-note at a certain point to end up as a great movie overall. But anyone who likes the comedic moments and energy of Raimi films like Evil Dead 2 or Army of Darkness should find a decent number of things to enjoy in Crimewave.
3) 'The Quick and the Dead' The Quick and the Dead is a fun, quirky Western/action movie. It features an all-star cast including Sharon Stone, Gene Hackman, Russell Crowe, a young Leonardo DiCaprio, and a whole host of accomplished character actors. It centers on a town that holds a brutal quick draw competition with multiple competitors and almost as many fatalities.
With its straightforward look at greed, deceit, and human weakness wrapped up in a crime-thriller story, it feels more like the Coen Brothers' serious movies. It's very underrated overall and, unlike some of Raimi's other semi-forgotten films, well worth a watch for anyone who wants to see a different side of Sam Raimi.
