I love Peele's social commentary though. Eggers' attention to accurate detail is unparalleled, but something about Peele's wit and sly style of humor just makes his movies more interesting and fun watches to me.
With Eggers I'm like "wow he's really going the extra mile here to create a seemingly realistic take" and with Peele I'm like "hot damn this is fun and also smart".
The Lighthouse Get Out The Northman The Witch Nope Us
Watch Brothers. Eggers short film around the time of The VVitch. A film that doesn't rely on incredibly close attention to detail.
I'm not really a big fan of either, tbh. Eggers makes incredibly beautiful films that don't really have a good story behind them and Peele knows how to make a really fun film that don't really qualify as a genre. I think Get Out is more of a thriller than horror personally. I'd probably pick Peele between the two and Ari Aster above all of them. His next film is going to further cement his already amazing career.

Yeah, I wanted to include Aster but since his 3rd film hasn't been released yet, I decided it wouldn't be as comparable with the other two. I'd probably rank him right behind Eggers right now but we'll see how Disappointment Blvd turns out to be.

On the topic of short films, check out The Strange Thing About the Johnsons if you haven't already. From Ari Aster with a truly fucked up premise that only he would be capable of. I think the combination of that + Herediatary and Midsommar puts him above everyone else.

. Get Out is without debate a horror film. Both psychological and body horror.
I really want to see it again but I think Nope will end up as my favorite of the three Peele movies. It's overstuffed with ideas and visuals whereas the other two, which I like very much, were fairly simple in plot and theme.
Aster isn't on either of these guy's level imo though.
It’s tricky for me with Aster, personally I would rank Hereditary higher than the other 6 movies in this thread, it’s one of my all time favorites, but I thought Midsommar was kinda mehh. Still excited to check out the new flick though!
I like Hereditary a lot, probably more than Get Out or Us. I thought Midsommar started very strong in the first act and then got kinda meh. I probably shouldn't have said he's not on Peele or Eggers level. He's very talented and probably makes as good or better films than Peele. Eggers is the next Kubrick, though.
Just wondering, did you see The Northman in theater or wait til it was streaming? If you really thought it was trash I'm guessing it wouldn't have made much difference either way but the theater experience was superb imo and made it that much better for me.

I definitely plan on seeing Nope again but don't think it will change where it stands for me with Peele's movies. Definitely like it more than Us, which I was disappointed in but it's not as good as Get Out, which I really liked.
I thought the first act was really good with some cool scenes and ideas. Second act was ok but it fell off for me in the 3rd.

Without being too spoilery, I really wish the end of Nope was different. A different ending could have really driven the point home for me. I still liked it better than Us (which I didn't dislike) and would also like to watch it again, but a different ending would have made it a lot stronger for me.
As said above, I love all six from the two filmmakers. I honestly never really thought of comparing Peele against Eggers. It was always more of a Aster vs Eggers debate for me, whereas I thought Aster created more effective horror and dread, while Eggers is an overall better and more precise director.
I really put Peele on a different level, not for skill, but for appeal. With Get Out's Best Picture nomination he really crossed over into the mainstream, which I think Eggers kind of failed at with The Northman. Nope is on its way to being another success.
Still all three are very early in their career. I feel pretty rock solid about Eggers never churning out an outright bad film, and after seeing Nope and hearing/reading Peele in interviews I am pretty confident in him as well. Aster remains to be decided after Disappointment Boulevard.
I felt like the overall theme of the movie was sort of undermined by the way it ended. The whole movie is about exploitation for entertainment, and creating a spectacle out of an unpredictable wild animal. We have Jupe, who had that traumatic experience with Gordy (favorite scene of the movie btw), but he obviously didn't learn the proper lesson from this experience as he continued to exploit it by charging people thousands of dollars to look at the Gordy props and then we see his exploitation of the alien creature lead to his demise. But then... the Haywoods do the same thing trying to get the picture of the alien. The only difference was they learned to adapt to the alien's rules so they could get their shot. So idk, to me it felt sort of like.. what's the messaging here? They still made a spectacle of the alien, they just tricked it better than Jupe did. Idk, I thought the moral should have been more along the lines of "don't fuck with unpredictable creatures or you will fucking die" instead of "if you trick an animal well enough you can profit off of it, just don't be dumb about it". I just think a darker ending would have driven the point home better.

they also make an effort to kill the cryptid and succeed in doing so. So they were willing to exploit it, but at that point they kind of had to to justify what had happened on their ranch and what had happened to Jupe and his patrons. Otherwise they were probably going to be in a lot of trouble, I'd think. Of course they'd take the blame. It's somewhat ironic that they got dragged down to the level of exploiting it, but they also knew they needed to get rid of the monster to keep domain over their land, justify their house being soaked in the blood of forty people, and avenge their father.

Those are all super valid points... I wanna watch it again, haha! All of this being said I still really liked the movie, there were some awesome sequences in there.
