Before Alice Sebold’s debut novel The Lovely Bonesmade its way to shelves the world over, Scottish director Lynne Ramsay began adapting the story for film with the intent of making an intensely bleak tale of familial grief. When the novel became a major best-seller and cultural milestone, the producers decided they wanted a bigger name at the helm ...
Truthfully, it would be easy to group together all three of the Hobbit movies here and call it a day. Fans had high expectations for this Middle Earth prequel given the stratospheric success of The Lord of the Ringstrilogy, and Jackson bore the smothering weight of that anticipation after taking over director duties from Guillermo del Toro. What st...
If Tolkien fans were optimistic about the future of The Hobbit following An Unexpected Journey, then it was with The Desolation of Smaug where things started to go off the rails. While it’s not the disaster that The Battle of Five Armies would turn out to be, the middle movie suffers from all the expected issues of being the stopgap of the trilogy....
Jackson made his debut as a director with the indie film Bad Taste, shooting on the weekends over the course of four years, using his mother's oven to make the special effects and keeping locations to his hometown of Pukerua Bay. Bad Taste did not delight the film industry of Jackson's native New Zealand, with one executive even speaking out to arg...
Long before The Happytime Murders wondered, “What if The Muppets was pointlessly adult and crude?” Jackson got there first with Meet the Feebles. Jackson's second feature film has won a cult following in the years following its initial commercial failure thanks to its deeply perverse and caustic parody of the wholesomeness of Jim Henson. The eponym...
It would be false to claim that the first of the three Hobbit films is brilliant or anywhere near the level of The Lord of the Rings trilogy, but there's enough of that old familiar magic in there that audiences wondered if Jackson and company could pull this experiment off. The casting of Martin Freeman as Bilbo Baggins is still spot on, and the s...
Out of all of Jackson's low-budget gross-out early movies, it's Braindead that remains the peak of this period in his career. It's bigger, more ambitious, and way more disgusting! Close to thirty years later and the sheer glut of gore in Braindead remains startling, as well as hilariously inventive. In many ways, it is the true heir to Evil Dead 2,...
Made after Heavenly Creatures and long before he made his way to Middle Earth, Jackson combined his grimy bad taste roots with a more polished Hollywood style with 1996's The Frighteners, a comedy horror that Sam Raimi would have been proud of. Michael J. Fox plays a traumatized widower who makes a living as a fake spiritualist despite his real abi...
In terms of intent, Jackson’s intensely detailed extremely long remake of the Hollywood monster movie classic King Kong feels like his version of James Cameron’s Titanic, not so much because of plot or style but because of how it evokes each film-maker’s true love for the material in a manner that verges on obsessive, for better or worse. 2005’s Ki...
Four years after The Hobbit trilogy came to a financially successful but critically maligned end, Jackson decided to take a complete U-turn with his next directorial effort. They Shall Not Grow Old is a documentary that uses little-seen footage from the First World War and brings to life the silent black and white images of the conflict. Through ex...
- Vinnie Mancuso
- The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers. Why is Peter Jackson so good at the middle chapters of epic trilogies? Impossible to say. All I know is that The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers is where Fellowship's warmth and Return's ambition meet to form a flawless, timeless fantasy.
- The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring. It's almost impossible to look back and appreciate the impact of The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring from a place where nerdiness is synonymous with blockbusters.
- The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King. As Theoden once whispered to Aragorn: "What would you have me do?" The Lord of the Rings trilogy is Jackson's crowning achievement and any other Top 3 would be some Sauron-ass levels of treachery and deceit.
- Heavenly Creatures. Heavenly Creatures isn't technically a horror movie—and it's arguably the most bloodless thing Jackson has ever made—but it's also his scariest film.
- Rob Hunter
- The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King. At a whopping 200 minutes — and that's still a full hour shorter than the extended cut — "The Return of the King" isn't exactly a movie you throw on for casual rewatches.
- Dead Alive. Some might take umbrage with placing a "mere" horror-comedy higher on this list than two of Jackson's "Lord of the Rings" films, but come on.
- The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers. Middle films in trilogies have both the best and worst of it. They don't have to waste time setting up story or characters, but they also don't get to deliver much in the way of closure.
- The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring. It can't be overstated how much of a gamble it was to not only produce a trilogy based on J.R.R. Tolkien's masterpiece, but also to hand the reins to Peter Jackson.
- The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King (2003) Closing out our list is the last installment of The Lord of the Rings series, The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King.
- The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers (2002) The second installment of the trilogy was released one year after the first in 2002. It continues the adventure that started in the first and follows Frodo and Sam as they gain ground on Morodor in order to confront Sauron.
- The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring (2001) The adaption of J.R.R. Tolkien’s The Lord of the Rings trilogy was a monumental task, and Peter Jackson did it brilliantly.
- Dead Alive. Dead Alive is a 1992 blood-filled comedy horror movie. The film, like many other Jackson projects, has developed a bit of a cult following and is to many an introduction to his distinct campy horror subgenre.
