Paul Verhoeven (Dutch: [ˈpʌul vərˈɦuvə(n)]; born 18 July 1938) is a Dutch film director. His films are known for their graphic violence and sexual content, combined with social satire.
- Flesh + Blood (1990) For all Flesh + Blood’s troubled production (it’s the film that ended his long partnership with Hauer) it plays like one of Verhoeven’s most unhinged visions, a film full of characters doing nasty things but with the beats of a comedy.
- Soldier of Orange (1977) Among the most acclaimed of Verhoeven’s films from the first half of his career, Soldier of Orange is an odd duck in that it is an immensely accomplished picture that might not even feel like one of his films on first viewing.
- Basic Instinct (1992) Maybe Basic Instinct is ranked too low for being arguably Verhoeven’s most widely seen, but it is difficult to rank because it is a film that succeeds almost despite itself.
- Business is Business (1971) One of the most unsung debuts for any filmmaker. The movie is a simple story of two prostitutes; Greet is a seasoned veteran and Nel hopes to eventually graduate to civilian life.
