- Mission to Mars (2000) A challenging project for De Palma that also, sadly, became synonymous with the term “box office poison” back in 2000 when it came out, the film also saw a lot of unsavory artistic compromises foisted upon him from the studio, including a problematic script he could do very little about.
- The Bonfire of the Vanities (1990) Certainly De Palma’s most notorious film, this misguided adaptation of the best-selling Tom Wolfe novel of the same name, The Bonfire of the Vanities tells the confused and convoluted story of Wall Street executive Sherman McCoy (Tom Hanks).
- Get to Know Your Rabbit (1972) A challenging film for De Palma, he had to prove his status as a skilled up-and-coming filmmaker to both leads Tom Smothers and the legendary Orson Welles in this seldom seen early effort that often feels like a Bananas-era Woody Allen pratfall comedy with the drollery of Monty Python stirred into the mix.
- The Wedding Party (1969) A fast moving farce on the unease and misgivings of getting married, The Wedding Party is one of De Palma’s earliest efforts (he co-directed the picture with his then theater professor Wilford Leach and fellow student Cynthia Monroe).
