Live Poll: 'Blow-Up' vs. 'The Conversation' vs. 'Blow Out'

In 1966, Michelangelo Antonioni's masterpiece- 'Blowup' was released and it became quite sensational which also won the Palme d'Or from that year. Few years later, Francis Ford Coppola's 'The Conversation' came out which was inspired by the Blow-Up. Coincidentally, it also won the Palme d'Or. Then in 1981, Brian De Palma's 'Blow Out' came out, which dealt with the similar themes, but used sound recording rather than photography as its motif. Which of these 3 films, do you consider, to be the best?List: http://www.imdb.com/list/ls068861684/Poll: http://www.imdb.com/poll/WUQ3I5EU8-Q/

Good poll and a great description! I only have to watch The Conversation from those 3. I really love Blow out. And I didn't like Blowup.

Yes, I can understand that. Blow up is not as accessible as the two others. Thanks for the appreciation!

Now I also have seen The Conversation. And I think The Converstaion is also not very accessible. It's slow and some meaningless scenes, in my opinion. I didn't like it. So, by far, my vote will be Blow Out.

great poll akash...and a tough one to vote on...although 'blow up' was a breakthrough film, i do love both 'the conversation' and 'blow out'...saw 'the conversation' on a double bill with 'chinatown' (can you imagine that...)...it still is today a powerfully incredible film...'blow out' was certainly one of travolta's best performances and a great movie in itself (must've seen it a couple-a-hundred times at least)...great parallel to teddy kennedy's incident...both so good, but in the end, would have to go with 'the conversation'...

Tough Call, Brian De Palma's 'Blow Out' I like the cinematography and style better, but Francis Ford Coppola's 'The Conversation' but is probably the better film.

The Conversation, although I also liked Blow Out. I didn't see Blow Up. I'm having a bit of deja-vu - I remember responding to this, already, lol.

May I suggest a few edits? (Below in bold)In 1966, Michelangelo Antonioni's masterpiece- 'Blowup (1966)' was released and it became quite sensational and also won the Palme d'Or from that year. A few years later, Francis Ford Coppola's 'The Conversation (1974)' came out which was inspired by 'Blow-Up.' Coincidentally, it also won the Palme d'Or. Then in 1981, Brian De Palma's 'Blow Out (1981)' came out, which dealt with the similar themes, but used sound recording rather than photography as its motif. Which of these 3 films do you consider, to be the best? (no comma)Thank you!
