List: Top 3 Paul Greengrass Scenes

This week on Episode 180, inspired by Jason Bourne, we decided to talk about our favorite Paul Greengrass scenes. Greengrass is, in our opinion, a really good director that isn’t mentioned as much when talking about the great directors working today. As much as we love Quentin Tarantino, Martin Scorsese and Richard Linklater, Greengrass should be in the conversation somewhere. The way he elevated the Bourne franchise with Supremacy and Ultimatum was quite stellar, while United 93 and Captain Phillips are two of the most emotional and heart-pounding “based off of true events” films we’ve seen in the last decade. In the middle all of that, he’s depicted scenes that are truly breathtaking and unforgettable.

On that note, which Paul Greengrass scenes would make your list? Here are the one’s that made ours:
