Arguably two of the best directors who debuted in the '80s with some pretty similar parallels - in addition to their films largely being horror / comedies, they readily dabble in the horrors of medical science gone wrong. And the consensus is that their first two films are also their best and most widely acclaimed. I don't think there's any disputing that.
Who's your favorite of the two? And how would you rank each of their first two movies?
I think I would take Stuart Gordon, but only ever so slightly. It's a tough one.
Ranking their masterpieces:
Re-Animator
Brain Damage
From Beyond
Basket Case
Feel free to rank all of their movies if you'd like, too.

anyway..
Here is how I would rank and rate them (of what I seen)..
Frank Henenlotter:
Frankenhooker (1990) 7
Basket Case (1982) 6
Brain Damage (1988) 6
Stuart Gordon:
Dagon (2001) 8
Re-Animator (1985) 7
From Beyond (1986) 6
Dolls (1987) 4
I would like to see Stuck (2007) from Gordon. These two directors would not be among my favorites but I like a few of their movies. I would probably side with Stuart Gordon.
