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.
