I'd say Midnight Express was his masterpiece.

Angel Heart could have turned out sillier or more gruesome if it weren’t for director Alan Parker, whose masterpiece, in my opinion, is his 1991 working-class comedy The Commitments about a bunch of down-on-their-luck Dublin teens in the 60s who start a soul music band.

I'd say Midnight Express was his masterpiece. I like The Commitments, but as a connoisseur of synth pop I can't forgive one particular character's dismissal of Depeche Mode as "art school ponces".
