Great Films and Filmmakers

I think Jackie Brown is vastlyunderappreciated. After I saw it for the first time recently, I was shocked Tarantino took crap for that movie.


Oh, and Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels is a better movie by far, than True Lies as well.

Ah.... True Lies?

I like light hearted action comedies like True Lies and Ocean's Eleven. And to be honest, it is one of the *hardest* genres to make work, so my hats off to directors that can walk that line.

Reservoir Dogs
Pulp Fiction
Jackie Brown

IMO Tarantino only has 2 worthy films - Reservoir and Pulp - and without someone like Stacey Sher to guide him, I think he's a hack. His other films are self indulgent and heavy handed.

Rashomon

Personally I didn't care for his adaptation of Rashomon - I'd put RAN on the list instead.

How about Prizzi's Honor instead of African Queen?
