    Which is ill-considered; Sin City gets a head-and-shoulders-above-the-rest second placing. Snot 'just a violent movie'.

    I wait with bated breath in the hope of finding out which.

    A small part of me suspects that you're still deciding on that.

    They are all great movies!
    I voted Dusk till Dawn.

    Other stan outs include Pulp Fiction and Sin City.
    Tarentino is excellent!

    Spaaaarta.

    Name another Pulp?
    It'd odd, but Lock, Stock & Two Smoking Barrels always struck the same chord with me that Pulp Fiction did.

    I think it's just the ways that the stories intertwined.

    S'funny, I was going to say the same thing, but I've never watched Lock Stock sober, so I wasn't sure whether I'd just be talking bollocks.

    Close between Reservoir dogs and Pulp fiction,

    Went with Dogs, not sure way, guess i like seening Chris Penn in fat mode lol

    But those are Tarantino's only 2 good films, he's too over rated and believes all the BS written about him really.

    007XX met him in a bar once and reckons he's a slimeball.

    I told her she should've just taken her shoes off.

    A majority of film critics disagree with you.

    "It’s violent, it’s sexist, it’s clichéd and it’s trashy. And for once those are all plus-points."

    I guess if you gotta ask, you'll never understand...

    Edit: You are still trying to decide which of my three remakes you didn't like, aren't you?

    Despite being a very gutted version of the original story.

    'That genre'?

    What, movies with lower-class British characters in them?

    That's a bit broad to be a 'genre'.

    Although, admittedly, this thread was overdue for the use of the word 'genre'. You totally get cool points for being first.

    Completely OT but saw "In Bruges" the other day. It's a worthy successor to Lock Stock and Snatch. Same idiom.

    I went with Pulp for exactly this reason...YEARS ago my work mates and I would sit outside at lunch break with a tape recording of the dialogue from various parts of this movie and listen to it. Without the picture it's still just as brilliant and just as enjoyable.
    If it ain't broke...fix it till it is!!
