    I notice you didn't mention the outstanding performance by Guybrush Threepwood's mom.

    Not saying they are the best from a critical standpoint, of course.

    I love your list! And Amadeus? Wow, it simply blows my mind with the way it depicts Mozart, an spoiled child in a grown man's body instead of a larger-than-life genius. And thank god, Amadeus was not a traditional villain which would be horrible. As I see it, Amadeus deserves every one of it eight Oscars. Yeah, it's definitely on the top of my list.

    Fucking macgeek200x.



    You actually started a normal thread and got genuine responses that weren't negatively directed at you.



    But obviously that wasn't good enough.



    You just HAD to go and pat yourself on the back once more...

    I'd have to be an idiot if this movie wasn't on my list. I have a copy and usually watch it 4-5 times a year. Especially at parties, just because there are so many memorable scenes.

    Y'know, this movie on second viewing (recently) was so jarringly violent I couldn't stand it.

    I saw it in the theater when it came out. The scene with Gandolfini and Arquette was cut down because it would have gotten an NC-17 rating. I recall when the director's cut came out that they put it back in. I didn't expect the realism Scott got on screen and it was (is) upsetting. There are a lot of humorous elements that balance out the chaos though. But this is a love story above all else. One that has been told through the ages. It's just a coked-up '90's version of it. In film it has been also a repeated premise...



    Rebel Without a Cause - James Dean, Natalie Wood

    Bonnie and Clyde - Warren Beatty, Faye Dunaway

    Badlands - Martin Sheen, Sissy Spacek

    Dirty Mary, Crazy Larry - Peter Fonda, Susan George

    Wild at Heart - Nicolas Cage, Laura Dern

    True Romance - Christian Slater, Patricia Arquette

    Natural Born Killers - Woody Harrelson, Juliette Lewis



    Another thing, I always wondered where Hans Zimmer came up with that one composition ("You're So Cool") used in the movie, there was also a similar song in the 1973 film Badlands. Almost the same story (based on a true one no less) and it seems that Tarantino swiped a lot of the ideas for True Romance from the movie Badlands.

    Quentin is a shameless 'swiper'. I think the Avary/Tarantino scriptwriting genius was a one shot that resulted in "Pulp Fiction" and we'll likely never see that depth of script from him again. He'd take all the credit anyway.

    What's even more ridiculous is that he's genuinely surprised when he's figured out every time. The pattern isn't that hard to follow.



    First he emerges.

    Then he denies.

    Then he confesses.

    Then he apologizes.

    Then he's "enlightened."

    Finally, he leaves.



    Rinse and repeat.

    catherine sea is one name used by someone spamming through forum drivebys to increase the pagerank of the site in the sig. As surprising as it is considering macgeek is notorious for silly posts and using countless aliases, this time it's almost certainly not macgeek.



    Also, catherine sea/dynamsoft/loser SEO consultant dynamsoft paid to increase their page rank: SEO is already a trashy field, but congrats on making it just that much trashier.

    PUBLIC APOLOGY TO HELLGATE



    Sorry. Sorry sorry sorry. Mea culpa.



    Amadeus is a good film, but have you seen it in the theatre ever? The original is really good.
