Nah, Reservoir Dogs is a great piece of work and brought something different to the table when it came out, however its in essence so similar to Pulp Fiction that there's literally no point in having the two of them in a top 5.

yea, maybe when it came out, but we judge works of art based on things today, and as far as movies go, the lasting appeal of tarantino beyond Pulp Fiction and say maybe several of the movies he wrote but didn't direct, is beyond me.

Who says you're not perfect?
Who says you're not worth it?

It's alright, nothing to hate. There are better Tarantino movies than the two you have.

I don't know what mine is. The Matrix and Shawshank would be on it.

I wanted to show more variety in genre with my list than anything else. To get my tastes across more than anything else. If you look at BttF or Evil Dead they're at the top of their genres. BttF is, in my opinion, the perfect comedy. Yes, it's an entertaining film, it should be after all. The reason I list it is because I think everyone should have a comedy of some sort on a list like this. Andel actually got it right by having The Big Lebowski on his list. I'd say it's the only film that's "different" from the others on his list so to speak. And even then, it's still a bit similar in tone to the others.

As for Evil Dead I enjoy horror films. As such, I think this should be represented on my list. It's a great, entertaining horror film. Plus, there's something to be admired about the story behind the film. Filmed on a shoestring budget by a group of friends in a cabin in the woods and yet it looks fantastic and really displays a high pedigree of ingenuous film making. I think it's somewhat of an inspirational film in this regard. So yes, it's entertaining but it also has more emotional resonance with me.

Beyond you perhaps, but I rate it very highly and so do a lot of Critics I know.

It hasn't dated like the Wild One, Reservoir Dogs is a fine film.

I've spent my life researching the multiples of zero and it has amounted to nothing.

Anyone who would put the 3rd Die Hard movie above the 1st is a little confused.

...The first Die Hard movie is above the third twice.

I can tell you, with hand on heart, that I have no ribs.

But you still managed to put Die Hard 2 on there. One of the worst atrocities of all time.

Man, I just rewatched Die Hard 4.0 'cause of this topic. Man that film is as awesome as the first.

John McClane in a car > Helicopters
John McClane in a truck > Jets
John McClane with a handgun > Terrorists. All of them.

I'd like to see John McClane and Nathan Drake team up. Somehow.

4. Shawshank Redemption
5. It's a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World

So you shouldn't have 2 movies you really enjoyed in your top 5 because they're similar? Really?
