Agreed! Nothing beats the old black and white movies like above masterpiece. Clerks is another one that masterfully and preciently immagined the New Jersey of the 1990s. Amazing foresight.
He wrote it too. I remember bringing up how much I love this film several years ago on here and pretty much everyone disagreed with me. That simply reinforced my belief that I have better taste than most people.
^Val Kilmer is one of my all-time favorites. He got seriously snubbed for best supporting actor in Tombstone and Kiss Kiss Bang Bang (everyone needs to see this if you haven’t already).
His first three movies are all classics - Top Secret, Real Genius, and Top Gun. He was a badass in Willow. He was great in The Doors even if the movie was a bit heavy-handed. He was a good Batman even if the movie was horrible. Another great supporting role in Heat. And he’s done some terrific cameo work on Robot Chicken and Entourage.
And, as an added bonus, he’s an active redditor so he just pops into threads from time to time.
I liked this one and “The Very bad things” with Christian Slater. This one is not directed nor written by Tarantino.
I like those Tarantino movies’ morbid dialogues and a black humor but his new movies somehow have lost momentum and that specific dialogues. The first ones in early 90s and bit later are the best ones. I cannot recall any good after “From Dusk till Dawn”.
