I believe some of the best movies ever made were Kill Bill Vol.1 and Vol.2.
It is good to watch old asian action films too, as they inspired Kill Bill.
Things with Bruce Lee, like The way of the Dragon for example, are great.

I haven't really thought about this question that much, but Terminator 2 might be my actual favorite movie. Everyone talks about how cool the special effects are, and like... yes. They should talk about that even more, because they're fucking amazing. T2 is just a great looking movie in every regard. Everyone plays off each other really well, and even if it loses the sense of tension the first movie has, it just comes together so goddamn well.

There are a fair few other movies I liked a lot, even if I wouldn't say they were my favorite.
I remember being REALLY pleasantly surprised by Bullet Train for example, which I thought was going to be shit going in. There are a few bits where I feel like the staff really wanted to be like Tarantino but weren't really able to do manage it, but it really was a fun movie anyway.

...it probably would have been an even better movie with him at the helm, however.

Also, even though it is actively not a good movie, I had an amazing time with Moonfall. It's basically a B-movie with as much budget as possible. I'm genuinely annoyed it bombed so hard. Watching it with a buddy in an empty theater was an amazing experience.
FUCK THE MOON!

I think a lot about how Top Gun (the first one), in terms of plot, is just not a good movie... but in nearly every other aspect? Pure masterpiece.
It's like they distilled the absolute essence of style into every goddamn shot. Top Gun is an actual masterpiece of cinematography. It's such a visually striking movie, I can't stop gushing about it when I think about it.
The sequel isn't quite as good in that regard, but the story is much, much better, so it evens out.

I hate them singing "great balls of fire", I hate the song. Everybody sings it because of them and I hate it.

I'm not particularly fond of Tarantino movies. They're too edgy.

that's fair
being edgy is his thing, so if you don't like that, there isn't much he has done that would appeal to you

what movies do you like?

I'd say his only good movies are Pulp Fiction, Kill Bill, and Death Proof

I really like criminal suspense, and I think the Silence of the Lambs is one of the best films of that genre.
I love Dr. Lecter's escape scene, I'm sure everyone here has seen the movie, but the scene starts at 1:14:15:

I watched Bullet Train last night, I too was pleasantly surprised. Although the girl in pink is ugly as sin.

Sion Sono films are pretty good.

10 Name: Nameless : 2025/08/10 06:17

Back to the Future. I just like fun, goofy 80s movies with weird concepts.

11 Name: Nameless : 2025/08/10 12:41

it might actually be 20 years...
