Sin City -- Garbage, it's true and you know it.
Reservoir Dogs -- maybe I have to watch it again, but I doubt it.
Shane -- How anyone finds this to be classic is beyond me. Painfully bad.

The thing about Reservoir Dogs is they basically spend around 90% of the movie just sitting about talking a load of sh*te, when in actual fact its more entertaining to skip to the bit where he has the policeman captive and cuts his f*cking ear off.

The whole attraction for Reservoir Dogs in the first place is the interaction though surely? It's an incredibly impressive film when you consider most of it is in one scene, the one on ones and the personalities are brilliant.

Although Tarantino has possibly wrung that side of his film making to death by now, I have to agree. The reason why RD worked was the verbal interplay and the normality of the situation. It is incredibly difficult to write free flowing naturalistic dialogue and he did it here with aplomb. He still hasn't topped it and never will.

I'd say Pulp Fiction has better moments myself, obvious opinion as it may be. I haven't watched Jackie Brown in yonks but i remember liking the Jackson/De Niro duo.

Pulp Fiction had better lines for sure and I do like the film but Jarmusch's Mystery Train did the 3 storyline interlink better, easier, earlier and with Tom Waits so that wins by default.

And it also has Joe Strummer, which I think makes just makes it even better.
