Unmitigated bollocks that even the lesbo scene between those two couldn't redeem. My Lynch fanboi mates think it's the movie version of the Mona Lisa though.
You are correct about Eastwood, but you are clearly a complete philistine based on your opinion of Lynch!
I like a lot of Lynch movies (and original Twin Peaks), but he disappeared too far up his ass on that one.

I’m probably Clints biggest fan in terms of his acting but even I admit some of the stuff he directs is a bit hit or miss.....still, he wasn’t to know Kevin Spacey was a sex pest I guess.

Pulp Fiction
I'm almost alone these days when I say I'm not a Tarantino fan. Struggled to stay awake in so many of his "masterpieces". But, like everything, there is an exception. Pulp Fiction is one of those movies that gets better every single time you watch it. The lines, the delivery, Samuel L at his astonishing best. Best parts are the story with Travolta / Thurman.

I need to do another Tarantino marathon to assess where it stands....I’ve also only seen OUATIH once, that needs to be rectified

Pulp Fiction is #1. You just need to decide on the minor placings

Not necessarily. Inglorious basterds, Django and Jackie Brown are outstanding.

Oh please. Django is excellent but nowhere near the ground breaking class of PF. The other 2 are leagues away especially Jackie Brown which I don't rate at all. Reservoir Dogs is miles better than those 2

Yeah PF is probably still number one but again, loved the others I mentioned too. It’s not as straightforward as you think.

Probably right. All those movies have much in common, the great acting, incredible scripts, inherent coolness", awesome soundtracks. I just think the thing that sets PF apart is that it's just so fucking CLEVER. Conceptually it was so unique, when you came out of the cinema you were just "what the fuck did I just see???".
I think the absence of social media helped also, as I had no clue what I was in for. And it probably wasn't until my 2nd or 3rd viewing when I realised how special it was.

We're pretty much making the same point it's just you have more conviction in your views
I love most Tarantino films except Kill Bill 1 which wasn't that flash and Death Proof which is just fucken awful.
I suspect Once Upon a Time in Hollywood will sit somewhere in the middle, Brad and Leo are both supremely fucken cool but it does drag alot in parts.

The dialogue in some of QT's movies can feel a little forced. Pulp Fiction felt so natural, like that's what hired gun/thugs talked about when they weren't shooting and roughing up people

Do you need to edit this or are you deliberately contradicting yourself ?

Good man.
The dialogue in Pulp Fiction is definitely the most quotable and memorable which as I’ve said probably puts it at number one......but arguments can be made that others are technically better films.

I wasn't sure which thread to put this into, probably the sports TV thread is better. I watched The Short Game on Netflix. Made in 2013 it follows a bunch of kids competing in the World Junior Golf Champs at Pinehurst Country Club. More than a film about golf, it shows why golf is a metaphor for life. I watched it with the CF Jnrs and there were lots of teaching moments about not giving up, working hard, and reacting to life's bad beats the right way (and in some cases the wrong way). 5 child golf prodigies out of 5 angry caddie Dads
