Well here are the ones I have watched in their entirety:
From Dusk till Dawn
Pulp Fiction
Jackie Brown
Kill Bill
Inglourious Basterds
The older movies were tolerable. Perhaps I should try Reservoir Dogs.
Moonrise Kingdom was pretty good. Still kind of undecided about Broken Flowers and The Life Aquatic.
The Iron Man series was good, but then all movies with Robert Downey Jr. are, aren't they?
I'm also a fan of the Daniel Craig James Bonds.
broken flowers is by jim jarmusch, not wes anderson.
the problem with tarantino is that he's too busy paying tribute to obscure genres and formulating hip soundtracks. funny that wes anderson suffers the same. both of their first films were amazing (reservoir dogs/bottle rocket) and both followed up with second and third films that just nailed their style (t:pulp fiction/jackie brown, a:rushmore/royal tenenbaums) and were great to watch. been straight downhill since; like they're just spinning in directorial circles.
drive was fantastic if you're an early john carpenter (assualt on precinct 13) fan. i mean right down to the soundtrack, straight homage. i enjoyed it for what it was.
run lola run is also fantastic. it was part of a series by tykwer in which he explored fate and how it can change or remain a constant. run lola run explored the previous but the princess and her warrior explored the latter. i mean, i wasn't a fan of the animated sequences of rlr but i really enjoyed the plot. watching it sixteen years later could make it seem dated.
i will never, ever understand kevin smith. i have seen nothing worth noting. i saw clerks when it toured the college circuit before release and loved it. watched it a while back and was apalled. the editing pauses in between dialogue and the sheer inability of the actors to not sound like they were reading off cue cards was cringe worthy. yikes.
