I recently saw Windtalkers, and Christian Slater didn't really have much of a role. What's your favourite Christian Slater movies?

1. Broken Arrow - I loved Slater's eager performane in this. He kicks Travolta's ass!
2. Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves - Check out that great haircut!
3. Pump Up the Volume - Plays both characters in great contrast. ONe of his best!
4. Very Bad Things - Very funny in this.
5. Interview with the Vampire - Pisses off Brad Pitt. Nice.
6. Name of the Rose - Stars alongside Sean Connery in this. He later acted alongside Sean in Robin Hood.
7. True Romance - Best Jack Nicholson. Maybe there should be a "The Shining" remake, Slater would be great! Haley Joel Osment could play his son!

Great Slater movies i'm being recommened:

1. Heathers - Apparently this movies great!
2. Untamed Heart - I love Slater's shy performances.

Slater's worse flicks -

1. Kuffs - Very Bad, Slater shines thru though.
2. Run for the Money - Z movie. Keep away!!!

When I first watched True Romance I hated it. But the more I watched it the more it has become on of my favorite movies ever. The best part is when Patricia Arquettes character tells Christian's character she loves him and he says "If I throw caution to the wind, let the chips fall where they may and say I love you and you're lying, I'll f***ing die." His character is so kind and sweet to P.A.'s character, I just love to watch it!

By the way, I remember reading in a magazine (Rolling Stone I think) back in the mid-90's where the interviewer asked Slater which role was his favorite and which film he was most proud of and he stated Pump Up the Volume for both answers. With all the poor roles he's been saddled with over the last decade I'd bet his answer hasn't changed.

True Romance, hands down. A fine film, and Clarence Worley is my ideal man. I'm playing "You're So Cool" at my wedding.

Slater is my all time favourite actor with John Travolta. Here's my fav CS flicks in order:

Pump up the Volume \
True Romance-------- Both in my top 10 all time movies
Broken Arrow (Slater, Travolta and John Woo, not bad + Samantha Mathis is hot)
Murder in the First
Hard Rain (can't believe this only got one mention)
Young Guns II (diddo)
Mobsters
Very Bad Things (held this movie)
Interview with the Vampire

OK, but not great:

Kuffs
Robin Hood
Heathers (not a Jack fan)
Tucker

Below Par:

The Untamed Heart
Jimmy Hollywood

Anything else I haven't seen.
