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!!!

1. Pump Up The Volume - The best movie I've ever seen as far as teen flicks go.
2. Heathers - Another one that tackles teenaged angst perfectly.
3. The legend of Billie Jean - Now that I am older, I see the problems with it,
but it is still a fun movie to watch. Brings back a lot of memories.
4. Kuffs - Another one with problems, but is really fun.
5. Gleaming The Cube
6. True Romance
7. Jimmy Hollywood
8. Untaimed Heart
9. Broken Arrow
10. Young Guns II

1.Untamed Heart: Caroline: What did the doctor say?
Adam: That I'm not allowed to stick knives in my stomach.
2.Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves: Will Scarlett: There was a rich man from Nottingham/ who tried to cross a river, What a dope he tripped on a rope, Now look at him shiver. Beg for mercy, rich man.
3.Broken Arrow: Riley Hale: You know - these exercises are fantastic. When the day comes we have to go to war against Utah, we're really going to kick ass, y'know?
4.Mobsters: Lucky: [after being set up by Don Faranzano and surviving] ... When Tommy Reina went with Faranzano, Don Masseria made Tommy pay a price: me.
[to Lansky]
Lucky: ... Meyer, from now on, you and me gotta agree. So if I start getting a swelled head, just shoot me. It'd be a lot less painful.

I haven’t seen Pump Up the Volume yet but I’m getting it this weekend from Netflix.

WTF? Slater has been in a lot of enjoyable movies, but let's face facts here. TRUE ROMANCE is by far his best role of all time. Not only is he perfect as Clarence, but the movie is one of the all time greats. What a cast! What a script. What great direction. What great cinematography. Do I really need to continue? TRUE ROMANCE! No contest.

No one liked "The Name Of The Rose" ? I thought he was great in that.
