re-watched after 27 years


still a ground breaking movie with some solid performances

I agree I like it a lot

It's still a fantastic film, and you can see why it was so groundbreaking for it's time. I still put Pulp Fiction ahead of it, but Jackie Brown and this are duking it out for 2nd place on my list. I always go for early Tarantino over his later films, although I really like Django Unchanined, Kill Bill films and The Hateful Eight. His first three films are still his best and most fun for me.

Great performances from all the cast especially Madsen and Keital for me. Great dialogue and a fast pace really stand out. I think he went back to this one location style with The Hateful Eight which didn't pack as much as punch as Dogs did.

I agree on The Hateful Eight. He did try and go back to the reservoir well.

It was way too long and in love with itself, but it had some great moments and a great turn from Samuel l Jackson and Jennifer Jason Leigh and with a little editing could have been his best film in years. But a lot like his latest movies they are way too long.
