True Romance
Tarantino movie with Christian Slater, Patricia Arquette, Brad Pitt, Val Kilmer, Christopher Walken, Gary Oldman, Dennis Hopper, James Gandolfini, Samuel L. Jackson, Cris Penn, Tom Sizemore, and even Balky from Perfect strangers or whatever that show was from the 80's


Tarantino wrote did not direct True Romance

good flick. never thought of it as "overlooked" though

We're reaching for "under appreciated" at this point fellas...

I mean, who doesn't appreciate Tombstone??!!? Val Kilmer's best performance aside from Top Gun.

Alpha Dog?!?! The NSync movie???

House of Games is a good one, a lot of folks can't get by the weird dialogue... that dude, Rickey Jay in that movie - he's an amazing slight of hand artist (and historian). Amazing stuff he did in his off-broadway show.

i don't know what kind of reviews this movie got but a movie that i thought was very good & nobody ever mentions it as a good movie is 'the spanish prisoner" with steve martin. it's a movie about con-artists & done very well.

Directed by David Mamet, who did House of Games (mentioned earlier in the thread). I think his films aren't "popular" because he writes dialogue like his movies are plays... Because plays are what he's most famous for and used to.
