    Personally, no. That's only my opinion though. It's a film that many/some put on their lists as they think it's what they should do "cough-opens can of worms"

    I study cinematography so i'm interested to see if the godfather is as good as 'they' say

    for me, the best ever is the breaking bad series

    Everyone is different with Tarantino films. I'm not a massive fan of Kill Bill, the massive fight in the club at the end is the only decent bit imo, though it is ****ing awesome...

    If I had to rank Tarantino's films:

    1st: Pulp Fiction
    Joint 2nd: Inglorious Basterds and Django Unchained
    4th: Jackie Brown
    5th: Reservoir Dogs
    6th: Kill Bill Vol.1
    7th: Kill Bill Vol.2
    8th: Grindhouse (Death Proof/Planet Terror)

    A lot of people probably do, but surely the same can be said for almost every 'great' film? It is one of the best film series ever imo. The third one does let it down though.

    Forgot about Ronin <doh>

    Another great film.

    I think De Niro's personal best performance was in Taxi Driver though. That is a stunning film.

    Psycho
    North by Northwest
    Godfather 1 & 2
    Badlands
    The Deer Hunter
    Diner
    When Harry met Sally
    Shawshank Redemption
    Se7en
    Atonement

    psycho is one of the best films of all time, it really showed empathy for the victim and it bred dozens and dozens of films and spoofs , the greatest horror movie made in terms of it's effect

    And the fact they killed off the 'main' star Janet Leigh in the first 50 minutes of a 110 minute film. That was an almost insane thing to do back then, as she was the reason it got any attention at the time.

    I approve heartily of that list. Particularly pleased to see Diner in there.

    I thought the Hitchcock film with Antony Hopkins and Helen Mirren was pretty good.

    Some decent films out over the last year- Hitchcock, Django, Argo, Flight, Zero Dark Thirty. Anchorman II coming out this Winter.

    Since some of you haven't seen Pulp Fiction, here's a random clip... (I tried to pick one without any spoilers)

    speaking of hopkins

    the silence of the lambs is one of my favourites and one of the best examples of parallel editing there is!

    Yeah definitely one of my all time favourites and scandalously unknown to an awful lot of people!
