Tiger Ryno Deare St. Ull with ma fambly Member since Feb 2007 10454 posts	True Romance (Posted on 11/6/09 at 8:56 a.m.) Best movie I've seen in the past 20 years. I absolutely love this movie. They did an amazing job with the ensemble casting: The leads were just ok with Slater and ARquette, but the supporting cast was perfecto. Walken Hopper Oldman Pinchot Rubineck Sizemore Penn Rappaport Pitt Gandolfini Sam Jackson There are 3-4 scenes in this movie that absolutely kill. 1. The Drexel scene 2. Hopper/Walken 3. Arquette fight with GAndolfini 4. Elevator scene with Slater and Pinchot. Tons of greatness in this movie.

Oldman is too old to play him now but I really think that could have been a great movie

Just did the writing and Tony Scott executied it nicely. Might have been a cool crime/gang movie to do a prequel focused on Drexel. I think with the amount of makeup he wore for that role he could still pull it off.

Washingtontigerlee Virginia - from Shreveport Member since Jul 2008 39 posts	re: True Romance (Posted on 11/6/09 at 10:57 a.m. to Tiger Ryno) walken hopper scene might be my all time favorite. i really just love the overall feel of True Romance. Deals with a lot of serious shit, but you never feel like it takes itself too seriously. great flick

You're gonna make me finally get around to watching this fricker. Don't bother. It's totally unwatchable bilge. One of THE worst I've ever seen. Although if you are a 17 year old male full of piss and vinegar, you could potentially like it. Truly truly awful flick. Literally no redeeming value whatsoever.

Were you on the shitter or something? Seriously, Jersey...this is totally shocking.

This movie was billed to me for YEARS as the be all end all. I was shocked when I watched it how terrible it was. Truly shocked. The only other movie in recent memory that I can think of that was intended as a serious effort that was literally zero stars was Signs.

constant cough Lafayette Member since Jun 2007 7726 posts	re: True Romance (Posted on 11/6/09 at 1:32 p.m. to Tiger Ryno) I thought it was good but not great. They've been making couple on the run movies since the 30s and I didn't see anything in this one that made it stand out from the rest. This post was edited on 11/6 at 1:36 p.m.
