I thought most people like Jackie Brown outside of a small minority of idiots.

It's the worst movie he's made. It's up there with Basterds.

This wasn't bad at all and I got the TV show vibe from it.
There's bits and pieces in the movie from about a dozen episodes of the show. It's a modern interpretation of the series made for the big screen, but it definitely has the same dna as the tv show. I never got why people didn't like it, it's a fantastic movie.

Coen Brothers - Hudsucker Proxy
Came here to post this as well.
It's almost like it has been forgotten.
Everyone says they came to like the Coens because of Blood Simple, not me....didn't understand the hype. But loved the whimsical artistry of Hudsucker....that's the movie that made me watch them.

I think it’s an ok movie, but there was a time when it was ‘cool’ to act like it was Tarantino’s best movie, and it just isn’t, and it’s not even close really.
It’s probably my least favorite of his, but it’s not a bad movie. I just don’t think it’s that great.

Agreed with the Game for Fincher, but zodiac is one of my favorites.
I just watched After Hours. It felt like an alternate universe version of Eyes Wide Shut lol.
The killing is excellent

Probably one of the greatest car chases / heists in film history where they are going down the LA interstate against the flow of traffic. Also one of the better deconstructions of the buddy cop film out there with a great cast including Willem Dafoe as the counterfeiter, Dean Stockwell as a scuzzy lawyer, and Jane Leeves (Daphne from Frazier) as the girl who has a threesome with Dafoe and his girlfriend.

Close Encounters doesn’t hold up IMHO. It suffers from so many films swiping from it that it doesn’t have much appeal left.
Granted, I didn’t see it until WELL after release because I’d heard the VHS special edition available in the 80s and early 90s was crap and that was the only one out there for about 15 years.

Also Sorcerer by Friedkin

John Carpenter - Prince Of Darkness
While it gets some attention, it clearly comes in well behind Halloween, Escape From New York, and The Thing, if not Assault On Precinct 13, The Fog, and They Live as well.
It is a very weird film with a mix of science and religion as the Catholic Church finds a device sealed from within hidden by a high ranking cleric and brings in a bunch of professors and grad students of different disciplines to try and study it.
shite goes sideways.
Katheryn Bigelow - Strange Days
This is a cyberpunk story in which Lenny (Ralph Feinnes) is a futuristic drug dealer and ex-LAPD in the days leading up to January 1, 2000.
He sells “SQUID” clips that let you experience everything felt by the person who recorded it while living in a Los Angeles on the edge of tearing itself apart over various tensions and has military checkpoints throughout it.
I find this to be a lot of fun but I am also big into cyberpunk stuff like this, Robocop, etc.
It also had what I consider to be one of the best teaser trailers of all time as Lenny does his “SQUID” dealer pitch to the audience of what they could experience if they buy from him.

Maybe it is just me but I preferred Wages Of Fear to Sorcerer.
The long buildups to how all four drivers ended up in Bumfrick didn’t work as well as just having them all there then jockeying to get the gig so they could leave IMHO.
The actual driving scenes kick arse. But the build to even getting to the hiring of the drivers just takes forever:
