Such a great movie! Netflix has been upping its game a little lately as far as older solid movies.

this is probably the only major movie that makes people go "WHAT!? YOUVE NEVER SEEN THAT?!"

Excited to cross it off the list

Not bad but IMO, the Sicilians story/ eggplant scene in the trailer home with Walken and Hopper is the best.

In my top 10 scenes for all time, just amazing writing and then two heavyweights going back and forth

Lot of great acting performances whether they were the main cast or not: Slater, Arquette, Gary Oldman, Brad Pitt, Walken, Hopper, Gandolfini, Val Kilmer.

I love this movie.

It's crazy to be able to add to this list:
Tom Sizemore
Bronson Pinchot
Sam L. Jackson
Michael Rapaport
Chris Penn

I'm sure there are more that I can't remember

Absolutely love True Romance

First screenplay Quentin Tarantino ever wrote. Always wonder what the movie would’ve been like if he didn’t sell it and had directed it himself instead.

Can't believe I had never seen this movie until last night. How did I miss it?
Maybe beause I was doing other stuff in 1993? Maybe because of the title - I had also opted out of Princess Bride because of the movie title. But how did it slip for so long? It should have been in my "seen" bucket for decades.

Anyway, great timecapsule movie. Totally wiffed on Val Kilmer's role. The credits have him as "The Mentor" I was all, who TF was the mentor. Had to google it. He was the spirit of Elvis. Now I want to rewatch to see if I can detect Val in Elvis.

The Gary Oldman part was cringe, imo. It walked a line between parody and trying to be authentic and missed both.

It was very much a Tarantino written movie. The violence, the dialogue, all typical Tarintino, but because it wasn't directed by him, doesn't feel like a Tarintino movie.

Overall, the movie was awesome, and wish I hadn't waited decades to see it.
