Magic Marmalade 20th Dec 2023		:) Indeed, will have to make a list sometime of my favourite 90s movies! Meantime, enjoy:



alexlincs ● 19th Dec 2023		@Magic Marmalade I couldn't agree more. Tony Scott reels in the pretentiousness that plagues Tarantino's later films. I still think he has the midas touch, but his latest films are just way too long. I also agree it's one of the best 90s films.



Magic Marmalade 19th Dec 2023		Rated 10/10 "You're so cool... You're so cool... You're so cool..." I think this is actually one of my favourite "Tarantino" movies now, definitely my favourite Tony Scott movie, and certainly one of the top ten nineties movies for me. I've watched it so many times since release, and it just keeps getting better every time. Of course, at least half of this would be "cancelled" according to today's standards of social acceptability, especially the sublime Walken / Hopper scene, but that's where the authenticity of the characters lies. Not sure if this is one that Tarantino has now "disowned" (not being 100% him), but I believe he is still pretty pissed about Natural Born Killers, in any case, far be it for me to advise a movie making God on movie taste, but he would be dead wrong on both counts. For his brilliant, and uniquely Tarantino style, shone through the prism of Scott and Stone's (respective) directorial, and movie making talents offers something unique, and a more magical mixture than he alone could achieve, in this case. I know he wanted the story structure for this to be different, in order to leave questions that are only later, more progressively revealed as the movie goes on, but this linear structure works just fine for me. Following Clarence and Alabama (Slater and Arquette) as they meet, and fall in love after a whirlwind "Romance" (Clarence aptly Surnamed: Worley) and marriage, which opens a mafia / drug world / gangland sized can of worms, before venturing off on on a road trip / scam / gambit, and meeting a brilliant array of characters along the way, is an absolutely exhilarating ride, and a joy to behold. And as well as the hauntingly memorable theme by Hans Zimmer, which sweetens the the whole affair, there's an excellent Chris Isaak tune on the end credits to send you away happy: Two Hearts. (This song is now burned into the most difficult to reach parts of my brain at present, having watched it again! :) A stunner... And a must see. 1 person found this review helpful. ✔︎ Helpful Review?
