I remember renting it at Blockbuster or some video store across the street from my house (which is now a place that sells cellphones in one half and the other is Little Caesar's). It was a fucking atom bomb to the head.<br /><br />In fact, you could say that my adolescent can be summed up in two parts. Before <i>Reservoir Dogs</i> where I just mostly watched family films and anything that only my parents approved with the exception of a few things like comedies that starred Eddie Murphy and Chevy Chase or <i>Rocky</i>. After <i>Reservoir Dogs</i> where I watched different things and came to the conclusion that the family films at the time like <i>Blank Check</i> and <i>North</i> were just really bad fucking films. At the same time, I was listening to music my parents didn't like at all. That film means a whole lot to me at the age of 13 and I'm glad it still holds up after all these years. thevoid99https://www.blogger.com/profile/03055459287396592446noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4784665635104956142.post-48550269857268403582015-10-31T16:00:14.865-04:002015-10-31T16:00:14.865-04:00Great list!

Love that you paid such close attention to the Keitel cigarette lighting scene. I always felt like that was awkward on Keitel's part. It seemed as if he just couldn't get it right, it was a long take, so Tarantino just made do with it. Now, I sort of see it as he is just so deep in conversation he has to stop and continue the argument to make really lighting up worth it. Thanks for that. It's so funny the little things like that in movies that stick with us. Really need to watch this soon. It's been too long.

I always felt Pulp Fiction was kind of overrated, but i can't get enough of Reservoir Dogs. Steve Buscemi and Michael Madsen are both fantastic here. I don't think anyone can ever listen to Stuck in the Middle With You without thinking of this movie anymore. It's been a while since the last time i have seen this now and this made me want to watch it again. But it's gonna have to wait till tomorrow because tonight i am watching Halloween as i do every year on this day. Henrik J.https://www.blogger.com/profile/12675100900709348187noreply@blogger.com
