I agree :D

I voted for it although I've only seen it once and thought it was just ok. Don't understand the hype for it. :shrug:

Although it did spawn one of my all-time favorite gifs that I use all the time.

That might be one that deserves a rewatch for you. There's a lot going on in that film and I know a lot of people thought they were getting a heist film and that's not what Reservoir Dogs is.

I've never seen Mighty Aphrodite, but I actually just found it on laserdisc at Savers last week.

Mighty Aphrodite is great, watch out it ASAP!

I will try. I have a certain indifference to Woody Allen and his films.

[Mattrick]

Reservoir Dogs is at the bottom of my Tarantino list...well, excluding Death Proof

That still makes it pretty good.

For sure. It's basically to Tarantino was Rushmore was to Wes Anderson.
