Inception and Memento are both really good films (I think Inception is a Great film), but largely because they are great ideas, well delivered. His Batman stuff is fine, but it didn't rock my world. Really, it seems pretty formulaic to me.

I think Tarantino's work is so distinctive and ambitious, that he sits above all others. Also, if you go through his films (Reservoir Dogs, Pulp Fiction, Jackie Brown, the two Kill Bills (so far, a third has been announced), Grindhouse and then Inglourious Basterds), it's hard to pick a weak spot apart from Grindhouse which was a disaster and an excuse to film the best car chase in modern history. But even that was ambitious if not well executed.

I'm tempted to put Danny Boyle up there, but almost exclusively for Trainspotting which is my favourite film of all time, and Sunshine which I thought was brilliant.

Perhaps Tarantino could be given the nod for best writer/director in the modern era?

Best director of his generation, by a country mile.


among the best for sure, but greatest of his generation? i think C Nolan would be up for the challenge

>> ^QuadraPixel:

Cool sift. Does anybody know what kind of car that was in the background? (probably Bill's car)


I *think* it's a DeTomaso Pantera. Not really sure though. Late sixties/early seventies.

I need to see Kill Bill 1 & 2 again...

Ok, I dunno what's happening here, but do me a favour and leave me out of it, Bone, thanks...

You have been awarded 1 Power Point for fixing the embed code for Dead Pool video Kill Bill - The Bride vs. Elle Driver. Thank you for helping maintain VideoSift's reliability.

That is some crazy stuff. Possibly gorier than Kill Bill or Grindhouse by the end of the movie.

I understand her point but this *is* Hollywood we're talking about. Comfortable, conservative, racist, sexist Hollywood.

And choose better examples to make your point - Shawshank Redemption? Really?

Anyway just off the top of my head I thought of a few films that passed (or I assume they do as I haven't seen them all - correction, I've not seen Charlie's Angels but have seen the rest)

Charlie's Angels
Ghostworld
Kill Bill 1 & 2
Monster (the one about Aileen Wuornos)
Thelma and Louise

So in the context I've described maybe things aren't as bad as you might be led to believe. I'd also imagine that some of her other examples (think I saw Jolie there as Lara Croft) would be seen as models of empowerment despite lacking dialogue with another woman.

Thought to myself, "hmmm, aging porn stars as wardens in a women's prison", interesting...

Then... You had me at "Told ya she didn't have a dick."




BONUS POINTS: For finding the Pussy Wagon from Kill Bill.

Thank you, Sir.

The Bride from Kill Bill. Definitely a psycho-killer but not a horror film.
