From 1993, directed by Tony Scott, written by Quentin Tarantino, True Romance stars Christian Slater and Patricia Arquette with an ensemble cast; the film contains notable performances by some seasoned actors along with early appearances by later stars. It is billed as a "love story", albeit an unconventional one, as the plot revolves around drugs and violence. Clarence Worley (Slater) and Alabama Whitman (Arquette) attempt to start a new life for themselves using cocaine stolen from Alabama's former pimp and find themselves on the run from the Mafia, ending in a dramatic double-crossing when the police get involved.
True Romance was a breakthrough of sorts for Tarantino. It was his first screenplay, and he had hoped to direct the movie himself, but ended up selling the script.
Also notable is the film's score, by Hans Zimmer: its leitmotif is based on a familiar piece by Carl Orff.

budzossays...^ I agree, True Romance doesn't have any non-classic scenes, nevermind any bad ones (even though it's an unabashed adolescent male fantasy). That being said this is my least favourite scene and I'm not gonna vote for it. haha.
12401says...i love the films score, Hans Zimmer is a genius.
