- From Dusk till Dawn
I agree with most of the titles on this list but one: "From Dusk Till Dawn".
I always saw this movie as Tarantino's parody of himself and the commercial crap Hollywood's been selling us all these years. I see it as huge slap in the face for Hollywood. What's wrong with that? :)
What I liked about From Dusk Till Dawn was the juxtaposition between the violence in the first half and the second half. In the first half, there isn't a whole lot of actual violence shown, but it is very brutal and made me cringe. Sort of a Resevoir Dogs kind of violence. In the second half, there is much more violence, but in the action movie kind of way, violence that I almost cheered for and was definitely amused by. It was just interesting to me to see the reactions to the different kinds of violence and how the glorified violence of the second half didn't bother me at all, but the more gritty violence in the first half really got to me.
How could you rent Tromeo and Juliet and not know it is going to be a piece of crap full of unneccessary nudity and violence and bad acting? (of course I've just admitted to seeing it... ugh)
