@beastmaster, that is effing awesome.  Don't know if they've been mentioned yet, but the Showgun Assassin moves (the first two in particular).  A major inspiration for Tarantino's Kill Bill.

the inspiration for the above movie was the fleeing of the cage after the Anderson fight.

@havok yes, the sig is three amigos.

Anyone who hasn't seen Pulp Fiction, I don't know what to say to you. And I fear that at this point so many other movies have tried to replicate its style that it might not even seem original anymore. But still, you should watch it.

Here's a good one if you like military/history stuff. Very tightly made. Watch it with VOLUME (it won academy award for sound editing for good reason).



As for Gladiator, I liked it a lot when it first came out, but now I look at it as relatively generic.  Whoever said Terms of Endearment... lol it was a good movie.  As for Robocop, one of my favorites.  There's a common thread between Robocop, Total Recall, and Starship Troopers, and that's the demented Paul Verhoeven.

People who said Event Horizon and Sunshine... both started cool, but both kind of fell apart in the 2nd half, I thought.

I'll watch pretty much any science fiction.  I recently checked out "Pandorum" ... not on my favorites list but I'll gladly watch junk like that.

I was really pumped for Sunshine, but it fell way short of my expectations.

Pandorum just got ridiculous, even with Cung Le in it.

Oh Pandorum....I suffered through that just to watch Cung Le act... not worth it, hahah. 

And yeah everyone should see pulp fiction, it's about as good as a movie gets. Speaking of Tarantino, anyone hear about the new movie he's working on? Django Unchained is it's name I believe. It sounds like a really cool concept. I'm excited.
