    I suppose I could I just google that

    But I won't

    So any thoughts on movies with log drawn-out monologues and half decent violence, gun battles etc?

    is that the one with the move-moving scene? if so the only really interesting thing about the movie is the tactics they use, and Sarah Silverman getting cranked inside the first 5 minutes

    Yeah I barely remember it except Sarah Silverman getting decked right in her jedi nose. Man I wanted to fuck her so bad when I was a kid

    yeah I dunno why I found her attractive, not my type at all, obnoxious and when she got naked in that prison movie she was built like a fridge

    Something about a neurotic hot jedi turns me on. I don’t really have a type just anyone not unattractive, and she does it for me. But I do find her cute (circa 20 years ago)

    True Romance is a good one, it’s written by Tarantino but directed by someone else so. Not sure if you’ve seen it but it’s good. Pretty sure it’s his first official credit on a Hollywood film even before Reservoir Dogs.

    I just like a story about a guy who falls in love with a crazy bitch and they go on an insane crime spree

    I just looked up Natural Born Killers as well and he wrote it. I'm gonna recommend Nowhere 1997.

    Almost forgot Submarine 2010. There's a lot of autistic dialogue and it's based on a book.

    Clint Eastwood's classic Dollars trilogy movies are all "Tarantino before Tarantino".

    Like the iconic opening scene in Basterds is obviously heavily inspired by this scene for example:

    Every artist takes inspiration from people that came before them. He copied tons of shit from lots of different genres, sometimes shot for shot basically. But he also made it his own, there’s not another director that has his same style. It’s like you watch a marvel movie or some other crap these days and it could have been directed by any generic hack. You see a Tarantino film and you know who made it.

    If you disagree it’s because you have no sense of culture, you’re an unrefined mud monkey that should go back to the rice paddy

    Kinda this. I mean nothing wrong with taking inspiration or paying homage, and there are better reasons to not love Tarantino. But his films are like obscenely heavy in reference to other film, spaghetti westerns and HK film chief among them. But then the stuff he references isn’t really a lot like his own stuff, eg go watch any classic Eastwood flick and you’ll get 30 second shots with no dialogue that T-dog wouldn’t touch with a 10 foot pole except as a gag. You can look up all the references in his films and end up with a pretty good list is classic cinema but isn’t not going to be what you’re looking for.

    Boondocks saints is a good rec.

    Classic mob films are probably pretty good, good fellas, casino, godfather of course. The departed. None of them have the constant intertextuality but the same kinda snappy dialogue, crime focus, etc.

    ichi the killer is in the same space.

    Arguably mumblecore took some cues from Tarantino, but that’s getting kinda far from the formula.
