In addition to "Reservoir Dogs" I have that on DVD but I can't bear the scene with the cop being tortured. That's just too over the edge for me so I "FF" past it. Otherwise, good film with some great scenes. My favorite scene is where everybody sits around at the breakfast place (at the very beginning) and get into this big argument over tipping. I like all the Taratino films. As well as those by the Coen brothers, especially "Fargo" and "Big Lebowski."
I don't watch a lot of films. I hate the "formula" films, you know, the ones with the obligatory car chases, overblown action scenes, and moronic dialogue. But the ones I like, I can watch over and over. They include:
Shawshank Redemption
Godfather (Parts 1 & 2)
Amadeus
Braveheart
Anything by Monty Python
Blazing Saddles
Patton
Anything directed by Stanley Kubrick
Deliverance
Cool Hand Luke
It's A Mad, Mad, Mad World
Anything with the Marx Brothers

I bought "A Big Fat Greek Wedding" Valentine's Day weekend to watch with my wife. I knew it was a "chick flick" but the movie got a lot of rave reviews and was built up as one of the best films of 2002. I must say I was underwhelmed as the movie was rather flat and predictable. My wife thought it was great however. Must be a girl thing.

I rented the Ten Year Anniversary edition of "Reservoir Dogs" from Netflix last week. It was only the second or third time I've seen the film (and first time in OAR), but the sound and picture were cleaned up ALOT from what I remember. I love cops & robbers/gangsters storylines, and I thought this was a great flick in that genre. The disc also has some different takes of the "Stuck in the Middle with You" scene where the ear is shown straight on. It looks terribly fake, and I think Tarantino made a good decision by having the viewer just imagine what was going on on the other side of the cops head instead of showing it directly.
BTW, the movie got its name because when, as a video store clerk, he suggested "Au revoir les enfants" to a customer, the customer replied "I don't want no Reservoir Dogs!"
