Reservoir Dogs is great. #8 on my list, definitely deserves its top ten spot. It was never going top beat Pulp Fiction in this list, but to me it's the better movie. Pulp Fiction is flashier, but I just really, really liked Reservoir Dogs. It's got tension, interesting (if psychotic in some cases) characters, and it doesn't have the tendency to ramble of some (all) of Tarantino's later films. And whoever said it hasn't got cool, you're so wrong.
Titanic isn't on this list because not enough people put it high enough up on their lists, if they included it at all. This really shouldn't come as a surprise. I thought there was a slight possibility it might make the lower end on the list, but it was never going to be high up. It might have been one of the big blockbusters of the 90s, but that's not what people are voting for here. Don't get me wrong, I actually like Titanic. Not in the way I liked it when I was sixteen and actually took it seriously, but I do still have some affection for it and I think the detail that went into it and the underwater scenes especially are impressive. But it still didn't make my final 25. And if you haven't noticed that most people on this forum think Titanic is something to scoff at, where have you been? I know it's hard to believe that people think Titanic is nonsense and yet manage to vote for Braveheart with a straight face, but it's suffered a backlash in recent years of, um, titanic proportions.
