Quentin Tarantino's newest film Inglorious Basterds debuted at the Cannes Film Festival last week to mixed reviews. Tarantino's name got me thinking about one of my favorite gangsta-ish movies that few people know about (along with a few other lesser-known gems).
1. True Romance by Tarantino: This movie is the tits. While only the second film that the legendary director wrote, it may very well be his best. The cast is simply absurd, but I'll let the trailer do the talking. Before you go shell out 10 bucks to see this new flick, scope this ish out (it's definitely better). Oh, and yea, Christopher Walken is in it...
2. Miller's Crossing by the Coen Broskis: This is the Coen Brews 3rd film, and arguably one of their best. This film is some straight up gangster shit, prohibition-style, and includes stalwarts John Turturro (plays a Joo!) and Steve Buscemi. There's also a truly fine bidday in it. Definitely worth checking this dankness out.
3. Triad Election by Johnnie To: There may be a lot of subtitles and small phalluses in the film, but it makes Saw look like an episode of the Teletubbies. This is essentially the Asian Godfather. Aside from the gore, the film is legitimately good. Be warned: you're Asian fever will be tested. So if you're not too stoned to read subtitles, and you like seeing some bloodshed, peak this.
If you don't like gangster flicks, well, I don't like you. These films are all the bdc.
