    "True Romance"

    I really like "Dogs", but "True Romance" is just a tighter, more professionally directed movie. I know Quentin wrote both, but I always considered Tony Scott a more visually interesting director. Also much cleaner with his edits, which has always been one of Quentins weak points...............though he's gotten better with it over the years.

    Agreed 100%.

    True Romance is my pick as well.

    A closer comparison might be "True Romance" and "Pulp Fiction".

    Ironic in a way that Tony Scott really was perhaps the best "pulp" director around. He just happened to do it on a bigger budget then most, so he never got the accolades of the art house critics.

    True Romance over Pulp Fiction.

    I think Pulp Fiction is overrated.

    I'd take Jackie Brown over Pulp Fiction.

    Reservoir Dogs easily. True Romance was okay, not good, just okay.

    True Romance has mad rewatchability value over Dogs. Loved all those intro scenes talking about Sonny Chiba films.
