True Romance! What a movie - full with so many great scenes - Gary Oldman goes rasta, Tony Soprano gets his head smashed in, Brad Pitt lounging on the sofa asking for some cleaning products, Slater confessing he would fuck Elvis and of course the Walken/Hopper standoff.

Oooh, can't have this! I appreciate your explanation but you guys are the only people I think I have ever heard of who don't really like Shawshank. I thought it was like Jaws, just universal love. Don't tell me you don't like Jaws either. I actually don't want to know.

So movies should be struck off this list because they are popular? Maybe there should be more Iranian movies and Swedish miserablism in this list then.
