I agree with you wholeheartedly. True Romance is a truly great movie. I couldn’t count how many times I’ve watched the Sicilians scene, and the credit for that has to be shared equally between Denis Hopper for his monologue and Quentin Tarantino for the writing. And Brad Pitt’s part, which is essentially just a bit part, is unforgettable.
I think the only point I’d disagree on is who won the movie. I’d give it to Tony Scott. He is a vastly underrated director and it’s a tragedy that he took his own life a few years ago. Mention the name Scott to a moviegoer and the automatic response will be to think of Ridley; but his brother Tony’s films are every bit as impressive. Top Gun, Days of Thunder, True Romance, Crimson Tide, The Fan, Man on Fire, Deja Vu (the opening scene, with the tourist boat blowing up, is unforgettable), The Taking of Pelham 123 (great remake of a great original), and my personal favourite, The Hunger, with David Bowie and Catherine Deneuve as vampires and the best lesbian seduction scene of all time between Catherine Deneuve and Susan Sarandon.
