Ok, I think I got it right this time.  As a sentimental choice (and the Madsen factor) I would go with Reservoir Dogs as it's one of my faves of all time. But for the poll I chose Heat. Great plot, great characters, action, awesome cast. Just an all-around good movie. My second would be Ocean's Eleven. As always, if you dont' see your favorite here, feel free to add it. |

I'll vote after I read Resivior Doga and Heat. After you read them? And what exactly is "Resivior Doga"? Really, frankenjohn. If you must drink you should refrain from posting. Just messin' with ya. ;D This is one of my favorite subgenres of movies, so kudos to you LDG! All are fine films, but I'm gonna go with RESERVOIR DOGS. Great heist movie and we don't actually get to see the heist. The irony. p.s. I took care of that aborted thread for you.  |

Heat, no doubt a great Heist flick & gets my vote.. than so is Heist with Gene Hackman.

And what exactly is "Resivior Doga"? It's the GANDHI sequel where Gandhi goes around robbing various places and killing various people. ;D |

I went with Italian Job just because that is the movie I remember the most. I saw Heat and don't remember one thing about it. I have to admit though...and here come the movie police... I have never seen Reservoir Dogs. I guess it's worth the rental? |

The Movie Police are doing a door to door search in your neighborhood!  Seriously though, did you like PULP FICTION & JACKIE BROWN? Please tell me you've at least seen PULP FICTION.  Anyway, if you liked those by Tarantino, I don't see any reason why you wouldn't like RESERVOIR DOGS. Besides, how else are you ever going to completely understand Living Dead Girl's Michael Madsen obsession? |

The second on my list would be The Italian Job, though - what an energetic movie! And only after these three - Reservoir Dogs; a great movie as well, of course. |

Yes, I have seen Pulp Fiction and Jackie Brown! ;D And I wondered where LDG's Madsen fetish stemmed from...I will look for Reservoir Dogs this weekend. |

Speakin' of Reservoir Dogs , does anyone own the latest release from Artisan Home Entertainment? I still have the first release from Live Home Entertainment & havn't upgraded cause.. well they only had the Michael Madsen cover when I went into the store. ;D No, seriously you think its worth a double-dip?

The irony. p.s. I took care of that aborted thread for you. Yeah, I've always loved heist movies too. I didn't think we'd ever had a fave heist movie poll. Thanx for taking care of my goof....I was having a REALLY bad day that day. |

The first time I saw him on screen in that movie & the rest is history. ;D Oh yeah, check out my fan site if you haven't already. (That was a shameless plug... ) It was made w/ much love & obsession. |

My vote has to be da Reservoir Dogs, it was just too cool of a movie, the arguement over which Mr. Color they wanted to be was great, Mr.Pink! ha!
But I have to say Heist is one of my most hated movies of all time! I'm sorry. There were enough very bad Clichés and terrible lines to make me sick. They thought they were making witty/intelligent dialogue, somebody made a mistake. Here are some of the most infamous lines!
Jimmy: So, this Joe, is he cool?
Pinky: My motherfucker is so cool, when he goes to bed, sheep count him.
Bergman: Everybody needs money. That's why they call it money.
Bobby Blane: You know why the chicken crossed the road? Because the road crossed the chicken.
Joe Moore: You screw me on Wednesday, you screw me on Friday. I gotta go, I got my picture on a cereal box.
Joe Moore: She could talk her way out of a sunburn.
(not that bad if Rebecca Pidgeon's character hadn't been so boring)
Bergman: Ain't you a piece of work?
Fran Moore: Yeah. I came all the way from China in a matchbox.
To me it isn't just the lines, but they way they were performed, I had a hard time not falling to sleep...

I have the Madsen cover...big suprise there I think it's worth getting. Lots of cool extras & behind the scenes & interviews. It was a big upgrade for me b/c up until then all I had was my old ragged worn-out VHS copy that I bought blind after seeing Pulp Fiction...I figured any Tarantino movie would be worth buying. |
