I also love True Romance.
Written, of course, by Quentin Tarantino.
What do you love about True Romance?
I think sometimes, depending on the day, depending on the bar and how much alcohol I had, I will say True Romance is the best movie ever made.
And I think you said that what makes a great world is having a large cast of characters.
And I think that movie is a good example.
I mean, you have Christopher Walken with the sort of legendary super racist discussion.
Yeah, dream dad.
And just that interaction is legendary.
You got even Brad Pitt as a pothead on a couch.
Gary Oldman.
Gary Oldman.
Yeah, and you have, I mean, a real love story.
Like, a real, genuine, pure love can survive in any context.
The Elvis as a character.
It's kind of like a mini GTA type game.
Some of the same beauty, the comedy, the love.
What about greatest war film?
What would it be for you?
Yeah, of course, Apocalypse Now is this hallucinatory journey into darkness, I think, madness.
