From Dusk till Dawn is an unhinged, tequila-soaked fever dream that spits in the face of predictability. It’s one of the last great practical effects horror films, a masterclass in tonal whiplash, and a love letter to both crime cinema and schlocky creature features.

True Romance matters precisely because it's the antithesis of safe Hollywood romance. It shows love as dangerous, impulsive, fucked-up, and yet oddly sincere. It’s the film that acknowledges love isn’t noble; it’s reckless, stupid, and sometimes fatal. And somehow, you root for it anyway.

There is nothing glamorous about Reservoir Dogs. It doesn’t have the grand, operatic feel of The Godfather or the easy comedic timing of early 90s capers. Instead, it’s the feeling of being trapped in a crumbling warehouse with people who might shoot first and never bother asking questions.
