TRUE ROMANCE (1993)
Summerization: Holy hell, where do you start with this movie? It's about a Bonnie and Clyde-esque couple who flee Buttfuck, Nowhere to Los Angeles with a suitcase full of cocaine that doesn't belong to them.
Why It's So Awesome: I'll start with the cast. Phenomenal. Christian Slater is at his most badass since Heathers. Patricia Arquette kicks more ass than she did in A Nightmare On Elm Street 3. Samuel L. Jackson and Gary Oldman are both around for about five minutes. The late, great Dennis Hopper and Christopher Walken share an awesome scene together. Brad Pitt has maybe four lines of dialogue. It's got James Gandolfini pre-Sopranos, Tom Siezmore, the late Chris Penn, the guy who played Balky on "Perfect Strangers" (remember that show?), and Michael Rapaport. Oh, and Val Kilmer plays Elvis. Pretty fucking rad.
There's brutal violence, awesome lines thrown out left and right, drug dealing on Viper (yes, the Six Flags roller coaster) and at its heart, it's really a funky story about love.
Quote: "You're so cool. You're so cool."
Best Time To Watch: Before going to the amusement park. Any afternoon, with that special someone.
Quality: 3 outa 3 yeyo filled suitcases.
