Two amazing movies
Snatch could be my favorite flick - there is not a bad scene in that entire movie and every character is basically perfect.One amazing movie and one movie with a couple good scenes, surrounded by dreck.
Well, you've got homework to do - thank me later... Start with Snatch.Never seen either of them
never saw inglorious bastards.Never seen either of them
The movie theater scene? Could've been better, but still very enjoyable... The very end when Hans surrenders to Aldo, awesome ending.Snatch - 9
IB - 8 (wasn't crazy about the ending)
That's not a very high standard around hereYou could fill out an entire thread from Snatch quotes.
Agree in general, but I rate Snatch more highly. It is a Top 10 movie for me.Snatch 7
IB 5
IB felt too... QT.
I might have undersold Snatch... I always enjoy watching it and loved it the first time. Should be an 8- 8.5 for me. top 100 probably.Agree in general, but I rate Snatch more highly. It is a Top 10 movie for me.
8 and 5 for meSnatch 7
IB 5

have you seen previews for the new king arthur thing? holy wow- looks just terrible. great wall terrible.8 and 5 for me
What a disappointment Guy Ritchie became after so much promise.

top 100? I find it almost impossible to list 100 movies better.I might have undersold Snatch... I always enjoy watching it and loved it the first time. Should be an 8- 8.5 for me. top 100 probably.
This. Lock Stock > SnatchYou start with Lock, Stock & Two Smoking Barrels.
This is where I am at.Snatch - 9
IB - 8 (wasn't crazy about the ending)
This is fair. Loved both though.Basterds highs are higher than Snatch's. Snatch is more consistent. Snatch is the cooler movie.
boobsFeels like Snatch is teetering on greatness from the first round of ballots, but just short...
Curious from those 8-9 voters what the missing piece was that would bring it to a 10?
This is about my exact take. Snatch is more fun and consistent, but there is nothing in that movie that is near as good as the top 2-3 scenes in Basterds. Rated Snatch an 87 and Basterds an 8Basterds highs are higher than Snatch's. Snatch is more consistent. Snatch is the cooler movie.
Probably the best movie of the ones being discussed, though not quite as fun as Snatch.Layer Cake is also good if you're into Guy Ritchie type movies. It's the first time I saw Daniel Craig and it likely went a long way in landing him the 007 gig.
Jackie Brown might qualify. I also think it may be his best movie, for exactly that reason.Went with Snatch as a 9 but probably should've gone 10.
IB just a 7. I'd love to see a Tarantino movie where you can go more than three minutes without being forcefully reminded that you're watching a Tarantino movie.
Jackie Brown is the last of Tarantino's films I can say I truly liked. I like Reservoir Dogs the best of his catalog.Jackie Brown might qualify. I also think it may be his best movie, for exactly that reason.
I went 8, 7 but this is a good post, especially about the IB endingSnatch - 9
IB - 8 (wasn't crazy about the ending)
Goodposting, basically there's Before Jackie and After Jackie in his career...I haven't loved anything he's done AJ.Jackie Brown might qualify. I also think it may be his best movie, for exactly that reason.

JB has been on a lot lately on HBO.
Like JB a lot.
The question remains, I'm just curious as to why a 9, but not 10?fantasycurse42 said:Feels like Snatch is teetering on greatness from the first round of ballots, but just short...

I'd expect most people just don't dole out 10's very easily. Its a good comedy with eccentric characters, stylish violence and that hip quirky fast-paced dialogue everyone loves. But its not a 10. You have to leave some room for the gap to Godfather and Apocalypse Now, or the rating scale becomes meaningless.The question remains, I'm just curious as to why a 9, but not 10?

I am sure a big part is that people's 9s and 10s differ. People have some odd rating systems around these parts, and you didn't specify what a 10 is. For me 10 = best/favorite all time movie. 9 = excellent movie maybe in the tops of the decade 8= a top movie from that year 7 = good movie that I would watch multiple times, but not best of the year material (which is why I voted Snatch a 7).The question remains, I'm just curious as to why a 9, but not 10?
In the comments multiple people note voting 9, but think it might've been a 10.
Fair enough, I'd put a 10 as one of your top 10 favorites.I am sure a big part is that people's 9s and 10s differ.
