I Actually Saw This Flick For The First Time In 1993.
I Was 13-Years-Old.
My Father Had Rented It, And I Decided To Stay-Up-Late And Watch It In Secret.
After Everyone Else Was Asleep, I Popped-It-On In My Room And…
…Honestly…
…Was Totally Blown Away.
I’d Never Seen…
…Nor Heard…
…Anything Quite Like It, Before.
I Remembering Going To School (Jr. High) The Next Day…
…Talking About It With My Friends AND Others…
…Discovering Quickly I Was The Only One Of Us To Have Seen It.
That Simply Added o The Excitement Over The Whole Situation.
Knowing That I Was Sooooo Coooool To Have Seen This Flick (Though I Wasn’t Supposed To Have Seen It) That None Of My Buds Had Had The Chance To Give A Look See Of Any Kind.
That’s Right…
…Sooooo Coooool, Ineed.

I Was The Only One Of Us To Have Witnessed First Hand The Gritty Wonder That Is The Fi;m…
“RESERVOIR DOGS“
…And The Introduction Of…
QUENTIN TARANTINO
…To My (And Everyone Else’s) Humble Little World.
Other Flicks Would Follow.
“PULP FICTION“
“JACKIE BROWN“
“KILL BILL“
…But None Had The Impact On Me That…
“RESERVOIR DOGS“
…Had On Me.
It Stands Out.
It Stands Alone.
It STILL Stands As MY FAVORITE Flick From…
QUENTIN TARANTINO
.Period Period.
The Blu-ray Treatment Is Breathtakingly Awesome…
…And Well Worth The Time (And Money) Invested In It.

I’m a big Tarantino fan and every time I watch one of his movies it often changes my mind about which is my favourite but Reservoir Dogs is always the one that comes back to the top of my list. Like you say, it is nothing fancy, no big set pieces, no huge explosions or anything… just sharp dialogue, fantastic characters and incredible acting. Will forever be one of the greatest movies ever made!
I first saw Reservoir Dogs when I was 13 too. That was too young an age for me as I was freaked out by the violence but when I saw it when I was older I loved it. While Pulp Fiction is my favorite by Tarantino, this comes second. Nice review.
One of my all time favorite films. After watching this movie, it’s impossible to ever listen to the song, “Stuck in the Middle With You” by Steeler’s Wheel without recalling the brutal scene in which it is used in this film.
“Reservoir Dogs” is also the name of my fantasy baseball teams, and has been for around a dozen years now. Yes, I’m a hopeless geek.
I fell in love with Quentin after viewing this movie. I’ve dug every single damn one of his movies. I’m glad to watch them over and over. So psyched about his new flick coming out called Django. I hope the man finally catches a break and wins an Oscar, that he so deserves.
I really enjoyed this movie as well. I’m NOT a Tarantino fan (I thought Pulp Fiction was overrated and I didn’t care for Kill Bill), so this is the only one of his movies that really sticks out for me.
I’m All Kicked-Back, Watching This True Classic, Enjoying Myself A Bundle!
What Are You Up To, Tonight?
Anything Fancy?
Nah?
Good.
How About A Flick?!? 😀

I’ve probably mentioned it before, but the restaurant scene is my favourite part of the whole movie.

I’ve never seen this one, Brad…(or Pulp Fiction…what’s wrong with me?) I have seen Jackie Brown – and thought it was really cool.
