I don’t always agree with QT about certain movies… but man, I could listen to him talk about them forever. The dude knows & loves cinema. 🎥 🍿 👍🏼

The production value of this video is off the charts.

I think I could listen to Quentin Tarantino talk about movies all day long.

I freaking love Payback and watched it constantly as a kid

I’m not having that about John Vernon. He’s great in Point Blank, but I loved that whole movie. Just watch Vernon’s performance in Charlie Varrick starring Walter Matthau. The way he manipulates the bank manager into suicide, leaving it just unclear enough that you can’t be sure 100% if he knew he was forcing him to kill himself or not. It’s a master class in subtlety and yet focussed malevolence.

Parker sounds like James Caan's character in Thief.

Manhunter (1986) - that was a good 80s movie.

The Outfit is one of my all time favourite movies. Still nice that two of its lead stars are still alive today.

Point Blank certainly doesn't look like TV. It has a dreamy style and the music is foreboding. The Outfit has a gritty style. They're very different.

This just gets better as it goes on ! Seriously QT should have been made A HEAD OF STUDIO right now when the industry needs a total overhaul. This series of commentaries are pure masterpieces. Keep it coming that just made my week ✒️🎬🎥💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼

Thank you bringing my teen memories to me. I watched 90% of these movies. That’s the time when movies were made intelligently.

Quinten needs to teach film making. The way he dissects film is just incredible. And horrifyingly honest.

NOPE. I love every minute of Point Blank

please keep doing them, they're awesome

Man, this was a superior piece of work!!

I came for The Outfit and Point Blank. For all of the others, I didn't bring my notebook.

Point Blank that's a cool movie.

you do an excellent job of filling the video with relevant & enlightening visuals. this is a real labor of love. i hope you do more. you so cool!

I used to be a film reviewer and listening to this audio version of Tarantino's essays, I have to give him credit . Quentin is a screenwriter not a film writer and film critic but he provides a pretty good examination of movies . It is decent film criticism . Clearly Tarantino is more film goer than film reviewer in terms of his mindset. However, He has clear points of view and makes cogent arguments. His promotion of the 1973 film The Outfit here is a worthy effort to resurrect an old, forgotten film. I don't agree with him about Point Blank. It certainly wasn't 60s TV .Tarantino doesn't mention that Boorman shot and structured this film in a very different, often flashback driven elliptical style. It was a different kind of crime film in terms of editing, sound and photography . Point Blank was subversive for a major studio film at the time. Also Bill Murray and Chevy Chase played very different personas in movies. Chevy played protagonists who thought they were better than anyone else in the movie and thus it was realistic that he didn't change much in his movies. Bill played guys who didnt think they were better than anyone else but not any worse. Usually he could change in movies because he was flexible and he was so good at making light of the uptight, often tight assed men around him.
