A New York police detective (Albert Finney) assigned to a string of murders eventually learns that the suspects are a clan of shape shifters who can transform into wolves.
This stylish mix of police procedural and werewolf thriller makes the most of its New York locations (that early 80s South Bronx urban decay really shines through!) and it was also one of the first movies to use thermal imaging to show things from the wolf's eye view.
The second one is better (or even magnificent) but the first one is also good.
). However, let's acknowledge that these movies aren't on QT's list because they're better films than, say, MEMENTO or NO COUNTRY FOR OLD MEN or MULHOLLAND DRIVE or any great 21st century foreign film besides BATTLE ROYALE or [...]. They're on the list because Linklater and Roth are Tarantino's friends and he felt obligated to include them, and he has a long history of trying to get in Sophia Coppola's knickers. (Again, no slight towards Coppola - MARIE ANTOINETTE might be on my own Top 25 of the century.......)
