interesting to see your 90s.list because it's an era I don't see you talk about... I think there's 7 I've not seen, and although only FARGO and PULP FICTION made my top 25, I like all the other ones you listed that I've seen... good call on BAD LIEUTENANT is a fairly gut wrenching film. have you seen MS.45 also by Ferrara?

the funny thing is I've had the soundtrack CD album to ORIGINAL GANGSTAS pretty much since the film came out, but I've never seen the film.

MS.45? Sure have! LOVE it! It should have made my 80's list, dang it!

ORIGINAL GANGSTAS is a violent full speed ahead movie that should get more credit than it has.
