I would like to take a moment to thank those Figures of Greatness over at the
Duece:Grindhouse Cinema Database. Besides being one of the greatest websites in the world of cult cinema, they are responsible for one of my newest and possibly most ambitious blogging goals to date. Yesterday the fine folks over at the Duece thought it would be a great idea to tweet Quentin Tatantino's list of his top 20 Grindhouse movies, one by one.
They aren't the only ones who thought it was a great idea.
Upon seeing this Holy Grail of Lists, I decided that it was part of my calling in life, besides being a amoral drunkard, to use this list to my advantage. I am going to watch and review every movie on this list, in no particular order. Thankfully, I've watched a couple, and maybe wrote a bit about them, so it should make my task that much easier. I don't know how long it will take me, but I will make sure I place a special marker in the title of each review to let all the little people in the blogosphere(myself included) when that days writings are going to be of the "special" variety.
I present you the list, as bestowed upon the rest of the world yesterday by our Grindhouse Gods over at
The Deuce.

ReplyDeleteI've only seen 10 of these, to my shame. I will definitely see the rest. I've always wanted to see Five Fingers of Death, but it's eluded me.
ReplyDeleteMy score is 10 and 2/3, not having seen Streetfighter's Last Revenge. I look forward to enlightening me about what I've missed so far.
ReplyDeleteI've got 9 and 2/3rds on Street Fighter. Where do you think Sister Street Fighter counts in all this?
