Know what's funny? Two of my favorite movies ever I had never heard of before my buddy asked the clerk to pick a couple of flicks out for us. So when we got home before I even read the liner notes, he popped in Reservoir Dogs. We were both WTF is going on here and blown away. Then watched Robert Altman's The Player and was blown away again then finished the best Sunday movie day ever.

I've never heard of The Player. Reservoir Dogs though, that's a heck of a movie to get into not knowing anything about it.

Oh my. That's another opening scene that must be seen. The longest single camera tracking shot in movie history I believe. Just outpacing the opening of Orson Welles' Touch of Evil, which Fred Ward mentions during the scene. The whole movie is very meta and hilarious.

It sounds interesting. I might hunt it down.
