I was about to watch Francis Ford Coppola’s little-seen You’re a Big Boy Now on Criterion, but you’ve convinced me—I’m forking over the rental and watching True Romance.
Very curious to hear feedback from someone watching it for their first time ~30 years after its release. I watched it incessantly around the time it came out but haven't watched it much since - queued it up for the coming weeks.
“I’d love some pie.”
“-I think what you did was…
-What?
-I think what you did was…
-What?
-Was so romantic.
-Oh, baby, you’re bleeding.”
“Son of a bitch was right. She tastes like a peach.”
“You got me in a vendetta kind of mood. You can tell the angels in heaven you never seen evil so singularly personified as you did in the face of the man who killed you.”
One of my all-time favorite movies that not many of my friends have seen. What a shame ...

Loved it. Five quotes from the many:
“I’d love some pie.” “-I think what you did was… -What? -I think what you did was… -What? -Was so romantic. -Oh, baby, you’re bleeding.”
“Son of a bitch was right. She tastes like a peach.”
“You got me in a vendetta kind of mood. You can tell the angels in heaven you never seen evil so singularly personified as you did in the face of the man who killed you.”
“You’re so cool. You’re so cool. You’re so cool.”

Mine too.
I am not a big romance movie fan, but this is my favorite.
Characters you should hate but somehow want to succeed.
IMO one of Gary Oldmans best role.
How come the full movie is available at https://archive.org/details/true-romance-1993_202312? Did someone smuggle a pirated version into Archive, or is it legit?
There's a bunch of legally dubious things in Archive, so I wouldn't be surprised if it's one of them.
