True Romance vs Boondock Saints
Having discussions at work on which movie is "better". Wanted to get some IMDB user feedback on this topic. If possible indicate your age range (teens, 20s, 30s, ...). Thanks!
shareI've never seen Boondock Saints but this is still better

If I had to watch between BS or TR for the rest of my life, I'd pick BS, but if someone enforced TR, I wouldn't bitch about it.
BS is on a whole different level compared to a lot of "classics" though. The dialogue is so well written and original you'd think it were Tarantino himself who wrote it too.
The scenes are just so varied and poignant they make you want to watch them again and again, for example the scene where the two brothers talk about murderers and rapists getting off on bail, where they cauterize each others' wounds with a heated iron in a silent scene, the scene where one brother saves the other by jumping off a building after ripping a toilet seat from the ground until his wrists bleed.
TR is great, Tarantino's writing is great, Christopher Walken in one scene alone is great, the cast is great, and the chemistry is great, but that doesn't change the fact that the same goes for BS as well.
This thread is sort of a strange comparaison, I would never compare the two because they're such good movies, but they're pretty different stories.
In the end, you just have to accept that some people prefer Quantum of Solace to Skyfall, and that they have arguments to back it up. Whether you're too closed minded to accept those arguments is your problem, and you maybe that this Internet debating *beep* way too seriously.
