Vince Gilligan has to be a huge film buff.
I mean, we all love films, of course, but he seems to really be a huge film buff than I would imagine. So much references to classic films like The Searchers, The Godfather, The Treasure Of The Sierra Madre, Schindler's List, The Bridge On The River Kwai, Fargo, Sergio Leone westerns, etc. that make me grin like an idiot. This show was made for film buffs. One of the big reasons why it's my favorite series of all time.
Want three steaks?... My mistake. Four steaks.
