Tarantino does realistic absurdity better than anyone, but my favorites tend to be his straight ahead, no frills crime dramas
Jackie Brown is my personal #1, probably maybe followed by Once Upon a Time but it gets muddy after that... and yeah, those scripts for Natural Born Killers and True Romance were amazeballs
Imdb the casts for those early scripts of his, its a damn who's who's jumping in on Taratinos characters
Gary Oldman
Dennis Hopper
James Gandolfini
Pitt
Arquette
Slater
A 53 man roster of every recognizable character actor ever
-
Woody Harrelson
Juliet Lewis
Tommy Lee Jones
Downey Jr
Rodney Dangerfield
And yet another huge cast slam full of recognizable faces
Both well directed by someone else, they didn't muck up the golden goose... but those movies are all about Tarantinos written characters and story arcs
