The Films I Own But Haven't Watched Yet is a spin-off podcast series from WN MOVIE TALK PODCAST (which you should definitely check out). Each week, I randomly select a title from the ever-growing list of DVDs that I own but haven't watched yet, then I watch it and give my first thoughts. Today's choice is one that I have watched but not since it first released, and that is Tony Scott's Tarantino-penned movie \"True Romance\"
True Romance (1993): Directed by Tony Scott and written by Quentin Tarantino, \"True Romance\" is a stylish and violent crime romance film that follows the story of Clarence Worley (Christian Slater) and Alabama Whitman (Patricia Arquette). Clarence, a comic book store clerk, meets and falls in love with Alabama, a call girl, during a whirlwind weekend. After marrying her, Clarence decides to confront her pimp, Drexl (Gary Oldman), which sets off a chain of events that plunges the couple into a dangerous world of crime and chaos.
They come into possession of a suitcase full of cocaine and decide to sell it in order to start a new life together. However, their plan quickly spirals out of control as they are pursued by both the police and the mob. With a star-studded cast that includes Dennis Hopper, Val Kilmer, Brad Pitt, and Christopher Walken, \"True Romance\" is known for its sharp dialogue, memorable characters, and intense action scenes.
Join me as I revisit \"True Romance\" for the first time since its release and share my fresh impressions!
