I think Inglorious is a good choice for Arrow, even though I personally have never loved the movie. I think we're moving towards a time where Arrow could release literally ANYTHING, it's just that modern stuff (Fear & Loathing, Crimson Peak etc) seems a bit weird because lots of us remember where it all started with the Fantastic Factory box, City of the Living Dead, Opera etc & now there are so many releases it's like a studio releasing movies every month. My wife keeps hoping somebody will release The Tale of the Bunny Picnic (Jim Henson) on dvd somewhere, so maybe Arrow could explore that kind of thing next? |

I like Inglourious Basterds so much that the BD I have cost £2.50 from Music Magpie and has been watched once, when I liked it more than when I saw it at the cinema. Neither viewing has left me wanting to spend upwards of 20 quid on an upgraded release which will probably collect dust in a spare bedroom or the loft. Reservoir Dogs, Pulp Fiction and Jackie Brown (which I consider Tarantino's best film) would all be more enticing. I did double dip on Crimson Peak, but I think that's a brilliant film and really wanted the Guillermo del Toro El Toro literature. Saying that, since buying it, I've watched it once. It is still out because I want to listen to the commentary again and watch the extra features. It is a contender for the October horror marathon.

Even though Pulp Fiction is my all time favourite film, I don’t think I’d buy an Arrow edition because I have the briefcase one with the Jack Rabbit Slims menu, Big Kahuna Burger bag etc, that’ll take some beating!

Coincidentally, it's the only Tarantino film based on a novel and isn't a remake/reimagining of another film as Reservoir Dogs and Inglourious Basterds are. It doesn't seem to be as self-referential as most of his films even though he is adapting an Elmore Leonard novel with a love letter to blacksploitation cinema. Weirdly, I wasn't overly enamoured with it when I saw it at the cinema, but it completely gripped me on second viewing and I've loved it ever since.
