Blog post #1

Hell's Bells. Blog post #1. First up, setting out to view the movies on Quentin Tarantino's TWO 'greatest movies' lists. Why two? He revised. The first list below (II) is the most recent, hence the 5 repeats crossed out:

II
"Apocalypse Now"
"The Bad News Bears"
"Carrie"
"Dazed & Confused"
"The Good, The Bad & The Ugly"
"The Great Escape"
"His Girl Friday"
"Jaws"
"Pretty Maids All In A Row"
"Rolling Thunder"
"Sorcerer"
"Taxi Driver"  

I
"The Good, The Bad & The Ugly"
"Rio Bravo"
"Blow Out"
"Taxi Driver"
"His Girl Friday"
"Five Fingers Of Death/King Boxer"
"Pandora's Box"
"Carrie"
"Unfaithfully Yours"
"Five Graves To Cairo"  
"Jaws"

The Plan
I'm going to start with list I, the first published (that I know of).  I'll work down that list and then hit the second list. I'm going to do my best to discuss 1) How I feel about each film, and 2) How I see each film reflected in QT's movies.

Clint and Lee, here I come....
