I think reservoir dogs was his break out film.
It was, but I don't know why people hold it in such high regard, it's not one of his best works. Even as a heist movie, it sucks. I'd rather watch Snatch for instance. Everything but that one film I really enjoy, hell I even enjoy the hell out of From Dusk Til Dawn, that's always going to be my favorite movie with Clooney.

But Reservoir Dogs is just a film I have no desire to watch ever again.

The problem with "Dogs" is the same as, say, a "Usual Suspects" kind of movie.
Once you figure out the big WTF twist, the novelty of the movie starts to wear off.

Yes, exactly! People rave about Usual Suspects too and that's another movie that baffles me as to why it has a cult following. Another movie I really feel is overblown (and this is probably going to piss people off) is....
The Boondock Saints - I still don't understand why this is the premier male shoot everything movie. The story was hogwash, the movie isn't memorable, the characters aren't memorable outside of Willem Dafoe and David Della Rocco. This movie has always been like a 6/10 to me. I've just never felt it deserved the following it has. The sequel pissed me off SO BAD TOO. Rocco's dead and that guy who replaces him is annoying, the southern draw FBI agent to replace Dafoe ROYALLY pissed me off. Then Dafoe's magically alive at the end of the fucking movie. WTF?! IS THAT?! WHY'D I HAVE TO PUT UP WITH THAT ANNOYING ACTRESS FOR 2 HOURS IF HE ISN'T DEAD?! FFFFFFUUU~!!!

I literally stood up at the end of the movie once he showed up, yelled some profanity and flipped the movie off. BULLSHIT! Honestly, I would've at least enjoyed the movie slightly if Dafoe was in the movie, outside of making a shitty ass cameo. What was the point of that besides pissing people off royally?

edit: Dude, I need to work on my cursing, homahgawd.

Ya, I feel the same way about this particular one. Btw, Snatch and Lock Stock are two of my fav films of all time! Actually, when I think about it, a lot of films I like are from the EU, Trainspotting being my number #1 fav of all time.

Snatch is the only movie I actually like Jason Statham in, everything else...ugh. He's played the same role in every single movie since then, except he's become worse and worse of an actor. He's become the UK's Vin Diesel essentially. Snatch and Fight Club have to be my favorite movies with Brad Pitt though. I think I'm gonna watch Snatch, it's been a while! Lock Stock is a great one as well though, Trainspotting's a good film too but the dead baby really made me never want to watch it again, one of those few movies that got to me...hate that scene. Really gritty and nasty.

Requiem for a Dream? I think Aaronofsky needs a nod. ;)
