Wow, hard to believe he's passed away. He was only 67. In so many memorable movies, especially the Tarantino ones.
Michael Madsen RIP

Matter of fact I have enjoyed a great number of his films.

Even something like Thelma and Louise, he was excellent.

Donnie Brasco. He was excellent. Johnnie Black.

You mean Sonny.
Yep.
Sonny Black and Sonny Red were rival bosses.
My research* tells me that Johnnie Black was a 90's porn star.
*I grew up in the 80's and 90's.

I didn't want to say it.....Good on you though, a fine scotch. If you had said Johnnie Blue, I'd have called you a posh wanker.100 correct
Too many years of drinking Johnny Black.

While we're on this. What is everyone's favourite Tarantino movie?
I love most of them. Pulp Fiction is a classic with some of the most memorable lines in cinema. I really liked Jackie Brown even though it wasn't as successful as the others. Loved Django and Inglorious Basterds as well. One of the movies he didn't direct but had a big hand in, True Romance, may be one of the best. I love that movie. Not wild on the Kill Bill movies. Reservoir Dogs is an excellent movie, of course, but not my favourite.
Maybe my favourite is Once Upon a Time in Hollywood. I thought that was brilliant. I love that era in the US, the 60s and I thought the way Tarantino captured it with the streets, cars, even the commercials, was fantastic.

There are so many good ones. I think most would start with Pulp Fiction and #1 with Jackie Brown towing the rear - yet Jackie Brown is still a damn, fine film.
For me:
-Reservoir Dogs is not the #1 but it stands alone, separate in it's own nebula for me.
-Pulp Fiction, Inglorious Basterds, Django Unchained, and the Kill Bill films all rotate in around the top, depending on my mood.
-I honestly didn't love Once Upon a Time the first time I'd seen it but I have watched it multiple times since and it has skyrocketed up the ladder for me (it's close to the ones above, and while the ending is great - without giving away spoilers to anyone who hasn't seen it yet - I think the ending is a little too similar to one of the films above and I take a point away from it for that).
-Jackie Brown has a great plot, it's just not quite up there with the others; still a solid flick
-Hateful Eight is entertaining and checks all the Tarantino boxes but it's just waaaaaaay too long.
-Death Proof is fun and "Stuntman Mike" is great, but it comes in last for me.
Also, I think there have been a bunch of terrific, but two ALL-TIME great acting performances in Tarantino films:
1) Christoph Waltz in Inglorious Basterds
2) Samuel L. Jackson in Django Unchained
