'and his dialogue more engaging'

well, they were spaghetti westerns after all, but yes I agree

Tarantino certainly wears many of his influences on his sleeve though

his Hitchcock like penchant for appearing in his own movies as well as the long moving shots into close-ups for instance

he is a modern maestro of synthesizing the hallmarks of good film making

that is undeniable

And so, we two, redoubtable film connoiserus that we are, agree. ;)

One other thing that makes Tarantino special: his understanding of his actors' abilities and on-screen personae. He rescued Travola's career. And his resurrrection of Micheal Parks in KILL BILL was inspired -- not to mention David Carradine (sp?). Has Christoper Walken ever been better than in THE WATCH scene in PULP FICTION?
