This is one of my favourite movies by the late Tony Scott.
Patricia Arquette is adorable as Alabama and makes her sudden romance with Clarence totally believable; she also gives such a powerful performance when confronted by James Gandolfini's drug goon.
Christian Slater effortlessly switches between being a lovable nice guy to someone who's not afraid to kill for love.
Full of great supporting roles, the standout performances by Gary Oldman, Christopher Walken and Dennis Hopper are very intense.
The pace and dialogue is fast and sharp and is pure Tarantino! I also love Clarence's visions of Elvis and its fun seeing Brad Pitt totally wasted!
Switching between sweet romance, comedy and at times extreme violence this is a cinematic treat!!
