I love Jackie Brown, it's one of Tarantino's best films and I agree with everything in that post.
Max Cherry is one of my favourite movie characters of all time.

Nice list so far, I like that you included trailers so I could check out some that I hadn't seen yet. (Like suprisingly I never saw True Romance which is crazy because I thought I had seen everything with Brad Pitt--not that I'm a Brad Pitt obsesser but some of my friends growing up were and girls night out usually included movies with him haha) Nice "cool" list! lol

I'm kind of mixing it up on trailers, fan tributes, pics, whatever, to keep it interesting for me. Glad you like the list and if it helps you discover something you enjoy, nice!

I have a question:
Deadite, I am not cool. May I still watch these movies? Does that make me the target audience, IE: this is for people who want to become cool? Or is it only for pre-approved cool people, precluding me from participating?
Many thanks,
Not Cool In the Northeast

Hey, I was just kidding. I'm actually cooler than air conditioned underpants. In December. In Antarctica. Hanging out with Samuel L. Jackson. And Fonzi. Wearing sunglasses. At night. So I can, so I can.

Yoda, not being cool is now the new cool. So by default, that now makes you cool. Man looks into the precipice and he sees nothing.....aw hell, screw it, I'm going for a ginger ale.

The characters and the actions in the movie aren't meant to be fully understood.
I'd definitely agree with you on that. I think one of Persona's central themes is the manner in which people hide parts of themselves from those around them, so I guess it would make sense that the characters remain somewhat ambiguous. I'm fairly certain that Alma and Elisabet are the same person, but I don't think I'll ever know which is true: that Alma represents Elisabet's inner self or that Elisabet represents Alma's inner self.
That's a valid interpretation. Another interpretation is that they may be two individuals, but are the same on a deeper psychological level. Perhaps the film implies that all personas are masks covering an essential oneness of human beings in general, and those two are a particular example of that. I've also read of an interpretation that Elizabeth represents Bergman's silent God.
The greatness of Persona for me is that it doesn't clearly distinguish between what's meant to reflect "real life" and what's meant to be purely symbolic...
