TarantinoFan: Desperado was a fantastic movie! El Miriachi the first in the Desperado series was a small budget but a good start to the story line. (rodriguez is a great director, not fond of his spy kid movies but now that he has kids....) Once upon a time in Mexico wasnt bad but too much Johnny Depp and not enough Antonio and the Antonio storyline
Dusk till Dawn 2 an 3 arent keepers but worth watching.. 
Sin City is definitely a cult classic, love the dark movies.. Thats why I know Grindhouse will be amazing!  Can you get the movies you miss off Ebay? (You have NTSC or PAL videos?)

Kool to meet someone with the same taste in movies (not in to typical chick flicks!)
