Reservoir Dogs (1992)
Quentin Tarantino’s directorial debut set the tone for the rest of '90s cinema. Following a failed diamond heist, a group of criminals are holed up in their rendezvous point.

The Shining (1980)
The Shining is a haunting horror showcase that builds to a frightening crescendo. Directed by Stanley Kubrick and based on the Stephen King novel, it is about about a hotel caretaker (Jack Nicholson) who goes on a murderous rampage against his family. Beautifully shot and deeply disturbing, The Shining dares to delve into the darkness of the isolated human psyche.

A Clockwork Orange (1971)

Pulp Fiction (1994)
Tarantino’s second directorial outing is one of cinema's greatest masterpieces. A crime dramedy with several intersecting story lines, it gave us such pop culture staples as “A Royale with Cheese”, “Say ‘what’ again!” and Samuel L Jackson’s fantastic but misquoted recital of Ezekiel 25:17.
