I've never seen True Romance that I recall It's outstanding in my opinion, it's in my top ten of all time. I think it's Tarantino's best movie which is probably because Tarantino only wrote but didn't direct. It's also his first, written with the intention of directing but then sold before he finally decided to start his career with Reservoir Dogs. The story is basically two young, naive people who meet, have a shotgun wedding, and plan to run off together. But first he has to free her from her pimp and in the process of trying to do so accidentally winds up with a suitcase full of mob drugs, leading to a run from much violence. The acting is great pretty much across the board. The film is famous for the subtle "Sicilian scene" between Dennis Hopper and Christopher Walken. The cast also stars Gary Oldman, Brad Pitt, Michael Rapaport, James Gandolfini, Tom Sizemore, Chris Penn, Saul Rubinek, Samuel Jackson, and of course Bronson Pinchot.

Never got into Gilligan's Island, though the theme is iconic. Strangely enough I can recite the lyrics to Green Acres in their entirety despite the fact that I hated the show. I can also sing the Mr. Ed theme song which makes more sense because I loved that one growing up.
Fun fact: Wilbur from Mr. Ed is the voice of Scrooge McDuck.

Haven't watched it in forever though... Also who CAN'T recite the lyrics to Green Acres?

Why would anyone my age know the lyrics of Green Acres? Why should anyone in the world have been exposed to the lyrics of Green Acres?

I don't recall ever watching the show, but I know the intro song by heart.

Oh wait, I've seen True Romance. It's that completely overrated piece of drek that Tarrantino fans pontificate endlessly on despite the fact that it's actually incredibly shallow, even for a Tarrantino offering.
