Sin City (2005)
Once Upon a Time in Mexico (2003)
The Faculty (1998)
From Dusk Till Dawn (1996)
Desperado (1995)
El Mariachi (1992)


Sin City gave me a massive headache, maybe it was the color scheme, or the incessant voice-over, or the whole thing was just too darn loud! Or maybe I'm getting too old for this sort of thing, but I'm sure I'll appreciate it a lot more when I get the dvd.

Rankings

1)From Dusk Till Dawn (a guilty fave)
2)Desperado
3)Sin City
4)The Faculty
5)Once Upon a Time in Mexico (Johnny Depp is easily the best thing about this disappointing sequel)
6)El Mariachi
