Directed by Quentin Tarantino

A botched robbery indicates a police informant, and the pressure mounts in the aftermath at a warehouse. Crime begets violence as the survivors -- veteran Mr. White, newcomer Mr. Orange, psychopathic parolee Mr. Blonde, bickering weasel Mr. Pink and Nice Guy Eddie -- unravel.

Why it matters

The ear-slicing torture scene is made unbearable by the cheerful pop of Stealers Wheel's 'Stuck in the Middle with You', a masterclass in ironic juxtaposition.
