I bet you'd like Goodfellas and Fight Club. Can't think of anymore at the moment. I also heard Casino is good, but I have yet to see it.

If you liked Get Shorty you should definitely watch Out of Sight. I know a lot of people here don't like Jennifer Lopez, but she was fantastic in it, as was everyone and everything else in it.

If you like Tarantino's films check out Guy Ritchie's Lock, Stock, and Two Smoking Barrels and Snatch. They're similar in that they deal with "criminal low-lifes", except Ritchie's are set in East London and not Southern California.

I didn't see it mentioned, but Seven (aka SE7EN) is a favorite to a lot of DVD Talkers. For an incredibly good reason.

In my opinion it defines what a masterpiece is. That and Fight Club are to David Fincher's career what Alien and Blade Runner were to Ridley Scott's. They are the apex of a really good director's body of work. Too bad about Ridley Scott. Maybe David Fincher can still come back from this.

Some I think you would definitely dig, if you haven't seen them already. . .

Boondock Saints - Probably the best of the Resevoir Dogs-type immitators.

Desperado - This one is a no-brainer if you haven't seen it.

Fear & Loathing in Las Vegas

True Romance - You've probably seen this one.

Trainspotting

From Dusk Till Dawn

Swingers - You've probably seen this one too, but just in case.

Dazed & Confused

Let us know, what ones if any, you checked out from this thread.

Much lesser but just as mindlessly entertaining movies include:
Go
Very Bad Things
Way of the Gun
Reindeer Games
Rounders

Edit to add - the Three Kings

I recommend getting Heat. Great performance by DeNiro and Pacino.
