From Dusk Till Dawn (1996)
Robert Rodriguez's film of two halves delivers everything you'd want - excessive violence, sharp dialogue courtesy of Quentin Tarantino's script, fantastic FX and glorious bad taste.
The film scores thanks to a sharp U-turn around the fifty minute mark which will stun someone watching the film as i did at the cinema without any preconceived ideas all those years ago, together with engaging performances where even the bad guys are (toe sucking) anti heroes and high energy levels all round. Yes it's gross at times, and high camp at others, not to mention very splattery, but it's never not fun and has a killer Tex - Mex soundtrack to boot.
