(Jake)Throughout the gangster and crime thriller genre there are few names that are as iconic and instantly associated with the genre as Quentin Tarantino. Quentin first shot to fame with Reservoir dogs in 1992 an independent film that has since become one of the genres most iconic films, making particularly good use of the "men in suits" convention seen in plenty of other gangster movies. Tarantino also went on to make other critically acclaimed gangster/crime thriller movies such as Jackie Brown and the now legendary Pulp Fiction.
(Adam)He often leaves a very recognisable personal touch to all of his movies, his constant use of popular culture references always works in his favour when appealing to fans. He has also become legendary for the level of violence often introduced into his films, typical of the gangster/crime genre, famous scenes include the interrogation by Mr Blonde of a police officer in Reservoir dogs and the battle between The Bride and the Crazy 88 in Kill Bill. and finally the most obvious of his personal conventions is the"Mexican standoff" which features in all but one of Tarantino's movies.
Like many other directors he tends to use the same actors for a lot of his films, these actors include: Tim Roth, Harvey Keitel, Uma Thurman, Michael Madsen and Samuel L Jackson.
