The Yards. (By the way, saw Rob Roy on the TV the other night and was knocked out by Tim Roth's role as a machiavellic scottish aristocrat. He's such a good actor who's picked many varied roles. Any other favorite Roth roles?)

"Four Rooms" is an excellent Tim Roth flick. It's 4 short stories written and directed by four indi folks (including Quentin T.)that all take place in a L.A. hotel on New Years Eve. Roth plays a bellhop at the hotel and is the thread that ties the 4 stories together. The cast features everyone from Madonna to Bruce Willis. The concept is pretty cool and well exectuted. Not to mention it's kinda off-color and made me laugh consistently.
Also check out a movie Roth did with Tu Pac Shakur (sp?). The name of the flick escapes me. Tim and Tu Pak play a couple of junkies who decide to kick the habit. The bulk of the film documents the weird, violent, humorous, ironic stuff the pair goes through while trying to enroll in a government meth program. Roth is great and I was truly amazed that Shakur's performance is pretty damn good too.
Aurelio, you probobly shouldn't watch either of these with your wife!

Thanks for the suggestion on The Yards. What's it about?
Another indie film I caught a while back starred Roth. He played an ex-convict who had taken the rap for his older, selfish brother. Upon getting out, he moves in with his brother and wife (can't remember her name, but another frequent indie film start who's abolutely gorgeous). Needless to say, things spiral downward from there.
Can't remember name of the movie, but it was pretty good.
I also loved Roth's bit in Pulp Fiction during the stare down/conversation with Samuel L. Jackson. Wonderful!
Never saw Reservoir Dogs or The Cook, The Thief, His Wife and Her Lover but would like to someday!
Any other recs?
