I don't think I could go so far as to say "one of the greatest films ever made", but most definitely it's under-appreciated. I can't figure out how people who say they LOVE Tarantino can't appreciate this film. Great characters, and greater dialogue! By God, halfway through that movie, I was rooting for Stuntman Mike! Man, those women were annoying.

anyone who says they love tarantino should love Death Proof it's one of his best films.
i've probably seen it more times than any other movie and i don't think the girls are annoying.
i love everything about it the characters, the dialogue, the music. it's a perfect film.

[BigmoufStrikes]

The thing that I think the OP is talking about when he says that sci-fi and horror are somewhat similar and not a stones throw away are that they have to dear with fear. Usually Sci-Fi films deal with a fear for the future because most Sci-Fi movies deal with a dystopian future in which all that we dreamed of has gone into ruin. Thus a fear for a fallen society. In horror movies, fear is much more in your face with a type of conduit causing the fear. Although they are not the same they have some similarities.

I have to disagree.

If you want to include fantasy and other "speculative fiction" categories, then I can see the categorization. Otherwise, I can't see it.
