Tarantino's latest...
- Thread starter HBK4life

That's the thing about Tarantino movies is he makes these super intelligent characters and then they go off and do something stupid and out of character. Plus his movies are very slow at times. They're good for the most part but not my favorite type of movie.
There are multiple 'Best of' lists that don't have Pulp Fiction as his best movie.
Of course there are...there are lots of lists that don't have Elvis as one of the best singers ever...and just think how often a hot chicks picture is posted on this site only to be followed with 25 dorks commenting on how she "doesn't do it for them".
My ranking goes like this:
1.) Pulp Fiction
2.) Kill Bill Vol. 1
3.) Inglorious Basterds
4.) Django Unchained
5.) Kill Bill Vol. 2
6.) Reservoir Dogs
7.) Death Proof
8.) Jackie Brown
9.) The Hateful Eight
I can't wait to see this one. The only movie by him that I flat out thought was bad was the Hateful Eight. I haven't seen Jackie Brown in quite some time and it deserves a re-watch. Reservoir Dogs is ok, just really grating because its so god damn tense and shit. I absolutely love Kill Bill Vol. 1. It always puts me in a good mood. And Pulp Fiction is, to me, kind of like Star Wars: a movie like that only comes around once a decade or so, and it almost doesn't even need to be ranked, it's just a classic.

Me neither! I remember liking it but also finding it to be a little boring and just not very engaging.
Amazing thing about Pulp Fiction is as bad as Marcellus Wallace claimed to be the amount of people f-ing him. Literally and figuratively. From Bruce Willis to the boys in the apartment to well you know....Zed.
Even Vincent was considering banging Mia Wallace.

Pulp Fiction stands the test of time. A movie that you can watch 50 times and it gets better every time. Same with Shawshank Redemption, The Godfather, Jaws, Goodfellas, Tombstone, Gladiator, Saving Private Ryan and Platoon. All time classics
That was Robert Rodriguez directing. They collaborated on it. Tarantino wrote and acted in it.

I just think two of the best characters ever in Quentin Tarantino movies were in Inglorious Basterds, Christopher Waltz (Hans Landa) and Brad Pitt (Aldo Raine). Waltz won an Oscar, a Golden Globe, Cannes, BAFTA, and entire cast won a SAG Award, so it's not like it was a snoozer flick.
I still like Pulp Fiction, but just not as well as Inglorious Basterds. Brad Pitt's character was hilarious too. "Gorlami.." The scene in the basement bar was phenomenal.
Tarantino is a sick F. Cant stand him and his gross way... dude has issues.
Having said that, pulp fiction is good, as is reservoir dogs. Inglorious bastards is well done, too.
Django was good but was too preachy and man did it absolutely jump the shark. What a shame. Leos best role by far as Candy. Great set.
Hateful 8....what a miss. Sad sad miss. Great premise and setting, but it jumped the shark as well. What a waste of Samuel Jackson.
Kill Bill movies are among the most overrated movies of all time. They are dogshit terrible. I dont understand how anyone likes them.

Just saw Once upon a time in Hollywood. Classic Tarantino. Very slow going getting in. But the last half hour freaking bloody and hilarious. Without giving anything away. Leo and Brad really hate hippees. Lol, rolling. And away we go. Pitt was great.
I have a feeling that Brad might go the way of Newman...almost so handsome that it hurts his chance at winning awards.
Newman should have won...probably 5 oscars? But I think he ended up with just one...he was so handsome and made everything look so easy.
Can't get over how much he looked like a younger Robert Redford in this movie.
From Dusk till Dawn is my favorite. I like Hostel as well (or are we just talking about writer?). I am pretty twisted, though, and prefer horror films.
Butch Cassidy and The Sundance Kid is still in my Best Movies list. Such a funny flick..
The Salma Hayek dance scene though.
simply for this.
the rest of it was junk.
movies hes directed are boring.
I like all of those, although Tombstone and Shawshank are a little hacky at times, and The Godfather isn't nearly as good as Good Fellas in terms of mob flicks.
A few of my favorites.. Deer Hunter, Midnight Cowboy, Chinatown, Michael Clayton, Rushmore, Sleeper, No Country for Old Men, Bottle Rocket, LA Confidential, Dr. Strangelove, Raging Bull, Raising Arizona, Broadway Danny Rose, Raiders of the Lost Ark, Fight Club, Zelig, The Departed, Big Lebowski, Gangs of New York, Annie Hall, American Beauty, Royal Tenenbaums, The Fugitive, The Untouchables, The Incredibles, Up, Love and Death..

Wife is going to a wedding in Texas and said something about a hotel in Temple.
I said, "raised a family there in Temple."
Nothing
I think True Romance and From Dusk til Dawn need to be on his list since he wrote them. The Sicilian scene in TR is one of his best besides the Basterds opening scene.
Sly had a great line about Over the Top...he said that they kept pitching the movie to him and he kept saying no...over and over...but everytime they would offer him more money...he said "It finally got to the point that the money was just so good I had to say yes...plus I knew no one would ever see the movie"
Easily the 2 best. The way Landa could switch from regular guy to intensewhen questioning was amazing.
Yeah... no. Inglorious basterds was way too hokey and frankly quite stupid. Oh, but I'm glad YOU enjoyed it. Django was ok. Pulp Fiction is the best easily, of Tarantino's movies, with Reservoir Dogs at number two.
