Reservoir Dogs for me.

That movie is just excellent from top to bottom.

~Bang

I want to agree man ... it just seems Pulp was more polished. but that gritty feeling that Reservoir Dogs has is amazing and can't be matched in Pulp.

I loved Inglourious Basterds. That opening scene sets up the movie so nicely.

amazign huh? I mean ... the tension, the build up. it was great. Probably his best scence in any of his movies.

Have only seen two of those and I didn't really like Kill Bill so I will go with Inglorious Basterds which was excellent.

Watch Pulp Fiction and Reservoir Dogs tonight. Like, cancel your other commitments and grab a PB&J sandwich cut into triangles. If you can only watch one, watch Pulp Fiction.

1. Inglorious Basterds (cinematically, and structurally the most mature and put together. I love everything about this movie).

2. Pulp Fiction (intensely original)

3. Jackie Brown (a movie for adults. imagine that)

4. Reservoir Dogs (revolutionary, but easy to see it's a first time director's movie)

5. Kill Bill Vol1 (nice homage, but not my favorite genre)

6. Kill Bill Vol2 (ditto)

7. Deathproof (Kurt Russell was great, but too much vamping by the actresses, which I guess was intentional, but even for QT doing a grindhouse flick, it was over-the-top).

I'd like to see QT tackle more Elmore Leonard books with the same approach that he did with Jackie Brown (based on Elmore Leonard's book Rum Punch), but I also can't argue with his original scripts.

Pulp Fiction is pretty much a perfect movie. (The only flaw is Tarantino's casting of himself in a pretty important part).

Reservoir Dogs is great, but it has a flaw that all movies with Harvey Keital as the lead actor have - that being Harvey Keital as the lead actor. (I love Keital just not in 100 minute stretches).

Jackie Brown is better in theory than in execution. (Similar problem as Reservoir Dogs. Obviously, you need Pam Grier in order to make a Pam Grier movie. But Pam Grier is not a very good actress).

I love both Kill Bill movies. The only frustrating thing for me about them is Tarantino is not prolific enough to fully justify 4 hours of a genre exercise. With Steven Soderbergh, it's easier to go down these weird paths, because he is making two movies a year. If you don't really like The Girlfriend Experiment, you will get something else in 8 months. With Tarantino, you are waiting three or four years. Django Unchained might leave me with the same feeling. I'm worried that he is going to be playing in a genre that I kind of hate and it's going to be frustrating.

Inglorious Basterds is a hoot. It was the first movie where I felt him really having fun since Pulp Fiction.

I haven't seen Deathproof. I have no great desire to do so. I'm not really convinced that grindhouse films were something that really needed to be celebrated.

As an aside, I saw an interview with him a few years ago, where he said he wanted to do a modern softcore film. I would love to see him do some kind of modern retelling of a 70s Euro sex comedy or something. I have no idea how he could cast it though.

I would also like to see him just do something middle of the road, just for giggles. Like, who wouldn't want to see a Tarantino version of a stupid Kate Hudson rom-com?

But, like I said, he's not really prolific enough to do everything we would like.

Really tough, but I have to go Pulp Fiction. That might have been the most important film in decades. I still remember very clearly the first time I saw it when I was 17 at the movie theater at Montgomery Mall. Told all of my friends they had to see it immediately, and I was back at the theater watching it again within a week.

And maybe I would be saying Reservoir Dogs if I had seen it first. But I didn't.

I loved Inglourious Basterds. That opening scene sets up the movie so nicely.

I don't think I breathed once during that scene. It was amazing. Probably one of the best scenes of his career.

True Romance is one of my all-time favorite movies. Gotta go with that one for writing. But Natural Born Killers is no slouch on that front. Let us pause for a second and remember how insanely creepy Rodney Dangerfield (RIP) was in that movie. Take his act and twist it just a little dark and...wow

Am I the only one who was eh on Inglorious Basterds? I mean I didn't really like it much at all. Am I weird?

Anyway, best is probably Pulp Fiction but my personal fav is Jackie Brown. No lie, I was like 14 when that came out and Pam Grier put me on like a six-month cougar-porn kick. Ah the memories. But yeah Reservoir Dogs at #3 and Kill Bill in some order after that. Not sure I've ever seen Grindhouse. Am I missing out big time?

I wasn't crazy about Inglorious Basterds. Christopher Waltz was pretty great, Michael Fassbender was a bit of a surprise, but the rest of the movie was pretty goddamn silly. There were parts that just made me cringe, like the chick getting dressed up and putting on the lipstick. I remember watching that in the theater and thinking... this is just awful and too often the movie has nothing worthwhile to say.

It also didn't help that was the year No Country For Old Men came out. I honestly think Inglorious Basterds and There Will Be Blood majorly suffered in the comparison to No Country. No Country was an incredibly tight movie without a single misplaced line, shot, or scene. The whole thing was pitch perfect, it was basically a perfectly made film... and the contrast with those other two movies was stark.

Jackie Brown was pretty awesome. Yeah Pam Greer was hot even then. She was absolutely amazing back in her prime. Bridgette Fonda was pretty hot in that movie too.

EDIT: Actually IB came out in 2009, two years after No Country. It came out the same film year as True Grit. That's what I was thinking of in the comparison.

Winter's Bone was the best movie that year though.

I voted for Kill Bill, but Pulp Fiction & Jackie Brown were unbelievably awesome too.

Ultimately, I went with Kill Bill because it was an epic, it took 2 movies to tell the whole story, & extremely bloody.

I love his style, sticking with old kung-fu movies & 70's exploitative filmmaking. He's a very intelligent writer & his movies are always unique & fun to watch.

Resevoir Dogs.

**** your favorite film.

i CHALLENGE anybody on ES as a self-proclaimed movie buff, and anybody who argues against Resevoir Dogs....they're excluded from the conversation ;)

i'm drunk ;)

:ols: Ooooook...Mr. Pink, is it?

Yeah that was a great movie too. Hard to argue against that being one of his best films. But not my favorite.

I'm with the True Romance cult. Quentin as director? Pulp Fiction.

Now, True Romance is one of my favorite movies EVER. Very different & has set the standard for many heist movies since. In fact, the first time I ever saw "Lock, Stock, & 2 Smokin' Barrels", I thought the ending was very similar to True Romance. I absolutely love True Romance.

Pulp Fiction for me as well. Django Unchained looks VERY promising.

I'm a big fan anyway, so I'm excited.

The KB movies, despite not being movies I'd ever want to watch, are freaking greak.

i love true romance. as far as movies he's directed..... Reservoir Dogs...... but still waiting for the Vega Brothers.
Quote from IMDb=Tarantino has revealed that Vic and Vince are brothers. He also intended to do a prequel to both films called "Double V Vega", which would star the Vega Brothers, but Madsen and Travolta eventually got too old to reprise their roles, and Tarantino has since abandoned it.

That film would have been dope. Unfortunately I guess its not happening.

Hans is my favorite character in that movie, he actually makes the whole film. And Brad Pitt as a blow sniffin redneck from Tennessee is funny as hell.

Kind of excited to see Waltz in Django.
