    Default What's the best Tarantino film?

    I just really want to know what everyone else thinks...

    Here's the ones i can think of:

    - Reservoir Dogs.
    - Pulp Fiction.
    - Kill Bill Volume 1.
    - Kill Bill Volume 2.
    - True Romance.
    - Natural Born Killers.
    - Jackie Brown.
    - Death Proof.
    - From Dusk Till Dawn

    These are the only ones i could think of...
    Feel free to add more if there are any others.
    I doesn't matter if he's directed it or wrote it...

    Personally i always thought it was Pulp Fiction.
    But ever since the Kill Bill's were released i'm wondering which is best...

    If I remember correctly my favourite out of those films posted is True Romance even if he wrote it and didn't direct it.

    The script was a piece of pure genuis.

    Agreed, True Romance is a great film. I actually liked it more than Pulp Fiction, just by a hair.

    I really like Jackie Brown though, I'm surprised at how many people haven't heard of it.

    Hmm...Reservoir dogs....Pulp fiction...

    I think I'll go with Reservoir dogs.
    Oh and also he did Jackie Brown too, I believe, which I thought was very good.

    thank you.
    But really...
    Jackie Brown...
    Thought that was not so good.
    Possibly his worst.
    Except Natural Born Killers.
    That was just pointless and wrongs =S

    anyone one who can make ODing on a dealer's floor, and getting an Adrenaline shot in the heart look interesting, you kno it's good. Pulp Fiction all the way.

    Pulp fiction, no questions asked.

    Uhm, you forgot "Jackie Brown" and "Death Proof", 2 movies he actually directed. NBK was so much changed from "his" vision that you can't really call it a Tarantino anymore. Oh and who could forget "From Dusk till Dawn" in which he actually starred.

    But yeah, I'll go with Pulp Fiction as well. Overall the most satisfying experience.

    Did you like Death Proof?
    I saw it about a month ago...
    Now that is his worst film ever!
    It's dreadful...
    I hate it.
    I couldn't believe it was a Tarantino film!

    Honestly there's no point to it.
    He drives a car and cannot die when driving it...
    Then these girls get revenge...
    And I didn't actually understand what they were getting revenge for?
    =S


    Oh and anyone think i can put Sin City up there...
    Because he directed a scene in that...
    I believe it was the scene when the character 'Jackie' (Benicio Del Toro) was in the car with 'Dwight' (Clive Owen)

    I didn't like "Death Proof" too much, though that was really a movie made for fans and insiders of the grindhouse theatre in the seventies. Supposedly there are a lot of clever references in it, but the overlong girly chats just don't do it for me.
    I like Jackie Brown though. A bit dialogue heavy but a very good Tarantino.

    Indeed.
    "Movie mad for the fans" do you mean like Snakes On A Plane :|
    That was a crappy idea ...
    Let random people vote for what should happen in the film.
    Didn't really work...


    But d'you think Sin City should be allowed?

    No, it's a Rodriguez movie, not Tarantino.

    But Pulp Fiction is his best. The dialog, the jokes, the violence, the humor are all great and it is one of the best movies ever in my opinion.

    Pulp Fiction. Then Reservoir Dogs. The guy has a real knack for realistic dialogue. The only word to describe his style is COOL. Natural Born Killers would have had an entirely different feel to it had Quentin helmed it.

    Pulp Fiction and then Reservoir Dogs. The dialogue is amazing.

    "Did I break your concentration?" -Pulp Fiction

    "All you can do is pray for a quick death, which you ain't gonna get." -Reservoir Dogs

    Natural Born Killers.
    That was directed by Oliver Stone wasn't it?

    Anyway, Pulp Fiction ftw.

    What is Jackie Brown about? I have heard its really good but for some reason its not as famous as Pulp Fiction, Kill Bill, and Reservoir Dogs.

    Its really good as well. Definately worth watching.

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jackie_Brown_%28film%29

    You've got Sam Jakson sporting fly Kangol gear, Pam Grier still looking good, and De Niro taking bong hits and doing Bridgette Fonda. Not bad. Great cast and a nice soundtrack too. Definately Quentin's most unsung classic. If you haven't seen it and your a fan of Tarantino's work, its a must see.

    I have True Romance on DVD,the one with the alternate ending included. Great movie, but it's no Royale with Cheese imo.
