Didnt fully agree with the Django takes and the uncomfortablenes. Especially when they immediately reveled in the fate of the nazis in Basterds. Just struck me as peculiar. Good lists tho.
Yooo, I was listening to the podcast of this ...heard the Django take lead into the the Basterds take and immediately came here to protest... but the most surprising part ...is that I was surprised. Pop culture ignoring slavery, African American stories, a telling of America's history more true than most depictions..."it's the worst of all his movies" said the guy who also says "why aren't more people excited bout a star is born" Fennesy, not surprising. Ryan and Concepcion...im glad I found out now rather than later. P.S. Tarantino is the epitome of Goals for making Django. A movie that would've never have been made had he not done it. Do the right thing Django Get out 3 essentials to the experience
As soon as i heard the takes about Django, i immediately came to make this comment. This would have been a good time to have the token black guy in the podcast to comment on the movie
Feeling too embarrassed/having too much white guilt to even discuss Django Unchained is peak-Ringer. It's one of my qualms with their content sometimes - they're such coastal elite woke sjws on certain things that they don't realize how out of touch they truly are with the average person of color that they're purporting to speak for. (fyi guys - that's inherently racist and problematic, in and of itself) Every person of color I know that saw Django Unchained loves that movie and advocates for it. Django's character is a symbol of empowerment, and the language and content in the movie that makes these guys uncomfortable are valuable depictions of history that can serve as stark reminders and teaching moments. To just brush aside Django is so ridiculous.
Makes me so happy seeing people give jackie brown so much praise. i have always felt it was his best by a pretty big margin and easily his most underrated and misunderstood. One of my top 10 favourite films of all time and it feels so cool to see it finally acknowledged.
I’ve seen it the least of his movies (aka once) and liked it, but I distinctly remember that it didn’t feel as sharp as a typical Tarantino movie. Maybe that’s the influence of the book, or maybe he deliberately toned down his style, but I know I need to watch it again.
@@bencarlson4300 Elmore Leonard is definitely an influence on Tarantino's writing style as far as story goes... If QT dialed up Jackie Brown to his style level - then he should've just made a film with his own story. After Pulp - I think he did the right thing. If he would've gone with another hyper violent, hyper stylized story of his own - would the mainstream have turned on him like they love to do and say - oh QT is a one trick pony. So a you're right without knowing you're right, he did deliberately tone down the QT with a more mellow, slower, less stylized story yet still with QT's eye behind the camera, a great choice for his 3rd film.
I loveee Jackie brown. Def top 3 best movie of Quentin. The acting. The atmosphere. The actors. The music. The story. The plot. I won’t lie though. I was hurt when I found out it was from a book already written lol
I really enjoy these discussions and lists and am a fan of the show, but the comments on Django are interesting to me. I understand people can have differing opinions and different ideas, but the idea that ending to Django is cheap or comes short is interesting. I always felt that Django was a superhero film, a coming of age/ revenge film for a folk super hero in the slave era. I think the uncomfortableness is necessary and it isn't as unwatchable in terms as grime as was described in this podcast. I think roughly 4 or 5 is a solid ranking for it to be last for Sean was interesting lol.
Top 5: 1- Django Unchained 2- Inglourious Bastards 3- Pulp Fiction 4- Reservoir Dogs 5- Hateful Eight Honorable mention: Once Upon a Time In Hollywood and Jackie Brown.

Gentlemen, I enjoyed your debate as much as several of the movies (we English say "Films"). My favs - R Dogs - Pulp Fiction - Jackie Brown -- BTW my favourite scene was Jimmy talking to Mr White about his aunt Ginny
How can you possibly say that a Reservoir Dogs doesn't get made in 2019 as a good thing? A guy with no connections or advantages in life rises up to get noticed in the most competitive industry in the world writes and directs a movie that changes the landscape of cinema. Ya totally something 2019 couldn't handle.
There are a lot of movies from the 80s amd 90s that wouldn't have been made if the script had been passed around hollywood in the last decade. Simmons makes this take about his favorite action movie, 48 Hours.
I liked this. Django is one of my favorites is a fun bang em up revenge story that is just fun. Django is a hero and it's an uplifting story My top 5 1. Once upon a time in Hollywood 2. Pulp fiction 3. Django 4. KB1 5. Inglorious
I'd love to see Quentin adapt Louis L'Amour. We've seen how well he does Adaptations with Jackie Brown and how much he respect those pulp Westerns in his last 3 films. Why not?
Real shit, Tarantino's performance in From Dusk Til Dawn was astonishing. I mean, Quentin hung in there with Harvey Keitel. No joke. It was a fucking GREAT movie... until the zombies showed up... but the first half was top-notch terrifying!
1. Pulp Fiction 2. The Hateful Eight 3. Django Unchained 4. Reservoir Dogs 5. Inglorious Bastards (Haven’t seen either kill bill, Death Proof, or once upon a time in Hollywood)
the little corner store next door had a shelf of movie rentals. just a handful of whatever. for some reason True Romance was always there. I didn't like Christian Slater so I never bothered with it. one night I got it and loved it. especially the dialogue. written by Quentin Tarantino. a bit later a bunch of us went to a movie but didn't know what to watch. came across the poster for Pulp Fiction written and directed by Quentin Tarantino. that's the dude who wrote True Romance, let's see this. knew nothing about it. best movie going experience of my life. hooked since
He didn’t cheat tho . He shot kill bill all at one time as ONE movie but the studio wanted to release it as 2 movies because of how long it was . So no he didn’t cheat . He wrote it and filmed it as one movie so it’s one movie to him
I appreciate finally someone acknowledging the brilliance of Jackie Brown!!! Sean and Jason had me crying w/the whole parking lot scene and then the Sam Jackson explanation, funny! And Jason's analysis of the film is spot on! I knew the film's premise but, his articulation even made me think about it on an even deeper level. I agree people may put this film at or near the bottom because it lacks the razzle dazzle of some of his other films. And, I'm w/Chris on Django, my favorite Tarantino movie. The subject matter is tough for some but that's why I like it. It's honest about the horrors of slavery but, it's clever enough to do it w/humor. My top three Tarantino films are Django, Pulp Fiction and Jackie Brown and I appreciate your insightful opinions. P.S. I have to watch you guys talk about Jackie Brown again, that was some of the funniest sh*t ever!
Trivia... the O.D scene with Lance and Vincent bringing Mia back to life with the syringe is actually taken from a real life story told in the documentary 'American Boy' (1978) Directed by.... Martin Scorsese.. it is a conversation with Scorsese's friend Steven Prince who was cast as a gun dealer in Taxi Driver. During the early 90's QT stated Taxi Driver among his top 3 all time favorite films, and he is obviously inspired by Martin Scorsese and Brian DePalma (especially Blow Out starring John Travolta, and Scarface.) He must have got his hands on a copy of the documentary 'American Boy' during his days working at the video store. It is available to watch on youtube if you search for it.
If we're listing everything he's involved in (script only / script & directing) Pulp Fiction - what is there to say that hasn't been said? a different scene becomes my fav scene, a different line becomes my fav line, shot, framing... becomes my fav after each viewing. Shit - just realized you can see Vincent Vega twice (out of focus but still) twice in opening scene in diner. Once Upon a Time in Hollywood - his love for hollywood, california; cinema; tv series; actors & actresses, directors... everything in this film is treated with so much love for all of things he truly cares about... his love letter to the last of a dying period of time - hollywood: when film and commerce were at it's tail end of marital bliss, on the very beginning of the other side even... the other side being commerce THEN film... his style brought to that period of hollywood is incredible. his dialogue brought to that period of hollywood is incredible. Brad Pitt - a return to QT universe (True Romance & Basterds) and Leo - a second go, this time as lead... in a buddy film? So cool. The wardrobes? The makeover given to hollywood blvd? Al Pacino? The love shown to Sergio Corbucci? The one use of CGI (adding Leo to The Great Escape? (so fucking awesome lololol.) Margot Robbie? She's one of the sexiest women on the planet as evidence by Wolf of Wall Street and then while still sexy in OUATIH, she's more beautiful than sexy... the way he lit her in scenes, the way he framed her... while she's not in a lot of the movie - when she's on screen she radiates (which she does by herself) and QT just tries to showcase that for the viewer while also putting Sharon Tate on the radar for a younger generation. Kill Bill: The Whole Bloody Affair (Kill Bill 1, like Sean who I believe is my age... he may be a year older than me actually... said something I completely agree with: Kill Bill 1 is one of my favorite movie going experiences of all time. Saw it opening night with my best friend who was also a QT head like me. As friends, our favorite activity to do together was go see movies. I have Kill Bill in top 3 because when I watch it... I watch both of them together as one long epic 4 hour film. I think it ultimately works better despite its length as one film because the MAX levels of the Kill Bill sliders turned down from MAX QT to Spaghetti Western QT half way through the movie is pho-cking brilliant to me.) Inglorious Basterds - the opening scene might be my favorite scene with QT dialogue. Hans Landa might be my fav QT character of all time. Could watch an entire film of Landa as a hunter tracking down people for the SS. Brad Pitt is so charismatic on film... he is so goddamn believable as a LEADER of a crew. He's believable as leader of a Nazi hunting outfit of soldiers... he's believable as leader of a crew of just cool people (Ocean's films... jam packed with cool actors playing cool... he's just the absolute epitome of COOL - even cooler than Clooney imo.) Mike Myers cameo? QT first toe dip into historical re-writing. After flipping Vic Vega to Vincent Vega since Madsen passed on it... Vincent Vega is an example of expanding the QT universe. Django (because of time period) is where the universe gets expanded the most as far as TIME... (Captain Coons in PF is a descendant of Crazy Craig Coons, a bounty in Django). Relationship expansion also occurs in Hateful 8 and Basterds. True Romance Jackie Brown Reservoir Dogs Django Hateful 8 Death Proof Dusk Til Dawn Natural Born Killers
The justified rage that they LOVED in Inglorious Basterds, is the EXACT same "overkill rage" in Django. It's interesting that these 3 smart men didn't make the connection.
The end of Django is a shootout. The end of Basterds is a movie theatre filled with explosive film being burned down while guys with dynamite strapped to their legs shoot down on unarmed nazis then unload in hitlers face close up…that’s overkill lol
I mean, it’s how it’s done. The violence in Django is very in your face and held out for a long time. Other than the hitler close ups as he’s getting gunned down, the violence is a bit more at a distance than the Django shootout… I think that’s the difference. Not to mention the meta element of basterds ending being a bunch of people in a cinema enjoying nazi violence on screen (which the average audience member is seething at) only to subvert it: we become the same audience cheering for the violence done to the nazis that the nazis were ten mins before watching the nazi propaganda film within the film. There were more levels to it and it had a bit more balance I think. *Though ultimately I disagree, I didn’t personally see Django as overkill per say, I saw it as Tarantino having fun with the ending. A little indulgent at points but not overkill.
1. Pulp Fiction 2. Django Unchained 3. Inglourious Basterds 4. Kill Bill Vol 1 & 2 5. Reservoir Dogs 6. Jackie Brown I thought Django was just brilliant. Though probably Quentin's worst cameo and the shoot out was a bit over the top. Though I did love it. However, Pulp Fiction is just brilliant and is head an shoulders above all his other films. I think it is fair he classes Kill Bill as one film as that is how he shot it and only split into 2 because Miramax told him he had to do it. Hence I have classed as one film as well ;)
It's so hard to pick favorites because I've loved all of the ones I've seen. I would say my top 5 in no order are Django Unchained, The Hateful Eight, Kill Bill 1&2, Once Upon a Time in Hollywood, Pulp Fiction.
I've watched other people discussing Tarantino, and even discussing Basterdz specifically. Just like in this discussion, and many others, wanna know what no one brings up or celebrates? Shosanna Dreyfus. A little over half of that movie is all about her, and people barely remember her or her story. Even "expert commentators" don't bring her up. Literally half of the movie focuses on her! At any rate, that's why Basterdz isn't in my Top 5.
I haven't even seem all QT films (yet) but True Romance has been my favorite movie since I walked our of the theater in the 90's. Pulp Fiction is on the top five list as well. The scene with Dennis Hopper and Christopher Walken from True Romance is still an all timer!
True Romance is a Tony Scott film. Tarantino wrote the screenplay, but Scott was director and made significant changes. The ending being somewhat happy for example. You're right, it's a brilliant film, but it gets disqualified on that basis.
1) Pulp Fiction 2) Django Unchained 3) Kill Bill Volume 1 4) Inglorious Bastards 5) The Hateful Eight 6) Jackie Brown 7) Reservoir Dogs 8) Kill Bill Volume 2 9) Once Upon A Time in Hollywood 10) Death Proof

My five are 5. Reservoir Dogs 4. Jackie Brown 3. Inglorious Bastards 2. Once Upon a time in Hollywood 1. Pulp Fiction I hated the Kill Bill films and his grind house movies but the other 7 are all good with these the best 5 of them. Number 6 would be the Hateful Eight and 7. Would be Django Unchained.
1. Django 2. Dogs 3. Pulp Fiction 4. Once upon a time... 5. KB v 1&2 (little cheating here, but am I wrong to consider this 1 film with a long intermission??)
Pulp Fiction (At the time, "WTF?!! This kind of shit is all I want to see for the next decade!") Bastards (You like witty suspenseful dialogue? Watch him do it in 4 languages.) Reservoir Dogs (At the time, "Whoa this is special...") Kill Bill V1 & 2 (QT counts them as one, they were shot simultaneously.) Death Proof (Those are real practical old school car stunts.) *Dusk 'til Dawn (Still so much fun and quote!) Tarantino's probably my favorite director of all time, but I can't help feel his films post Bastards aren't as tight in pace, largely due probably to the death of Sally Menke, his long time editor since Dogs.
I don't think most people talk like a Tarantino character, but I think we have all wished, perhaps in anger, we could talk that way in a given situation. By that I mean all the swearing and racial language. But we don't do that because we are civil and we give a damn about others. As much as we love many of the characters, they are often not civil people who don't give a damn about others. I think a lot of us sometimes fantasize about being an asshole. Especially those times when we have to deal with real assholes, and we wish we could just verbally demoralize them and then brutally kill them. But we're civilized, so we watch a Tarantino film instead.
Haven't seen Jackie Brown, Hateful 8, or Once Upon a Time in Hollywood yet, so this list will probably change in the future: 1. Kill Bill vol. 1 2. Django Unchained 3. Reservoir Dogs 4. Pulp Fiction 5. Inglorious Bastards KB vol 2 and Deathproof were... Alright, I guess. A little disappointing, but not really bad films in hindsight.

I'd love to see Quentin adapt Louis L'Amour. We've seen how well he does Adaptations with Jackie Brown and how much he respect those pulp Westerns in his last 3 films. Why not?

Real shit, Tarantino's performance in From Dusk Til Dawn was astonishing. I mean, Quentin hung in there with Harvey Keitel. No joke. It was a fucking GREAT movie... until the zombies showed up... but the first half was top-notch terrifying!

the little corner store next door had a shelf of movie rentals. just a handful of whatever. for some reason True Romance was always there. I didn't like Christian Slater so I never bothered with it. one night I got it and loved it. especially the dialogue. written by Quentin Tarantino. a bit later a bunch of us went to a movie but didn't know what to watch. came across the poster for Pulp Fiction written and directed by Quentin Tarantino. that's the dude who wrote True Romance, let's see this. knew nothing about it. best movie going experience of my life. hooked since
Bridget Fonda - in the parking lot with Deniro is something else …. Because you sympathize with the character Lewis
1. Reservoir Dogs , 2. Pulp Fiction , 3. Kill Bill vol 1 , 4. Kill Bill vol 2 , 5. Inglorious Basterds (then Death Proof for the wild card lol)
He didn’t cheat tho . He shot kill bill all at one time as ONE movie but the studio wanted to release it as 2 movies because of how long it was . So no he didn’t cheat . He wrote it and filmed it as one movie so it’s one movie to him

1. Once Upon A Time In Hollywood & Django
I appreciate finally someone acknowledging the brilliance of Jackie Brown!!! Sean and Jason had me crying w/the whole parking lot scene and then the Sam Jackson explanation, funny! And Jason's analysis of the film is spot on! I knew the film's premise but, his articulation even made me think about it on an even deeper level. I agree people may put this film at or near the bottom because it lacks the razzle dazzle of some of his other films. And, I'm w/Chris on Django, my favorite Tarantino movie. The subject matter is tough for some but that's why I like it. It's honest about the horrors of slavery but, it's clever enough to do it w/humor. My top three Tarantino films are Django, Pulp Fiction and Jackie Brown and I appreciate your insightful opinions. P.S. I have to watch you guys talk about Jackie Brown again, that was some of the funniest sh*t ever!
Trivia... the O.D scene with Lance and Vincent bringing Mia back to life with the syringe is actually taken from a real life story told in the documentary 'American Boy' (1978) Directed by.... Martin Scorsese.. it is a conversation with Scorsese's friend Steven Prince who was cast as a gun dealer in Taxi Driver. During the early 90's QT stated Taxi Driver among his top 3 all time favorite films, and he is obviously inspired by Martin Scorsese and Brian DePalma (especially Blow Out starring John Travolta, and Scarface.) He must have got his hands on a copy of the documentary 'American Boy' during his days working at the video store. It is available to watch on youtube if you search for it.
If we're listing everything he's involved in (script only / script & directing)
Pulp Fiction - what is there to say that hasn't been said? a different scene becomes my fav scene, a different line becomes my fav line, shot, framing... becomes my fav after each viewing. Shit - just realized you can see Vincent Vega twice (out of focus but still) twice in opening scene in diner.
Once Upon a Time in Hollywood - his love for hollywood, california; cinema; tv series; actors & actresses, directors... everything in this film is treated with so much love for all of things he truly cares about... his love letter to the last of a dying period of time - hollywood: when film and commerce were at it's tail end of marital bliss, on the very beginning of the other side even... the other side being commerce THEN film... his style brought to that period of hollywood is incredible. his dialogue brought to that period of hollywood is incredible. Brad Pitt - a return to QT universe (True Romance & Basterds) and Leo - a second go, this time as lead... in a buddy film? So cool.
The wardrobes? The makeover given to hollywood blvd? Al Pacino? The love shown to Sergio Corbucci? The one use of CGI (adding Leo to The Great Escape? (so fucking awesome lololol.) Margot Robbie? She's one of the sexiest women on the planet as evidence by Wolf of Wall Street and then while still sexy in OUATIH, she's more beautiful than sexy... the way he lit her in scenes, the way he framed her... while she's not in a lot of the movie - when she's on screen she radiates (which she does by herself) and QT just tries to showcase that for the viewer while also putting Sharon Tate on the radar for a younger generation.
Kill Bill: The Whole Bloody Affair (Kill Bill 1, like Sean who I believe is my age... he may be a year older than me actually... said something I completely agree with: Kill Bill 1 is one of my favorite movie going experiences of all time. Saw it opening night with my best friend who was also a QT head like me. As friends, our favorite activity to do together was go see movies. I have Kill Bill in top 3 because when I watch it... I watch both of them together as one long epic 4 hour film. I think it ultimately works better despite its length as one film because the MAX levels of the Kill Bill sliders turned down from MAX QT to Spaghetti Western QT half way through the movie is pho-cking brilliant to me.)
Inglorious Basterds - the opening scene might be my favorite scene with QT dialogue. Hans Landa might be my fav QT character of all time. Could watch an entire film of Landa as a hunter tracking down people for the SS. Brad Pitt is so charismatic on film... he is so goddamn believable as a LEADER of a crew. He's believable as leader of a Nazi hunting outfit of soldiers... he's believable as leader of a crew of just cool people (Ocean's films... jam packed with cool actors playing cool... he's just the absolute epitome of COOL - even cooler than Clooney imo.) Mike Myers cameo? QT first toe dip into historical re-writing. After flipping Vic Vega to Vincent Vega since Madsen passed on it... Vincent Vega is an example of expanding the QT universe. Django (because of time period) is where the universe gets expanded the most as far as TIME... (Captain Coons in PF is a descendant of Crazy Craig Coons, a bounty in Django). Relationship expansion also occurs in Hateful 8 and Basterds.

Any movie where Prime DeNiro is like 4th or 5th on the call sheet is a fucking masterpiece.
52:47 Point Blank is one of my favorite films, but I never made the connection to Pulp Fiction

The justified rage that they LOVED in Inglorious Basterds, is the EXACT same "overkill rage" in Django.
It's interesting that these 3 smart men didn't make the connection.
The end of Django is a shootout.
The end of Basterds is a movie theatre filled with explosive film being burned down while guys with dynamite strapped to their legs shoot down on unarmed nazis then unload in hitlers face close up…that’s overkill lol
I mean, it’s how it’s done. The violence in Django is very in your face and held out for a long time. Other than the hitler close ups as he’s getting gunned down, the violence is a bit more at a distance than the Django shootout… I think that’s the difference. Not to mention the meta element of basterds ending being a bunch of people in a cinema enjoying nazi violence on screen (which the average audience member is seething at) only to subvert it: we become the same audience cheering for the violence done to the nazis that the nazis were ten mins before watching the nazi propaganda film within the film. There were more levels to it and it had a bit more balance I think. *Though ultimately I disagree, I didn’t personally see Django as overkill per say, I saw it as Tarantino having fun with the ending. A little indulgent at points but not overkill.

I thought Django was just brilliant. Though probably Quentin's worst cameo and the shoot out was a bit over the top. Though I did love it. However, Pulp Fiction is just brilliant and is head an shoulders above all his other films. I think it is fair he classes Kill Bill as one film as that is how he shot it and only split into 2 because Miramax told him he had to do it. Hence I have classed as one film as well ;)
For me....1. Reservoir Dog

It's so hard to pick favorites because I've loved all of the ones I've seen. I would say my top 5 in no order are Django Unchained, The Hateful Eight, Kill Bill 1&2, Once Upon a Time in Hollywood, Pulp Fiction.
1) Pulp Fiction
2) Inglorious Basterds
3) Once upon a Time....

I've watched other people discussing Tarantino, and even discussing Basterdz specifically. Just like in this discussion, and many others, wanna know what no one brings up or celebrates? Shosanna Dreyfus. A little over half of that movie is all about her, and people barely remember her or her story. Even "expert commentators" don't bring her up. Literally half of the movie focuses on her! At any rate, that's why Basterdz isn't in my Top 5.
1) Reservoir Dogs
2) Jackie Brown
3) Pulp Fiction
4) Kill Bill pt1
5) Kill Bill pt2
Jimmy using that word had purpose. His comfort in saying it immediately establishes who he is and the kind of relationship he has with Jules.
enjoyed this very much!

"What if we had an alternate history where Tarantino was writing on everything coming out of Hollywood?"
Quentin has always been saying something meta textual. Some of the ideas are more oblique than others, but there’s always something there.
I haven't even seem all QT films (yet) but True Romance has been my favorite movie since I walked our of the theater in the 90's. Pulp Fiction is on the top five list as well.
The scene with Dennis Hopper and Christopher Walken from True Romance is still an all timer!
True Romance is a Tony Scott film. Tarantino wrote the screenplay, but Scott was director and made significant changes. The ending being somewhat happy for example. You're right, it's a brilliant film, but it gets disqualified on that basis.
I don't understand the uncomfort at the ending of Django....but then the elation on the same scene in Inglorious Bastards.....
They are bothered by the racial aspects of that film

I hated the Kill Bill films and his grind house movies but the other 7 are all good with these the best 5 of them. Number 6 would be the Hateful Eight and 7. Would be Django Unchained.

Pulp Fiction (At the time, "WTF?!! This kind of shit is all I want to see for the next decade!")
Bastards (You like witty suspenseful dialogue? Watch him do it in 4 languages.)
Reservoir Dogs (At the time, "Whoa this is special...")
Kill Bill V1 & 2 (QT counts them as one, they were shot simultaneously.)
Death Proof (Those are real practical old school car stunts.)
*Dusk 'til Dawn (Still so much fun and quote!)
Tarantino's probably my favorite director of all time, but I can't help feel his films post Bastards aren't as tight in pace, largely due probably to the death of Sally Menke, his long time editor since Dogs.
Are we counting Kill Bill Vol 1 & 2 count as one?
I personally do because Tarantino does he wanted it to be 1 movie

My top 4 In no particular order are the kill bill movies. Inglorious basterds, pulp fiction & Jackie brown. To this day I can't decide between those 4
If kill bill ain't in ur top 5, ur not having enough fun
I don't think most people talk like a Tarantino character, but I think we have all wished, perhaps in anger, we could talk that way in a given situation. By that I mean all the swearing and racial language. But we don't do that because we are civil and we give a damn about others. As much as we love many of the characters, they are often not civil people who don't give a damn about others. I think a lot of us sometimes fantasize about being an asshole. Especially those times when we have to deal with real assholes, and we wish we could just verbally demoralize them and then brutally kill them. But we're civilized, so we watch a Tarantino film instead.
1. Jackie Brown
2. Django
3. Hateful 8
4. Inglorious Bastards
5. Pulp Fiction
Although it was not his movie and he had a modest acting part, "Four Rooms" was pretty cool.
When Leo in Django swipes his blood on Kerry Washington face that was not scripted that was real blood . Whew can you imagine
How about a Quentin Tarantino remake of "Blazing Saddles??!!"
Tarantino's dialog is incredible
Haven't seen Jackie Brown, Hateful 8, or Once Upon a Time in Hollywood yet, so this list will probably change in the future:
1. Kill Bill vol. 1
2. Django Unchained
3. Reservoir Dogs
4. Pulp Fiction
5. Inglorious Bastards
KB vol 2 and Deathproof were... Alright, I guess. A little disappointing, but not really bad films in hindsight.
