This movie is great but it has one flaw and that is the money exchange sequence. It's too drawn out, it's not interesting enough to show the multiple perspectives, it could have been but it drags for too long.
When you do multiple perspectives of the same scene, something interesting should ideally be happening instead of just it playing out exactly how you're expecting it to play out.
Don't get me wrong, I love how relatively low stakes the plan is, I mean its not low stakes for the characters but it is a plan ordinary non-criminals could dream up, it's very grounded and I love that part but the shifting perspectives was just dragging.
The movie's problem is there's no twist or sudden turn save De Niro shooting Fonda, which, whilst the funniest and probably most memorable scene in the movie, still involved the supporting characters who we all knew weren't going to make it anyhow.
The first time you watch it you know an hour before the ending how it's going to end.
>grounded tone
I think you're confusing boredom for this. There are grounded movies where nothing happens of any significance that are more interesting than Jackie Brown.
I have a hard time believing you. Talk in specifics and don't use buzzwords like "grounded tone" or "fleshed out" blah blah blah whatever the frick cinemagay shit. Use normal language to describe why you found it interesting.

It's a known phenomenon that pseuds flock to this movie in droves because it's a lesser known Tarantino and they think it makes them special. I'm ready to accept that you genuinely like this movie if, and only if you can explain in normal language (no cinema buzzwords) what it is that you like about it.

I don't think saying "grounded" counts as a buzzword, especially not when talking about Tarantinos filmography because it specifically stands out among all his films as grounded.
Normal language would be that I enjoy it because of how relaxing a movie it is, it's relatable and immersive, it puts you in that setting with those people and they all feel like convincing people.
It's simply a very chill movie. it's like a comfy episode of a tv show you really like

Sure. When I watched it the first time, I definitely went in with certain expectations because all my friends had spoken about it exactly like that "I don't love Tarantino that much but this is his best!" and I liked it but it wasn't until my 3rd rewatch of it that it truly clicked for me, maybe getting older also helped I don't know, I certainly haven't grown snobbier or into more of a pseud.

There's nothing to debate, I'm not going to challenge what you like about the movie so long as it's not using snobby filmgay language. You can tell me you like it because you want to frick Pam Grier for all I care. Just don't be the homosexual that pretends to like a movie because he thinks it makes him special.

You're using a vague single word do describe what you like about the entirety of a movie when asked specifically what it was that you liked. Literally all it takes is for you pseuds to describe a scene from the fricking movie that you liked or describe what you liked about a character but you can't even do that. You probably haven't even watched it.

Literally the bare minimum you could have done was say something like you like the music or you like an actor's performance but you can't.
I never cared for Jackie Brown. Got told by a guy at work it was Tarantino's best. None of the characters are interesting, nothing they do is interesting, nothing happens. It's all just a vehicle for Tarantino's snarky "clever" dialogue. Guess what? If I can tell you wrote the dialogue for a movie and guess right nearly every time it just goes to show you have no versatility as a writer.
>his Four Rooms segment
Am I the only one who fricking loved this? It's based on an old Hitchwiener story with Steve McQueen and Peter Lorre. I wanted to hang out with QT and Bruce Willis in that suite for the whole movie. It completely mogged all the other sections.
unironically his best. a love letter to vanishing point, dirty mary crazy larry, white line fever, convoy, and the og gone in 60 seconds mixed with a slasher flick.
Both the short version and the directors cut suck.
The short one is too short (cuts out some good bits) but the director's cut is too long and has too much bullshit.
There's a better film in there somewhere.
1. Pulp Fiction
2. Jackie Brown
3. Kill Bill
4. Once Upon a Time in Hollywood
5. Inglorious Bastards
6. Reservoir Dogs
7. Django Unchained
8. Hateful Eight
kill bill would be among best if it was one movie and without a tone of filler.
reservoir dogs is almost like a rough and unpolished version of hateful 8, it really doesn't hold up after rewatching it
jackie brown is solid, but nothing exceptional
once upon a time is one of the worst movies i ever sat through. normally id turn it off after 40 minutes tops, but i powered through only because it was tarantulas movie. beating the piss out of bruce lee almost makes it worth it tho
Django is his worst movie BY FAR.
Jackie Brown is his only good film, all the characters are real and could easily exist in the real world, not to mention the use of real life locations, distances ect, the best and most solid dialogue among his movies, plus the only soundtrack that fits the narrative
all his other films are capeship with OH SO RANDOM AND WACKY soundtrack XD
Tarantino says that directors get worse as they age, but how does that explain how his best film is his second to last film? (and he agrees apparently with PF being his "most important" work)
1. Rez Dawgs
2. Pulp
3. Once in Holly
4. Kill Billz
5. H8
6. IBS
7. Death
8. Django
9. Proof
Here is the real list.
1. Pulp fuction: only a contrarian would disagree. People ITT are probably too young to realize what a game changer it was when it released. By far the most quotable and re-watchable.
2 & 3. Reservoir dogs & Jackie brown: order is up for debate.
4. Inglourious basterds: apart from some weird casting (especially Brad Pitt) the opening scene is S-tier and Hands Landa is one of the best Tarantino characters of all time.
5. Kill bill: extremely entertaining and visceral action movie. Perfectly casted. People who rate this film low probably don't appreciate martial arts films.
6. Once upon a time in hollywood: there is a good movie in there somewhere but Quentin did not trim the fat.
7. Django unchained: same flaws as OUaTiH but to a greater extent.
8. Hateful eight: again, same major flaw of a lack of self-editing. The scenes are too. Fricking. Long.

9. Django, Deathproof, Once upon a time
Only movie i have problem with on your list is hateful 8. It maybe goes in great detail but it tells a straightforward story, characters are great, actors are great, mystery and tension is top notch. Maybe im just biased towards movies with restricted space
Reservoir dogs and Jackie brown are solid movies, but just not hard hitters like Pulp, H8 and Basterds
Kill Bill feels too long. It shoud've been shorter or had more targets to kill. As it is, i cant put it above dogs, but it is slightly ahead of Jackie brown
Deathproof was good idea, but poor execution, it should've been more like "joy ride" with paul walker and less of a ride-along
My biggest problems with Django are jamie fox, music and uninteresting story. Candyland characters improve it a little bit, but overall the movie is really underwhelming
Finally, the worst of all, once upon a time... idk about you, but im not an 70 year old ex showbusiness man, so all of that "slice of time" bullshit means close to nothing to me. There is no story. Lets spend 3 hours with this lame ass "has-been actor" and only reward to sufering through it is cliff beating the piss out of bruce lee and a shootout at the end, that is nothing to write home about. especialy when you became braindead after 3 hours of bullshit
even though they are not true tarantino films, i would put true romance and from dusk till dawn above django, once upon a time and deathproof
>I loved it personally. The setting and atmosphere are top tier, the cast of characters are all really good (Channing Tatum being the sole exception)
couldnt agree more. luckily his role was small
kill bill would be among best if it was one movie and without a tone of filler.

H8 was a commentary on American race relations that made Django feel extremely subtle and nuanced. It was Tarantino at his most preachy, which is partly why its the worst. And unlike Django, there also aren't any characters to root for, so there is no catharsis. Don't get me started on using 70mm just to film the inside of a cabin.
OUATIH is Tarantino talking about a subject where he is incredibly knowledgeable and has the most affinity for. He has a lot to say and I am along for the ride. Props for the generous deal Sony gave Tarantino as well on the filmmaking process.

The Hateful Eight is one of QTs best efforts and certainly showcases his astonishing talent for writing dialogue. The eccentricity of shooting it in 70mm only added to its larger than life qualities. All the acting was superb. Bruce Dern managed to shine without getting up from that chair except to rise and get blown away by the Major's gun. Kurt Russell surprised the shit outta me with a flawless, believable, funny John Ruth. Jennifer Jason Leigh deserved an oscar for her Daisy Domergue. Samuel Jackson was flawless, as usual. H8 is a masterpiece of writng and direction. All I can say is... 4 measly bullets and there goes senior Bob. Hahaha

That scene ruined an overall fun movie. It wasn't even necessary. It just felt fetishististic

i wouldn't say it's his only good film, but the rest i agree with. saw it recently saw for the first time and it was fantastic
You're moron with no idea what you're talking about.
Tell me how Hateful 8 was capeshit or wacky.
>all the characters are real
All the characters have a single character trait each.
The chapter giving the flashback with that awful aussie stuntwoman ruined it. Also the out of the blue narration.
Lazy filmmaking.
With this and Joker, the summer of 2019 was great for kino.
I was being 100% unironic for the record.

I understand that Sam Jackson made that story up to bait Bruce Dern into attacking him but I also didn’t need to see it acted out
It's tied with Django, Westerns aren't supposed to be vulgar and the Black person worship doesn't fit the genre at all.
