Well except it doesn’t. Hateful 8 is dialogue heavy. People that can’t get through “Le bOriNg TaLkiNg ScEnEs” are without exception low brain capacity people that need marvel and Michael bay explosions to pay attention to something for 2 hours (let alone 3).
So, just like a coffee filter that catches the dregs so they don’t get into the delicious beverage, a good movie catches people too moronic to consume it and “filters them.” QED and kys Black person
Hateful 8 being bad has nothing to do with it being boring you stupid gay. It's only 15 minutes longer than Hollywood. It's hated because it's shitty antiwhite nonsense
>a good movie catches people too moronic to consume it and “filters them.”
You know how a filter works right? I got filtered because my galaxy-sized brain wouldn't fit through the mesh. Your tiny single-molecule brain however slipped right through.
He only got story credit on NBK. I like that movie a lot, but he didn't get writing credit.
It's either True Romance or the co-writing credit on From Dusk Till Dawn. Likely True Romance.
>4 men sitting in a room >Man 1: Pulp Fiction >Man 2: Pulp Fiction >Man 3: Pulp Fiction >Man 4: ........Jackie Brown!! >All men gasp with pleasure, finish jerking each other off and go home
It's pretty lousy and it's the "intellectual" contrarian's favorite. It's not the worst movie ever, but his best? Just nonsense.
Watch it then watch The Terror again.
how do you come to the conclusion that any of his other films are good starting with the obvious pulp fiction
his filmography is straight trash save for this movie
It’s a low level simple story for midwits, so of course they celebrate it. Also Patricia arquette is dumbfrick dem b***h that was literally only sort of hot in this movie
>Pulp #1
99% of people will say the same thing and that's because it's the correct opinion. >Basterds that low
I don't like it all that much. It's three great scenes and a bunch of filler that barely feels connected.
i dunno why my brain translated that into this format, but it sorta seems funny to me. like some schizo having a theory on some conspiracy they figured out from the tarantino movies
King isn't bad, he just writes too much. I haven't kept up. The last thing I read was From a Buick 8 which was just... whatever. It was forgettable.
He's not painful, he's not awful. Surely he has enough money, but he seems determined to set some sort of record. I remember he was mildly steamed to learn that JK Rowling had become the first billionaire from authorship alone. Has he hit a billy yet?
lmao as someone who reads a lot of slop King is like the king of unreadable dogshit that gets adapted into something fun.
His biggest selling point is his ideas, but he inevitably ruins them with his writing.
Like the Running Man book has an insanely good premise, setup and ending which accounts for like 20 pages total. This is then followed by 200 pages of him sperging on about the magic of hood Black folk being the only ones smart enough to stay away from TV and go to a public library, learning about the evils of air pollution and making masks to filter it with their superior nog science against the evils of whitey's bloodthirst. This is also not even his worst work on this stuff, some books are basically just him sperging on about how much he hates white america and imagining up all the evils white men and white children do. (while living exclusively in all-white neighborhoods in Maine and Florida his entire life)
Dude's a complete and utter fricking blowhard.
Tarantino has that problem a lot where a movie is good on a first watch but because it relies so much on the "what's gonna happen next" tension, it's really not worth rewatching.
I think the opposite. He likes to makes the sort of movies he deems a "hangout movie" where the most important thing is the dialogue and enjoying the characters just talking and hanging out
Pulp, Basterds, Reservoir, Jackie in that order, and then the rest don't matter
If we're including True Romance it is equal to Reservoir
I haven't seen Hollywood but I have seen all the rest
I always thought Jackie Brown was his worst movie even though it's seen now as the "patrician" choice. I don't think Tarantino's and Leonard's writing styles mixed well at all. My favorite is Once Upon a Time in Hollywood and it's not even close.

Yeah, her breasts are sensational. It's just a pity her nudes were before trimmed pussies became a thing. The only thing holding her back from perfection is the carpet instead of a perfectly trimmed bush.
>Pretty faced, thicc negress
I get why he's happy. I wonder how long it takes her to straighten her hair like that though? Most don't even bother, they just wear wigs.
Jackie Brown is underrated but you have to be a huge contrarian to pick it as the best Tarantino's movie.
Gunn is reddit to the core, so it only makes sense that he did that.
thats the typical "contrarian" answer and as a whole its correct. its one of his more adult films thats toned down compared to his other stuff. personally reservoir dogs is my favorite as its a lot more rewatchable and quoteable. jackie brown isnt quoteable and you dont put that on at a night with the boys, youd watch pulp fiction or reservoir dogs and have some drinks. jackie brown you watch for yourself and appreciate it as film and afterwards look up pam griers nudie scenes in other films then go to sleep after a little jungle fever indulgence goon session
funny that you quoted me there. you couldnt quote a scene from jackie brown without looking it up or having watched it shortly before. the tipping discussion in reservoir dogs is infinetly more memorable than anything said in jackie brown. pulp fiction has multiple scenes like that. the burger scene, the psalm recital execution, the diner scene. these are iconic and revered, parodied and referenced throughout movie history. jackie brown doesnt have that impact.
for a long time this was my number 1 but after a recent rewatch i think grier's performance was a pretty weak overall. this now comfortably sits at 3 after pulp and dogs for me.
still a great movie and my all time favourite sam jackson performance. and the whole sam kills chris tucker sequence might be the best thing tarantino has ever made.
solo? yeah all the other good ones he had that co-writer keeping his stupidity in check. solo its definitely Jackie Brown all his other solo shit sucks.
I kind of agree. The problems that the characters go through are sensible and not overindulgent displays of misery porn that borders on snuff. What the frick was the point of The Bride being raped while in a coma? She already got shot in the head and lost her kid. You'd think that would be enough to overcome for one character. Most of his other movies have this problem too.
His best is Pulp Fiction and anyone saying otherwise is just being a pseud contrarian. Jackie Brown is his most down to Earth film though so naturally the go to for people who hate his style. It’s like how people prefer Inside Man to any other movie Spike Lee has made.
>GOOD >BAD >BETTER >WORSE >CORRECT >WRONG
jesus christ this board is shit, nobody has any argument to support their claimsm it's just monosyllabic pointlessness
Jackie Brown was so boring. They spend 2/3rds of the movie planning out a heist that goes absolutely 100% according to plan. I'm not sure what i was expecting, but that certainly wasn't it.

They're all by the same guy. Hollywood is an elaborate fantasy that ends up saving a israeli (Polanski's) child by killing the people who wanted to start a race war.
Jackie Brown is a great movie. Everything about it is great really. Problem is that it is decisively the least “Tarantino-y” of Tarantino’s movies. It doesn’t feel like nobody else could’ve made it the way everything else he’s done feels to varying degrees. Hence, why it’s the hipster choice.
I wouldn’t lump Tarantino in with Burton. Burton is entirely window dressing. Big studios just finally recognized in the late 80s that gay goth 14 year olds go to movies too.
At least Tarantino can write good dialogue and set up/pay off plot points in linear and non linear fashion. He also goes for themes in a direct and crass way that most other mainstream directors wouldn’t these days.
Because it’s similar in themes and structure to reservoir dogs is what you’re getting at I’m guessing?
The thing that sets Tarantino apart from Burton or Anderson is at least he has a signature thematic story structure to fall back on that he’s good at. Burton and Anderson are all aesthetic. Burton covers everything in spindly gay emo shit because there’s no story and Anderson makes everything twee I’m gonna whip pan to my quirky characters standing in a big open area doing nothing because there’s no story.
If tarantinos not your thing that’s fine but he’s a competent writer and director that is certainly at least a little more than one note.
>Problem is that it is decisively the least “Tarantino-y” of Tarantino’s movies
that's not the problem of the movie though. that's the problem of tarantino. and the pseud "fans" of his "directing style".
Reservoir Dogs > Kill Bill Vol.1 > Pulp Fiction > Jackie Brown > True Romance > Once Upon a Time in Hollywood > The Hateful Eight > Kill Bill Vol. 2 > Inglorious Basterds > Django Unchained > Death Proof
Reservoir was new and interesting. Small, dialogue driven, violent, theatrical.
Pulp was so stylistically unique it basically created a sub-genre of film that hacks have been trying to rip off unsuccessfully ever since. It is his best and most influential and there’s no question about it.
Jackie is a departure stylistically and a classy nod to exploitation films. Doesn’t ooze Tarantino feel though.
The Kill Bill movies are Tarantino out the god damn wazoo. Peak signature style cranked to 11.
Inglorious hones in everything he’s done before and introduces historical revisionism. Last one with his editor because she kicked the bucket shortly after this one came out.
Django = “what if every other word in the movie was Black person…but it’s good because slave is hero?” Definitely miss that editor b***h. Probably his funniest movie and peak violence though.
H8 = resevoir dogs + John carpenters the thing. Shot on 70 mm. Kino as frick. Most “theatrical” of his movies.
Once Upon is great but not the second fricking coming like some homosexuals think. Back to the history revisionism well. Pretty meta which is kinda cool if you’re into that as far as the themes go. Love letter to a bygone era.

The hell was he even doing with Hateful 8? I thought that was gearing up to be some of western The Thing whodunit but it just comes up with the dumbest twist out of nowhere. Imagine getting Morricone, 70mm stock, all those good actors and nobody stopped and said "this story sucks".
Sounds way better than Hateful 8, for sure. There's so much chekov's gun shit lying around just so he can subvert expectations. Had a Rian Johnson moment.
The thing that baffles me is the cinematography of Jackie Brown. In both Reservoir Dogs & Pulp Fiction they were both highly stylised and shot on anamorphic that’s aged very well and yet Jackie Brown was filmed in 1.85 format with less stylised camera moves (only Opening credits, scene with Samuel Jackson & Chris Tucker come to mind) and whatnot. If feels a bit cheaper than his first two films. My theory is that he wanted to breakaway from his first films and do a more ‘grown up’ type of film that’s wasn’t purely referential. Trying to shoot a more toned down film and not as hyper stylised cinematography. It’s an interesting choice but I don’t know if it worked or not.
Boy you guys will probably despise me for even liking Deathproof. Mostly for Kurt and his acting and all car scenes because I am a sucker for well done car action scenes. Not his best film because booooooooring dialogue but a fun one.
It's his most forgettable and least rewatchable films.
I've seen most of his movies multiple times and Jackie Brown only once.
I don't like Robert DeNiro and I don't like sheboons.
Pseud. Tarantino only even made this to a) prove he could make something like this and then get back to doing what he actually wanted to b) try to win Pam Grier an Oscar c) defuse the impossible to live up to hype coming off of pulp fiction. Jackie Brown is the Tarantino movie Tarantino doesn't care about, it was him doing his director chores.
Jackie Brown is mid like most heist movies. It's fun to watch once then every rewatch it gets worse until it's unwatchable.
How am I supposed to get invested when the whole plot revolves around the heist going right and I already know how it all goes off? It can sometimes work if you have really likable characters that win in the end, cause then you rewatch to see them win again, but the only likable character is surfer b***h who to not spoil does not win. So unless Tarantino is being self deprecating he's an idiot for saying that.
>How am I supposed to get invested when the whole plot revolves around the heist going right and I already know how it all goes off?
Any good story is journey not destination.
Kill Bill is definitely top 5. It's made well with real effort and just badass and fun. Pulp fiction too. Also of his are good but those are his 2 best

>Hmmm, which Tarantula film is the least popular and has less cool stuff in it than the the other ones do so I can sound unique and sophisticated? Oh I know! Jackei Brown!
Why do people like Hollywood? There's nothing interesting about the characters, story, or dialogue, as opposed to his 90s films. At least it isn't just cartoon violence like his 2000s movies, but it still pales in comparison to RD, PF, and JB.
Tarentino's most boring film was Jakie Brown. An hour too long. His best film was Resevoir Dogs. He peaked at Pulp Fiction and its been downhill ever since.
Pulp Fiction>Jackie Brown>Inglorious Basterds>Kill Bill Vol 1>Reservoir Dogs>Kill Bill Vol 2>Hateful 8>Once Upon a Time in Hollywood>Death Proof>Django Unchained
James Gunn is a massive homosexual.
That being said, he's actually correct about this.
Jackie Brown is easily the best Tarantino film. Probably because he didn't write it.
On a rewatch in 2023, only Foster + Grier's chemistry stands out. Just like Kill Bill is too derivative if cheeky, only Carradine + Uma's reunion has heat.
Jackie Brown is probably the best of the 90's New-blaxsploitation wave, but it's a pretty average movie. I don't like Tarantino's edgy teenager style at all though, so I wouldn't presume to rank his movies against each other.
Good choice

Very gay opinions. Go back to being a nig
Use of "filtered" just seems to mean that someone doesn't have any actual arguments and has no idea what he's talking about.

Tarantino is the stephen king of directing.
Most of Tarantino's creative output is at least decent or thereabouts. In creative output King sits atop a mountain of absolute shit.
King isn't bad, he just writes too much. I haven't kept up. The last thing I read was From a Buick 8 which was just... whatever. It was forgettable.
He's not painful, he's not awful. Surely he has enough money, but he seems determined to set some sort of record. I remember he was mildly steamed to learn that JK Rowling had become the first billionaire from authorship alone. Has he hit a billy yet?

I thought Misery and Salems Lotbwere actually reasonably well written, and more importantly had a compelling plot and decent settings.
I read Misery in one sitting.
There is a clear Pre-Accident King and Post-Accident King
Running Man was written nearly 20 years before he got hit by a van.
he has some bangers, like The Stand and i read some of the Dark Tower and it was alright
COMP'D
Contrarian dipshit take
It’s easily his worst movie. Even worse then hateful 8 and that’s saying something
I liked The Hateful 8 when I first watched it but never gave it a second viewing. Not even the extended episodic version Netflix or whoever put out.
Tarantino has that problem a lot where a movie is good on a first watch but because it relies so much on the "what's gonna happen next" tension, it's really not worth rewatching.
Death Proof doesn't have that problem. It gets better even knowing what happens next.
I think the opposite. He likes to makes the sort of movies he deems a "hangout movie" where the most important thing is the dialogue and enjoying the characters just talking and hanging out
Jackie Brown being his worst movie is just as much of a contrarian dipshit take as claiming it's his best movie.
It's his least popular besides Death Proof so it's the expected choice, not the contrarian one.
>omg is this a movie with a female Black person protag!? Ceeeeeertified freeeeeesh!
Correct. Jackie brown is borderline unwatchable
It's good but Reservoir Dogs will always be my favorite. I think it may be his only movie that doesn't insist upon itself, actually.
yup
my old b***h is fine like jackie brown
i dont wanna love her, shes too down
Reservoir Dogs is my favorite
HEY GUYS I THINK TARANTINOS BEST MOVIE IS THE LEAST POPULAR ONE
I AM SO SMART, PLEASE CLAP!
The least popular is Kill Bill Volume 2. Or it was before the Manson one. That might be even less popular.
Kill Bill was a genuine cultural phenomenon you zoomer moron
For me its true romance.
True.
plebs who like 2000s tarantino can sneed and cope
It's a very fun movie and way before Tarantino indulged heavily/overused all of his now trademarks
Pulp, Basterds, Reservoir, Jackie in that order, and then the rest don't matter
If we're including True Romance it is equal to Reservoir
I haven't seen Hollywood but I have seen all the rest
I always thought Jackie Brown was his worst movie even though it's seen now as the "patrician" choice. I don't think Tarantino's and Leonard's writing styles mixed well at all. My favorite is Once Upon a Time in Hollywood and it's not even close.

WHY DIDN'T YOU GO WITH HER, MAX FUUUUCK
She was a con artist
Max knew this, and so choose to keep the good memories of their encounter rather than getting conned down the line
Also his last good movie
reminder that you should watch barry shear's across 110th street if you love JB so much
for a long time this was my number 1 but after a recent rewatch i think grier's performance was a pretty weak overall. this now comfortably sits at 3 after pulp and dogs for me.
still a great movie and my all time favourite sam jackson performance. and the whole sam kills chris tucker sequence might be the best thing tarantino has ever made.
pulp and dogs weren't tarantino writing solo.
Jackie was white in the book, Tarantino blackwashed the character.
am i the only one who thought QUAT wasn't very good at all?
No
its a collection of scenes and cool things and homages, not a movie. those scenes and cool things and homages are pretty cool though.
yep, and that's a great song
solo? yeah all the other good ones he had that co-writer keeping his stupidity in check. solo its definitely Jackie Brown all his other solo shit sucks.
His best movie is just adapting the work of a far superior writer. Makes the sides hurt.
Jackie Brown is an adaptation too? or do you mean Reservoir Dogs?
it's based on 'rum punch' by elmore leonard.
so basically anytime Tarantino doesnt have source material or a co-writer to guide him, he writes a shitty revenge-fantasy movie.
I kind of agree. The problems that the characters go through are sensible and not overindulgent displays of misery porn that borders on snuff. What the frick was the point of The Bride being raped while in a coma? She already got shot in the head and lost her kid. You'd think that would be enough to overcome for one character. Most of his other movies have this problem too.
His best is Pulp Fiction and anyone saying otherwise is just being a pseud contrarian. Jackie Brown is his most down to Earth film though so naturally the go to for people who hate his style. It’s like how people prefer Inside Man to any other movie Spike Lee has made.
he had a co-writer keeping him in check for Pulp Fiction
the man needs discipline which is why he's a submissive footgay
Pulp Fiction is sure his most influential but I've never especially cared for it as a movie.
The Whole Bloody Affair > Pulp >>>>>>>>>> Jackie Brown
Every other scene is still iconic 20 years later. Only contrarian homosexuals don't like it.
>GOOD
>BAD
>BETTER
>WORSE
>CORRECT
>WRONG
jesus christ this board is shit, nobody has any argument to support their claimsm it's just monosyllabic pointlessness
wrong
Maybe not best best, but definitely up there and underrated.
Jackie Brown was so boring. They spend 2/3rds of the movie planning out a heist that goes absolutely 100% according to plan. I'm not sure what i was expecting, but that certainly wasn't it.

Why do you make an exception for Hollywood if you hate revised history?
Because it's not a israeli or black fantasies. You asked.
They're all by the same guy. Hollywood is an elaborate fantasy that ends up saving a israeli (Polanski's) child by killing the people who wanted to start a race war.
Everyone says this as some "gotcha" choice
same people that say Barry Lyndon is best Kubrick
Jackie Brown is a great movie. Everything about it is great really. Problem is that it is decisively the least “Tarantino-y” of Tarantino’s movies. It doesn’t feel like nobody else could’ve made it the way everything else he’s done feels to varying degrees. Hence, why it’s the hipster choice.
It's his last one before going down the Tim Burton endless hole of memery
I wouldn’t lump Tarantino in with Burton. Burton is entirely window dressing. Big studios just finally recognized in the late 80s that gay goth 14 year olds go to movies too.
At least Tarantino can write good dialogue and set up/pay off plot points in linear and non linear fashion. He also goes for themes in a direct and crass way that most other mainstream directors wouldn’t these days.
Hateful 8 is pure Burton-Wes andersonisation though
Because it’s similar in themes and structure to reservoir dogs is what you’re getting at I’m guessing?
The thing that sets Tarantino apart from Burton or Anderson is at least he has a signature thematic story structure to fall back on that he’s good at. Burton and Anderson are all aesthetic. Burton covers everything in spindly gay emo shit because there’s no story and Anderson makes everything twee I’m gonna whip pan to my quirky characters standing in a big open area doing nothing because there’s no story.
If tarantinos not your thing that’s fine but he’s a competent writer and director that is certainly at least a little more than one note.
>Problem is that it is decisively the least “Tarantino-y” of Tarantino’s movies
that's not the problem of the movie though. that's the problem of tarantino. and the pseud "fans" of his "directing style".
Putting words in quotations doesn’t make you look smart
>t. "fan" of hackerino's "directing style"
I'm not a big fan of Tarantino either but you sound like a homosexual
okay
I thought jackie brown was okay but didn't tarantino himself say it's his best film?
More like his last good film.
What's with this reverence toward Jackie Brown? While I liked it I'd hardly call it Tarantino's best.
Thought it was a B movie made for the TV.
I like Pam and how she gained so much weight since her blaxploitation days.
It's Once Uppon a Time in Hollywood
>wanna frick?
why does this never happen to me
it happened to me, and i said no because she was cute but bawdy and also i like to be seduced and also i had a girlfriend
Reservoir Dogs > Kill Bill Vol.1 > Pulp Fiction > Jackie Brown > True Romance > Once Upon a Time in Hollywood > The Hateful Eight > Kill Bill Vol. 2 > Inglorious Basterds > Django Unchained > Death Proof
he's right
Reservoir was new and interesting. Small, dialogue driven, violent, theatrical.
Pulp was so stylistically unique it basically created a sub-genre of film that hacks have been trying to rip off unsuccessfully ever since. It is his best and most influential and there’s no question about it.
Jackie is a departure stylistically and a classy nod to exploitation films. Doesn’t ooze Tarantino feel though.
The Kill Bill movies are Tarantino out the god damn wazoo. Peak signature style cranked to 11.
Inglorious hones in everything he’s done before and introduces historical revisionism. Last one with his editor because she kicked the bucket shortly after this one came out.
Django = “what if every other word in the movie was Black person…but it’s good because slave is hero?” Definitely miss that editor b***h. Probably his funniest movie and peak violence though.
H8 = resevoir dogs + John carpenters the thing. Shot on 70 mm. Kino as frick. Most “theatrical” of his movies.
Once Upon is great but not the second fricking coming like some homosexuals think. Back to the history revisionism well. Pretty meta which is kinda cool if you’re into that as far as the themes go. Love letter to a bygone era.
I didn’t know you liked the Delphonics
He is correct
Jackie Brown gave me Drive vibes
1. OUATIH
2. Pulp
3. Reservoir dogs

5. Django
6. Bill 1
7. Bill 2
8. Four rooms (The Man From Hollywood)
9. Death proof
10. Hateful 8
11. Jackie brown.
1) Four Rooms
he hasn't really made any good movies
same
or maybe second after pulp fiction
nostalgia ok
Second half of Death Proof mogs the rest of his filmography.
Quentin is right, OUATIH is his magnum opus
The hell was he even doing with Hateful 8? I thought that was gearing up to be some of western The Thing whodunit but it just comes up with the dumbest twist out of nowhere. Imagine getting Morricone, 70mm stock, all those good actors and nobody stopped and said "this story sucks".
Sally Menke wasn't around anymore to tardwrangle him.
you suck and your opinion does too. read some agatha christie, you dunce
Sounds way better than Hateful 8, for sure. There's so much chekov's gun shit lying around just so he can subvert expectations. Had a Rian Johnson moment.
nah
King's best movie was Maximum Overdrive.
You can't dispute it.
The thing that baffles me is the cinematography of Jackie Brown. In both Reservoir Dogs & Pulp Fiction they were both highly stylised and shot on anamorphic that’s aged very well and yet Jackie Brown was filmed in 1.85 format with less stylised camera moves (only Opening credits, scene with Samuel Jackson & Chris Tucker come to mind) and whatnot. If feels a bit cheaper than his first two films. My theory is that he wanted to breakaway from his first films and do a more ‘grown up’ type of film that’s wasn’t purely referential. Trying to shoot a more toned down film and not as hyper stylised cinematography. It’s an interesting choice but I don’t know if it worked or not.
Disagree, the mall shots were amazing as was the end sequence when Robbie has lost his mind. The tight angles and smoke really frick that shit up.
Boy you guys will probably despise me for even liking Deathproof. Mostly for Kurt and his acting and all car scenes because I am a sucker for well done car action scenes. Not his best film because booooooooring dialogue but a fun one.
It was really kino. Can we count Planet Terror, From Dusk till Dawn, and True Romance?
True Romance. Out of the directed ones Reservoir Dogs.
I like Jackie Brown but on the last watch it wasn't anywhere near as good as I remembered.
Every time I watch Jackie Brown I fall in love with Kino all over again.
the one in white clothes is cute
Why are black girls so tempting?
Reservoir Dogs > Jackie Brown > Pulp Fiction
>journo anon plz write propaganda without telling us it's propaganda
homosexuals giving legit answers
he made three good movies so it's not that hard to pick.
>reservoir dogs
>jackie brown
>inglourious basterds
>once upon a time in hollywood
That's four though.
It's his most forgettable and least rewatchable films.
I've seen most of his movies multiple times and Jackie Brown only once.
I don't like Robert DeNiro and I don't like sheboons.
if you deliberately rewatch any hackerinoslop (save JB which isnt slop) you're a fricking moron
Pseud. Tarantino only even made this to a) prove he could make something like this and then get back to doing what he actually wanted to b) try to win Pam Grier an Oscar c) defuse the impossible to live up to hype coming off of pulp fiction. Jackie Brown is the Tarantino movie Tarantino doesn't care about, it was him doing his director chores.
It's Reservoir Dogs and the rest of his movies are okay. Very style over substance.
>style over substance
lmao, dipshit
did you like the cinematography? hahahaha
Jackie Brown is mid like most heist movies. It's fun to watch once then every rewatch it gets worse until it's unwatchable.
How am I supposed to get invested when the whole plot revolves around the heist going right and I already know how it all goes off? It can sometimes work if you have really likable characters that win in the end, cause then you rewatch to see them win again, but the only likable character is surfer b***h who to not spoil does not win. So unless Tarantino is being self deprecating he's an idiot for saying that.
Best:
Four Rooms
True Romance
Kill Bill Vol 1
>How am I supposed to get invested when the whole plot revolves around the heist going right and I already know how it all goes off?
Any good story is journey not destination.
You have autism.
Jacky Brown was his last good movie.
Kill Bill is definitely top 5. It's made well with real effort and just badass and fun. Pulp fiction too. Also of his are good but those are his 2 best
>just badass and fun
it is tho
>Once Upon a Time
>Kill Bill 2
>Kill Bill 1
>Reservoir Dogs
>Death Proof
>***Four Rooms & Sin City & From Dusk Till Dawn
>Pulp Fiction
>Hateful 8
>Django Unchained
>Inglourious Basterds
>Jackie Brown
>My Best Friend's Birthday
He's not wrong.
If anyone asked me what my favorite Tarantino movie is id fricking laugh at them and tell them I don't watch garbage.
psued answer
>Hmmm, which Tarantula film is the least popular and has less cool stuff in it than the the other ones do so I can sound unique and sophisticated? Oh I know! Jackei Brown!
Why do people like Hollywood? There's nothing interesting about the characters, story, or dialogue, as opposed to his 90s films. At least it isn't just cartoon violence like his 2000s movies, but it still pales in comparison to RD, PF, and JB.
Nah. It's very bland compared to his good shir
It's Pulp Fiction. When Tarantino dies there won't be one news report mentioning Jackie Brown anywhere.
It's his most mature work.
Pulp fiction and Reservoir Dogs are the only good movies he has ever directed. The rest of them are overrated mid movies or trash even.
Tarentino's most boring film was Jakie Brown. An hour too long. His best film was Resevoir Dogs. He peaked at Pulp Fiction and its been downhill ever since.
itÄs not even his best Black person movie
1 Reservoir Dogs
2 Inglourious Basterds
3 Pulp Fiction
Jackie Brown has good black people music.
Official QT film ranking:
Pulp Fiction>Jackie Brown>Inglorious Basterds>Kill Bill Vol 1>Reservoir Dogs>Kill Bill Vol 2>Hateful 8>Once Upon a Time in Hollywood>Death Proof>Django Unchained
James Gunn is a massive homosexual.
That being said, he's actually correct about this.
Jackie Brown is easily the best Tarantino film. Probably because he didn't write it.
Jackie Brown suck balls. Tarantula's best kino is Desperado.

On a rewatch in 2023, only Foster + Grier's chemistry stands out. Just like Kill Bill is too derivative if cheeky, only Carradine + Uma's reunion has heat.
The scene where Jackson is getting ready to ice that guy, and has Strawberry Letter 23 playing in his car is pretty kino.
Jackie Brown is probably the best of the 90's New-blaxsploitation wave, but it's a pretty average movie. I don't like Tarantino's edgy teenager style at all though, so I wouldn't presume to rank his movies against each other.
