tough to rank them....i pretty much dig all of them except the kill bill series.

Out of My Mind and Time

Does True Romance count? He wrote it but Tony Scott directed it.

My list matches your except True Romance #3. Kill Bills were tough to watch. Except Uma in tights.

There are seven movies considered Tarantino's:

Django Unchained
Inglorious Bastards
Kill Bill 1 and 2 (which were originally intended to be just one movie but the studio told him no one would sit through a 4 hour samurai marathon)
Pulp Fiction
Jackie Brown
Reservoir Dogs

Tarantino also wrote True Romance, which is a fucking great film if you haven't seen it. The reason it's not considered his movie, is that he didn't direct and produce it. The story goes that he brought Reservoir Dogs and True Romance to the studio at the same time, and the studio loved both... however they told him, they would only let him make one (on a limited budget to boot) and the other he had to give them to let someone else make... Tarantino chose Reservoir Dogs.... however, he still wound up heavily involved in the making of True Romance.

As for deathproof (and same with Machete)- it's not considered a Tarantino film, as he and the other guy (he name eludes me right now) collaborated so much in the making of both movies.

Personally, my list looks like this:

Pulp Fiction
Kill Bill Vol 2
Inglorious Bastards
Kill Bill Vol 1
Reservoir Dogs
Django Unchained
Jackie Brown

But realistically speaking those first 5 are all so good, they're tough to separate. Masterpiece all IMO.

** Still havent seen Django Unchained damnit!

These are my favorite in order:
True Romance (all time favorite movie)
Pulp Fiction
Reservoir Dogs
Inglorious Bastards

These are just OK:
Jackie Brown
Four Rooms (was this tarantino?)

Sucked donkey balls:
Kill Bills I and II
Death Proof

Wasnt there an Iron Fists flick or something too?

I need to see the Kill Bill films again

he.who.forgets

Havent yet seen Django, but Pulp Fiction is definitely my #1. I'd probably put Basterds at 2, Reservoir Dogs at #3, Jackie Brown at #4 and the Kill Bills last.

uninnocent-

My ranking:

1. Reservoir Dogs
2. Kill Bill vol. 1
3. Kill Bill vol. 2 (if counted as a whole, Kill Bill takes the #1 spot)
4. Django Unchained
5. Jackie Brown
6. Inglorious Basterds
7. Pulp Fiction

The bottom movies are still better than most other directors could ever dream of making.

Haven't seen Django Unchained yet, so my incomplete list looks like this:

1. Jackie Brown
2. Kill Bill (vols. 1 & 2)
3. Pulp Fiction
4. Reservoir Dogs
5. Inglourious Basterds

Empty Glass

Reservoir Dogs is #1
Pulp Fiction #2

Kill Bill's are at the bottom

Everything else fits in the middle.

Haven't seen the new one and really wasn't going to with such a decline after the top two. May change my mind, hearing good things on Django

Reservoir Dogs
Pulp Fiction

Everything else is overrated.

I do believe I agree with this statement. Reservoir Dogs, imo, will never be topped.

I don't understand the hatred for Kill Bill in here...

it was an excellent movie both Vol 1 and 2... taken as one movie, it would be my number 1 over pulp fiction... the story, the editing, and piecing together... the whole thing was a masterpiece.

Tarantino has lent his name (and provided $) to a lot of foreign films... mainly they are all films that are made overseas (typically china/japan as he's into the classic story of "vengeance" these movies exhibit - i.e. see Kill Bill).... he invests money in the North American promotion and slaps his name on the film to get people to see it... there have been a lot of them over the last few years.

This is not to be confused with a movie written/directed/produced by Tarantino.

Ahh, I see. I was mistaken about the Man with the Iron Fists. AS far as Kill BIll...I just dont think the characters and dialog holds up to the others. A little too much focus on ass kicking (which is ok sometimes). But the scene in the hospital where the guy wants to rape Uma just seemed like the female version of Butch escaping the gimp from pulp fiction, that scene was just terrible and seemed like filler. Maybe I should go back and give them another try. I did wonder if my expectations were too high when I saw them originally. But after seeing them in theaters, I've never had the desire to go back and re-watch, as opposed to True Romance, Res Dogs, And Pulp fiction, which I can practically recite word for word

rival.

1) basterds
2) pulp
3) others


basterds > pulp based on the basement bar scene alone. both incredible movies, but that one particular scene did it for me.

When I was in Newfoundland over the Christmas break I discovered that the brew pub/restaurant I go to regularly (because my buddy manages the place) opened a bar in the basement... several long nights were spent down there washing down pints with me uttering "You never fight in a basement" repeatedly...
