    Pulp Fiction
    I’m a huge fan of all of his films. Close second to reservoir dogs and django unchained, but pulp fiction tops them for me.

    Reservoir Dogs
    Sometimes it’s a coin flip between RD and PF, but nothing compares to the intro of RD.  Maybe my favorite intro of any movie.

    I do enjoy how Tarantino altered the endings to IB and Once Upon.  A way to think of how I wish things would have happened.

    Same...Death Proof is the clear bottom for me.  Not a bad film it just didn't grip me like the others....plus I thought Planet Terror was far superior.

    Jackie Brown
    I just think he does better working from source material. 

    Having said that, if there were a long, single-film cut of the Kill Bill movies, I might go with that.

    Django Unchained
    I went with Django in the same way I'd choose Vitalogy as my favorite PJ album. It's Ten (or Pulp Fiction) that is engrained the most into all our DNAs...almost to the point where ya can take the album (or film) for granted. But as much as I love Pulp Fiction, and I've seen it more times than the rest of his movie's combined, I just think Django is better. In fact, what the hell, here's my personal rankings. 

    1. Django
    2. Pulp
    3. Bastards
    4. Reservoir
    5. Hollywood
    6. Kill BIll
    7. Hateful Eight

    8. Jackie Brown (only saw the first half, couldn't get into it)
    9. Death Proof (never saw it)

    Death Proof is the worst by far. Kill Bill 2 is next but the gap is wide.

    Yeah I've never heard a bad word about it (same with True Romance, which I've never seen), but I just couldn't get into it. I'll give it another try someday.

    That opening scene in Basterds is one of the best scenes in all of his films.

    Reservoir Dogs

    Reservoir Dogs, no debate.

    Inglorious, Django & Once Upon a Time are probably my next favorites, in no particular order.

    The Kill Bills were far & away some of my favorite & most memorable theater going experiences (as was Once Upon a Time...). I could have easily sat through Kill Bill 2 when the 1st one ended (talk about a cliff hanger)... but they haven't aged well IMO. I don't dislike them, but I definitely am not as into them as I was 15 years ago.

    Conversely, Jackie Brown has aged tremendously... I enjoy that way more now than I ever did. (would love to see Michael Keaton in another QT movie)


    Pulp Fiction is way overrated. It's a good flick, but doesn't crack the top half of my QT movie rankings.

    Once Upon a Time in Hollywood
    Once Upon A Time is my new fave. After that it's the Kill Bills, Inglorious Bastards, Django Unchained, and Pulp Fiction.

    I don't particularly care for Reservoir Dogs anymore. I feel like that's a one and done film. I enjoyed it a lot when I first saw it, but it's not very rewatchable IMHO. Not because it's not good, but because once you know how it ends, there is no point in going back to it. It's just the nature of its particular brand of suspense I guess. For me.

    I know he didn't direct it, but I also really liked From Dusk Till Dawn.
