Hollywood doesn't get a ton of love, but I really like it.  It's not as good as PF because the story is not as cohesive and certainly not as unpredictable.  But I think of Hollywood as a series of scenes that I like to evaluate individually.  And in that context, I think it's awesome.  Every scene as it's own mini movies allows me to really focus on the acting and the dialogue.  I think Leo was off the chains amazing in the movie.  Pitt was also great, and slick too.  I didn't like the ending much because it felt like ti was going to be an IG type ending, where the bad guy loses, and that's what happened.  I thought it was too predictable in its alternate history ending. 

While a different genre, it sort of reminds me of Eyes Wide Shut.  In that movie, it felt like each scene change was purposeful and its own mini movie.  

Yeah I wasn't too thrilled with Hollywood after the first watch but after seeing it again I think it is great.  I agree with you on the acting.

The details in QT's movies are amazing.  I was laughing my ass off about the different varieties of the Wolf's Tooth dog food....Rat flavor, Raccoon flavor, etc.

Exactly!  It's definitely a movie you see again, to appreciate the acting and nuances.  First time through, you're trying to figure it out and predict the expected plot twists, that never really come.  Appreciating it for the art makes it a better experience.  

Also understanding the real-life events that Tarantino inserts DiCaprio and Pitt's characters.  Essentially they prevented the Manson Family Murders from occurring.

Yeah I thought that was predictable, because I kept having Inglorious going through my mind during the movie.

Yeah the dog food was hilarious.
And the attention to detail to create 1960's Hollywood from the cars to the businesses was spot on.

I think it may be his best movie, or at least tied w/ Inglorious for that title... I chose RD as my favorite for sentimental reasons, but OUATIH was fantastic from start to finish.

It may be his masterpiece.

I don't know about that....I really have to argue that Pulp Fiction is the masterpiece.  Partly due to OUATIH and IG having the endings that revise true history.

I have a QT signed Reservoir Dogs movie poster in my basement that I'm very proud of.

Idk, the endings of IG & OUATIH don’t bother me / take away from the films for me. 

I think they are Tarantino’s best films.

Pulp fiction is amazing beginning to end and so cutting edge.  I remember seeing it opening night with my gf and was just in awe. It had all the shock of reservoir but was so much more polished.  

The only other movie that ever left me that speechless was Saving Private Ryan. Saw that opening night too and had to sit in the front row.  I bawled at the end.

Tarantino movies are like Pearl Jam albums. Love em all... some slightly more than others.  Slightly surprised by the lack of love for Hateful Eight which is wonderful.

Pretty much my train of thought on this whole thing.  Though I was never a big fan of the Kill Bill movies; all the others are great.  I can't really rank them other than having a favorite.  Agreed on Hateful Eight. I love how he made that film feel like a stage play instead of a big screen movie.
