    Pulp Fiction
    When I first saw Pulp I fell asleep in the movie theatre.  2nd time I watched it, loved it.  There is so much substance in it.

    The car cleaning scene w Jules and Vincent is one of my favs.

    I have never watched the Kill Bill's...  They looked silly to me.

    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)
    you should give Jackie Brown another chance...great movie

    Agreed. Jackie Brown is stellar. 
    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. 
    True Romance is super cool.  Great lines, great actors.  

    I happened to watch Jackie with my wife and oldest last weekend.  It was the first time I had watched it in probably 20 years.  It’s very good, not great.  It’s definitely a movie QT wrote because he loves Pam Grier and wanted her to be a bad ass.  And she was.  But it made the movie a tad predictable.  Jodie Foster was great in it too.

    Not one of hos "movies". I didn't count his CSI episode either...

    But honestly, I watched that once when I was a kid... so I don't remember anything. Tim Roth as a bellboy or something...

    I tried to limit the choices to where QT was the sole director, rather than include films that he was "partial." I finally saw Four Rooms last year and it's quite an interesting flick.  I didn't know Madonna was in it, till I saw it.

    I wish I was a sacrifice, but somehow still lived on.

    I haven't seen OUATIH or Grindhouse, but other than that I have found most of his movies quite enjoyable. I enjoyed parts of Django, but overall didn't think it stood up with his better movies. Hateful was ok, but near the bottom of his movies for me. I really like IB. I feel like the writing was much stronger for that one and his better movies are always the one's carried by the dialogue with the over the top violence mixed in. I still rank Pulp Fiction and Kill Bill as my favorites. It has been a long time since I saw Jackie Brown, but I remember being disappointed, mostly because Pulp Fiction was so good. Based on some of the comments here I should probably re-watch that one. Reservoir Dogs is a solid movie as well and still enjoyable to watch.

    My order:
    Pulp Fiction
    Kill Bill
    Inglorious Basterds
    Django
    Reservoir Dogs
    Jackie Brown
    Hateful
    It's a hopeless situation...

    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.
