RE: OT: Rank Them - Vanguard83 - 03-31-2025
Sorry I'm late to this thread...
Worked in theaters for years in high school and college an a big Tarantino fan.
Here's my list:
Pulp Fiction - This is tough for me because I absolutely LOVE Reservoir Dogs, but there are just so many watershed and quotable moments in this film. SLJ's finest work IMO.
Reservoir Dogs - Love this film and the developing relationship between Roth and Keitel. This one has a "Hitchcock LIFEBOAT" feel.
Inglorious Basterds - Honestly the first 20 minutes of this film are unmatched in cinema, The Strudel, the pub scenes just a great film on so many levels - ESPECIALLY the dialogue. Christoph Waltz - WOW!
Jackie Brown - Such strong character development, each looking out for themselves: Pam Grier, Robert Forster are amazing & SLJ's performance second only to Jules Winnfield in PF IMO.
Django - Again Christoph Waltz does an incredible job, but LDC steals the movie in my opinion, absolutely loathe his character.
Hateful 8 - Great on many levels, so many plot twists - especially enjoy the dynamic between SLJ and Goggins.
Once Upon A Time - Some memorable scenes, great dialogue but meanders at times.
KB Vol. 1 - Not a fan of "long drawn out" fight scenes - Tarantino himself said that most violent acts take place very quickly and therefore more realistic (Willis & Travolta, Lapadite home / Dreyfus family, La Luisiane pub, etc.)
KB Vol. 2 - Enjoyed the training montage & a couple other scenes
Death Proof - Entertaining, but just not his finest.

Ok, I really need to see Jackie Brown.
