[Film] Quentin Tarantino's best film ?

[father_and_son]

Pulp Fiction was a good film, parts were brilliant (mostly the parts with John Travolta and Harvey Keitel) and parts were, IMHO, pretty dull (Bruce Willis' mostly).
Kill Bill 1&2 (when taken as "Compare and Contrast Eastern vs Western movie styles") are good, but again, not great.
Reservoir Dogs, again good but nothing particularly special.

The rest... tried to watch a couple but find them dull, erratic or just not very good.


TBH I'm not sure why everyone raves so much about him. In my opinion its a very mixed bag with no film that is actually good in all aspects.

Perhaps I just don't understand his mind-set?!

I think RD is his best by a long way, Pulp Fiction I like because it is quite entertaining the first couple of times and it reminds me of the 90's, my favourite decade. I though Jackie Brown was good. Tarantino has had moments of genius but too few to make him one of the greats in my opinion. He's just had too many duds. Kill Bill? Snoozefest. Django Unchained? Derivavtive claptrap. Hateful 8? Forgetable. Death Proof etc? Long, boring, crass.

No question Pulp Fiction and one of my favourite films too

From Dusk Till Dawn was the equally geniuns Robert Rodriguez. Tarantino acted in that as well as Rogriquez's Desperado. Both films make the very best use of Salma Hayek - with the Python Dance in FDTD and her getting a candlelit grafting from Antonio Banderas in Desperado.

As far as Tarantino flicks go Reservoir Dogs takes the prize. Followed immediately by Pulp Fiction. In my book he is very much a 'less is more' Director, as the less of a budget he has the better he makes the script and story.

For the records I thought both Kill Bill films were shite.

I often wonder when someone has an opinion like this, whether they think they are wrong, or whether they think that everyone else is wrong, because it's impossible that both are true.

I love cinema and I understand that there are many that find violence in any film distasteful, but at the same time I can't understand how despite the violence, there are people who still can't see the genius in a film like Pulp Fiction.

Opinion is the key word here. It’s my opinion, not fact. I don’t think I’m wrong nor do I think anyone else is wrong, I just don’t get Tarantino films.

Load of bollocks films
One trick pony director.
Saw better story telling watching Pipkins.

Subjective opinion.

 

[Uncle Spielberg]

That is very conclusive. Thanks for taking part

Tarantino's best film - Pulp Fiction
Spielberg's best film - Hook

Dusk till Dawn!!!!!

Just watched Inglourious Basterds for the first time.

The tension in several long scenes is unbearable, great work from QT, with the vengeful violence from the US Jewish insurgents lucid.

I hated the SS character Hans Landa so much, a great performance by Christoph Waltz.

The apple strewdle scene. How he sits and eats it grinds my gears every time. Great film.

That, plus the incredibly long opening in the rural cottage, also a Paris bar scene with a nosey Gestapo t@sser.

The tension!

Pulp Fiction closely followed by Inglorious Basterds.

Just awful isn’t it. Love the scene in the bar and how they give it away by signalling 3. One of those films where the second watch will never match the first.

Difficult to portray a unique/ugly loon such as Hitler, but great casting by QT with Martin Wuttke. People who glorify Hitler now would I guess hate seeing this complete oddball and little man.

Jackie Brown. And brilliant soundtrack.

 

[Algernon]

Inglorious Basterds in my opinion.
Saw this which lead me to this thread.

 

[Lower West Stander]

Jackie Brown followed by Reservoir Dogs

Jackie Brown/Pulp Fiction or True Romance

The first 2 films, Dogs + Pulp = classics. Plot, script, casting brilliant. Everything else since = meh, some complete stinkers expecially the awful Kill Bill rubbish....
