Are you guys familiar with any of his films? If so, list the ones you like. biggrin.gif

I like:

Pulp Fiction {which is where I got my domain name from}
Kill Bill volume 1
Kill Bill volume 2 {definitely not as great as the first}
Reservoir Dogs

QT Films (Full Length Features):

- Written/Directed -

Reservoir Dogs
Pulp Fiction
Jackie Brown
Kill Bill Vol. 1
Kill Bill Vol. 2

- Written -

True Romance
Natural Born Killers
From Dusk Till Dawn

- Misc. -

Four Rooms
Sin City
My Best Friend's Birthday
Grind House
Inglorious Bastards
Etc.


Out of all these, Natural Born Killers (Script my Tarantino, Directed by Oliver Stone) is my favorite film. Of Tarantino's, Reservoir Dogs is my favorite. I would have to put Written/Directed work in this order:

(From best to worst)
1. Reservoir Dogs
2. Jackie Brown
3. Pulp Fiction
4. Kill Bill Vol. 1
5. Kill Bill Vol. 2

QT use to be my favorite director, but not anymore. I still love the man, but his retrocade style can get old. I want to see something fresh and from the heart Mr. Tarantino! Stop ressurecting old ideas, I'm ready for something new!

Yeah, I like QT.

^There's no Kill Bill 3. D:
I liked Resevoir Dogs, Kill Bill 1&2, and Sin City.

Quentin Tarantino has a big forehead.

^ He only directed a very small part of Sin City, which happens to be my least favorite scene of the film for some reason. I will say that him and Robert Rodriguez (a favorite of mine) were a hoot to listen to on the commentary.

I liked Dusk Till Dawn, by the way. It got a lot of sh*t for some reason. True, QT should really stay *behind* the camera, but eh Harvey Kietel + QT = GOOD.

Yeah, I know he had only that short scene in Sin City. I'm not sure why I put that up, but it came to mind. I was actually rather upset the way that film was marketed. Frank Miller and Robert Rodriguez really seemed to have been taking a back seat to a man who barely did anything to help the project. For me it was very upseting. I had a similar response to QT's name on Hostel. I would say though, I do enjoy the scene.

I love From Dusk Till Dawn.
This one time I gathered about thirteen or so people to watch it and none of them were hip to the vampire plot so I told them it was about convicts on the run to mexico. Hell were they surprised. I remember, that was the way I first saw it. It's so much better that way.
Damn the look on their faces! Some of them left right after that. I think their exact words were, "What the f**k!?" laugh.gif

^ laugh.gif You evil, evil guy.

That's ok. When my sister was about 6 years old, my mom left town and I wanted to watch Reservoir Dogs. I told her (my sister) that it was the sequel to Lady and the Tramp. She had nightmares for weeks.

Ahhhh ha ha! That is great. laugh.gif

I saw Pulp Fiction the week it came out on VHS. I was six.
It was the coolest thing I had ever seen. My parents never watched me closely.
For the longest time Pulp Fiction was my favorite Tarantino film. And even beyond that, my favorite film. However, after I saw Reservoir Dogs that quickly changed.
And, over the years it has kind of worn off a bit. It's odd. I mean, I like Jackie Brown more than Pulp Fiction.

Well, Pulp Fiction just got played and played and played. I remember seeing it in the movie theaters the day it came out and I thought I'd pee myself I loved it so much. Now, I have the super shiny terrific collectors edition - mint in the box. ;) Jackie Brown is alright, but I didn't think the cast was his best selection. (Which reminds me, I think the best character is the one Rosana Arquette played (in Pulp Fiction, that is. Her line, "That was f***ing trippy" is a classic).

Resevoir Dogs remains my favorite to this day though. I can't help it, I love all those guys. Each and everyone of them. (Of course, I've had a thing for Steve Buscemi for years)

Oh, she was great.
But, Eric Stoltz was much better as Lance.
Lance was so much better. Come on!

I still don't like Mr. Blonde, despite my love for Michael Madsen.

P.S. I bet you love Ghost World. Huh?

I like him, but he wasn't my favorite.

And you betcha! I thought it was way better than that other little movie Thora Birch did (American Beauty).

Lance: Hey, whattya think about Trudi? She ain't got a boyfriend. You wanna hang out, get high?
Vincent: Which one's Trudi? The one with all the shit in her face?
Lance: No, that's Jody. That's my wife.

Hmmm. I thought Mrs. Birch did much better in Ghost World but I think I prefer American Beauty over Ghost World altogether. Kevin Spacey and Chris Cooper.

^ eh, not a big Kevin Spacey fan. Chris Cooper on the other hand. throb.gif

Oh and I feel compelled to mention how much I really love Natural Born Killers (even though he was a writer and not a director of the film. I do think it's Oliver Stone's best directed film).

Yeah, I'm definately not a Spacey fan. I just thought he did a real good job with American Beauty. And, Chris Cooper is in italics for a reason, heh heh.

Yeah, Natural Born Killers is wonderful. Probably one of my favorite films of all time. And, definately Stone's best work.

It wouldn't be a Quentin Tarantino movie if it didn't cause someone to say "What the f**k?"

Natural Born Killers scared the shit out of me when I first saw it. I think I was like...10 at the time and it I saw it on Cinemax. Now that I think about it, that's the only time I saw it. Hmm...I should have a Tarantino film fest next weekend because it's sad that the only Tarantino films I've seen are Kill Bill 1 and 2 and Natural Born Killers.

Yeah, you definately should sit down and see as much of his work as you can. If you havn't seen Pulp Fiction and Reservoir Dogs, you havn't lived yet.

Out of all his films, the only ones I have are Kill Bill vol. 1 and 2 and Pulp Fiction.


I loooove the part i Pulp Fiction where he recites that ONE verse from the bible laugh.gif I also noticed how those two films have a lot in common, especially the katanas...boy he loves Japanese weaponry!

Just so you know, I'll be watching Reservoir Dogs this afternoon, as soon as I finish up some light school work happy.gif

Pulp Fiction confused me the first 20 times maybe.
I am that simple
Hostal is supposed to be good.
And gruesome
Just his style i say.
Can't wait to see it though.
Fave would be resovoir dogs probably.
then Pulp Fiction.
The Kill Bill's were good though but not in the same league for me.

from dusk till dawn was a great movie, can't say enough about it.

Jackie Brown was garbage

Pulp Fiction is one of the best movies ever made

Reservoir Dogs was for p**sies

Uma Thurman shoulda showed sum titties in Kill Bill - if they had done that it woulda been 4 stars

He really didn't have anything to do with Hostel. It's like Hero, he saw something he liked and wanted to back it.

I've long been a big fan of Pulp Fiction and Natural Born Killers. I think both exhibit a unique style of storytelling, combined with interesting and effective techniques for communication a message in film. I wouldn't consider myself a huge fan of Tarantino, though; he's definitely very good, but I haven't seen tons of his movies, nor do I go to great lengths to analyze them, save for the two I mentioned.

I just got finished watching Reservior Dogs. It was okay. The part with the ear...holy crap. That was the defining "what the f**k?" moment of it.
