Best Quentin Tarantino Feature Film

[Chachie]

I'm with the True Romance cult. Quentin as director? Pulp Fiction.

I voted for Kill Bill, but Pulp Fiction & Jackie Brown were unbelievably awesome too.

Ultimately, I went with Kill Bill because it was an epic, it took 2 movies to tell the whole story, & extremely bloody.

I love his style, sticking with old kung-fu movies & 70's exploitative filmmaking. He's a very intelligent writer & his movies are always unique & fun to watch.

Ooooook...Mr. Pink, is it?

Yeah that was a great movie too. Hard to argue against that being one of his best films. But not my favorite.

Now, True Romance is one of my favorite movies EVER. Very different & has set the standard for many heist movies since. In fact, the first time I ever saw "Lock, Stock, & 2 Smokin' Barrels", I thought the ending was very similar to True Romance. I absolutely love True Romance.

Pulp Fiction for me as well. Django Unchained looks VERY promising.

I'm a big fan anyway, so I'm excited.

The KB movies, despite not being movies I'd ever want to watch, are freaking greak.

What was the movie that somebody told the story that he should go see the great _________, but he was the great _________?

Who was the great _____ and what movie?

i love true romance. as far as movies he's directed..... Reservoir Dogs...... but still waiting for the Vega Brothers.

Quote from IMDb=Tarantino has revealed that Vic and Vince are brothers. He also intended to do a prequel to both films called "Double V Vega", which would star the Vega Brothers, but Madsen and Travolta eventually got too old to reprise their roles, and Tarantino has since abandoned it.

That film would have been dope. Unfortunately I guess its not happening.

Hans is my favorite character in that movie, he actually makes the whole film. And Brad Pitt as a blow sniffin redneck from Tennessee is funny as hell.

Kind of excited to see Waltz in Django.

I want to agree man ... it just seems Pulp was more polished. but that gritty feeling that Reservoir Dogs has is amazing and can't be matched in Pulp.[COLOR="Gold"]a



amazign huh? I mean ... the tension, the build up. it was great. Probably his best scence in any of his movies.

I love them all, but Pulp again is tension that is palatable. That crash sequence from the crosswalk until "going mid-evil on your ass" the first time through, there is nobody that could have predicted where that scene was going. That scene put you on the edge of your seat with heart pounding wonder. Zed, Zed is dead baby.

If you have never read the mind-blowing QT theory, please take a second.

It’s well known that all of Tarantino’s films take place in the same universe – this is established by the fact that Mr. Blonde and Vince Vega are brothers, everybody smokes Red Apple cigarettes, Mr. White worked with Alabama from True Romance, etc.

As it turns out, Donny Donowitz, ‘The Bear Jew’, is the father of movie producer Lee Donowitz from True Romance – which means that, in Tarantino’s universe, everybody grew up learning about how a bunch of commando Jews machine gunned Hitler to death in a burning movie theater, as opposed to quietly killing himself in a bunker.

Because World War 2 ended in a movie theater, everybody lends greater significance to pop culture, hence why seemingly everybody has Abed-level knowledge of movies and TV. Likewise, because America won World War 2 in one concentrated act of hyperviolent slaughter, Americans as a whole are more desensitized to that sort of thing. Hence why Butch is unfazed by killing two people, Mr. White and Mr. Pink take a pragmatic approach to killing in their line of work, Esmerelda the cab driver is obsessed with death, etc.

You can extrapolate this further when you realize that Tarantino’s movies are technically two universes – he’s gone on record as saying that Kill Bill and From Dusk ‘Til Dawn take place in a ‘movie movie universe’; that is, they’re movies that characters from the Pulp Fiction, Reservoir Dogs, True Romance, and Death Proof universe would go to see in theaters. (Kill Bill, after all, is basically Fox Force Five, right on down to Mia Wallace playing the title role.)

What immediately springs to mind about Kill Bill and From Dusk ‘Til Dawn? That they’re crazy violent, even by Tarantino standards. These are the movies produced in a world where America’s crowning victory was locking a bunch of people in a movie theater and blowing it to bits – and keep in mind, Lee Donowitz, son of one of the people on the suicide mission to kill Hitler, is a very successful movie producer.

Basically, it turns every Tarantino movie into alternate reality sci fi. I love it so hard.

Am I the only one who was eh on Inglorious Basterds? I mean I didn't really like it much at all. Am I weird?

Anyway, best is probably Pulp Fiction but my personal fav is Jackie Brown. No lie, I was like 14 when that came out and Pam Grier put me on like a six-month cougar-porn kick. Ah the memories. But yeah Reservoir Dogs at #3 and Kill Bill in some order after that. Not sure I've ever seen Grindhouse. Am I missing out big time?

Hahahahaha yeah, she's not typically my type, but there was something about her in that movie.

And yeah, you're weird for not liking Inglorious Basterds. Love that movie. Watch it again and come to your senses.

The Grindhouse flicks were just so-so.

I voted Pulp Fiction but I love Reservoir Dogs and Lt. Aldo Raine from Basterds

That is super cool.

[fullnelson9999]

I don't think I breathed once during that scene. It was amazing. Probably one of the best scenes of his career.

True. And I was also thinking "who the hell is this Christolph Waltz guy?"

Tarantino really knows how to cast his movies.

If you have never read the mind-blowing QT theory, please take a second.

Good stuff. I was aware of the mentioned connections (except Donowitz) but never really thought about the concept in that way or even deciphered the "movies within movies" agenda. Really cool!

BTW- I was never crazy about Jackie Brown.

[Sticksboi05]

Well, these results aren't surprising. I bet arguing this with Scorsese films would garner a much bigger array of answers.

[Mad Mike]

Pulp Fiction was probably his best, but I chose Reservoir Dogs as my personal favorite. He did so much in that film with so little. Just a simple good story and some great actors.

[Sticksboi05]

Went to the theater to see Pulp Fiction last night and yes, it was well worth the admission price. It was an exponentially superior experience on the big screen with an audience. It was sold out.
