What is your favorite Tarantino film, and why?
Out of all of Quentin Tarantino's 8 major films (Reservoir Dogs, Pulp Fiction, Kill Bill, etc.), which one is your favorite and why is it? I am curious to see what you guys think!
My personal favorite has to be Kill Bill (as a whole). The soundtrack is awesome, and also has such memorable dialogue and action sequences. It just happened to be the one that stuck with me the most, I think they're all amazing in their own way however.
Inglorious Basterds is a very close runner-up.
-
Inglorious Basterds, because I want my Natzi scalps.
-
Pulp Fiction, although I'm not entirely sure why.
I'm a big Tarantino fan, btw, I love his films. Except The Hateful Eight, that was just rubbish.

Pulp Fiction, although I'm not entirely sure why.

I think Pulp Fiction has a filmic quality that speaks to the biological aspect of film enjoyment more directly than usual. It's a prime example of well-crafted art appealing to objective perceptions of the brain that supersede personal subjectivity.
But overall I think From Dusk till Dawn is my favorite Tarantino project despite being a joint venture. I just get a real kick out of watching him in the actual movie as it seems to work really well because I never think of him as Tarantino the director playing a character. I just see the character as the character.

FDTD gets a lot of stick. I can see why, too, although I still liked it. My favourites are still Pulp Fiction, Kill Bill, Reservoir Dogs, Django Unchained, and Inglourious Basterds, though.
-
Probably Reservoir Dogs. - I just love the whole feel of the movie, all the characters are fantastic.
Pulp Fiction is a close second.
-
Pulp Fiction because it's unarguably his best written and directed film. Easily.
-
I don't have a favourite.
I would say that Reservoir Dogs is the best single movie that he both wrote and directed.
Pulp Fiction is more of a classic but uneven. The Kill Bill duology is fun and contain a lot of homage to old pulp classics and may be the most entertaining.
I found Jackie Brown, Inglorious Basterds, Django Unchained and The Hateful Eight to be mostly boring. The abundance of gore in the latter two just made them ridiculous.
I saw The Hateful Eight in 70mm extended version with intermission and was mostly just disappointed — 70mm was wasted on a chamber piece and the movie was not complex enough to warrant that run-time.
BTW. There is WW2 movie from 1978 called The Inglorious Bastards about a commando team fighting behind enemy lines in Europe.
-
The torture scene in Reservoir Dogs is the best movie.
Just that scene.
-
Pulp Fiction, although I'm not entirely sure why.

I don't think The Hateful Eight was COMPLETE rubbish.. but definitely not his best lol
-
Jackie Brown because it's the only good one.
don't @ me
-
Pulp Fiction, although I'm not entirely sure why.

I don't the The Hateful Eight was COMPLETE rubbish.. but definitely not his best lol
I've always put Tarantino in the same class as Kevin Smith..
They're all bad movies, every last one, campy enough to appeal to cult..

The problem with that film IMO is that he tried to be too clever. It's too well-engineered, but as a result none of the characters get any GENUINE development and the plot just feels fake. His other big films have characters that still stand the test of time, that we still quote daily, have plots that are believable due to the balance of bizarre and banal that happen in them. This is the sort of thing he's so good at. The Hateful Eight feels like a school play compared to that.

I see what you're saying, that is understandable. I think Tarantino said somewhere that he actually did kinda write the move as a play. He even mentioned that he wanted to make a theatrical adaptation so that other actors could play his characters haha.

Thank you for this! I've watched quite a few videos from this channel but never seen this, very entertaining.

Either that one or Django Unchained. Though Kill Bill 1&2 are really close. I guess I like revenge flicks.

I'd never heard of that before- it was quite hilarious! Now I have a lot more youtube videos I have to sample.

Really I'd say Reservoir Dogs, Pulp Fiction, and Kill Bill were his only good films. The rest were forgettable.
He's like a bootleg Scorsese.
