Jackie Brown was crap.
Pulp Fiction is the coolest.
There's not much of a choice, he's only made about five. But Jackie Brown is probly he's best written, but Pulp Fiction is the most enjoyable. Reservoir Dogs is just a rip-off of a bunch of other movies (The taking of pelham 123, Clockwork Orange etc.).
...
How on earth was Reservoir Dogs a rip off of Clockwork Orange?
One of the most memerable scenes from Reservoir Dogs was when they walk out the cafe in slow motion at the start of the film. It was taken from a scene in A Clockwork Orange.Quote:

I was wondering when someone would mention that one. It rocked. Great dialogue and interesting characters. Full of celebrities doing really gritty work. As good or better than my other favorite, Pulp Fiction.Quote:

It should also be noted that I have not seen this movie, thus will comment on it no further.
True, true, true. But, I.M.H.O. it is the dialogue, the script, the characters in the movie that really make a Q.T. movie impressive. His direction is great, don't get me wrong, but the banter back and forth between the characters makes his movies what they are.Quote:

Cast overview, first billed only:
Christian Slater .... Clarence Worley
Patricia Arquette .... Alabama Whitman
Dennis Hopper .... Clifford Worley
Val Kilmer .... Elvis, Mentor
Bronson Pinchot .... Elliot Blitzer
Gary Oldman .... Drexl Spivey
Brad Pitt .... Floyd
Christopher Walken .... Vincenzo Coccotti

Victor Argo .... Lenny
Frank Adonis .... Frankie
Paul Bates .... Marty
Oldman, Hopper, Walken, Gandolfini, and Pitt (in no particular order) played definitely some of the most colorful characters I ever saw in a Q.T. movie.
Pulp Fiction, Sin City (if that's valid...) , and True Romance are my favorites. An honorable mention also goes out to Kill Bill Vol. 1.
I own and have seen all of the above listed except True Romance and My Best Friends Birthday. Both of which I have really wanted to see, just havent had the time or chance.
My favorites otherwise go in this order.
Pulpfiction & Reservoir Dogs in # 1, Kill Bill 2, Kill Bill 1 and Jackie Brown.
I enjoy the Dialouge and Character Development in KB2, thats the main reason it beats KB1, they could almost be tied.
Yes I know. But its still an amazing flim. I was waiting for someone to mention he didnt direct it.Quote:
