Mines either Pulp Fiction or Jackie Brown.
Kill bill, followed by Pulp Fiction. Reservoir Dogs was good, although not quite as riveting as the aforementioned two. I hated Jackie Brown though. Blacksploitation Movies just aren't my thing...
I didnt enjoy Kill Bill as much as others, the first was good and the second was Ok. Some of QT's weakest work IMO.
Pulp Fiction
Kill Bill Vol. 1:D amazing and bloody!
It's a toss-up between Pulp Fiction and Reservoir Dogs. Both are great.
Kill Bill has a great soundtrack also.
Kill Bill 1 and 2.
Kill Bill Volume 2.
then
Kill Bill Volume 1.
then
Pulp Fiction.
Frankly I don't like Quentin Tarantino. The only reason he currently has such a following is that his films are full of gratuitous violence. Kill Bill had such a bare-bones plot that all it can be called is string of violent events attached together.
It will always be Reservoir Dogs for me, Kill Bill follows close second. Been a fan of his for 13 years now (yes, been a fan since I was 8) and Reservoir Dogs, IMO, was his master piece.
I've seen all his films, and it's definitely one of my all time favorite filmmakers:D
My top:
1. Reservoir Dogs
2. Kill Bill Vol. 1 and 2
3. Pulp Fiction
4. My Best Friend's Birthday
5. Jackie Brown
(these are the movies he wrote AND directed, so ^_^)
Pulp Fiction
Kill Bill vol. 2
That's a tough one. I can't decide between Pulp Fiction, Kill Bill Vol. 1 and Reservoir Dogs, but those are definitely the top three.
My best friends birthday was great, its definately one of QT's most underrated and unknown pieces of work. Great stuff.Quote:

Kill Bil Vol 2 for one reason ; Pai Mei.
True Romance was amazing also.
I thought Pulp fiction was really good, but I didn't care all too much for a lot of his other stuff....kill bill 1 was alright though.
Kill Bill Vol. 1. He used a multitude of styles in that movie and it made it flow very fast and kept it engaging from a visual stand point.
Pulp Fiction was great. Jackie Brown was decent, as was Kill Bill Vol. 1. Hated Vol. 2 and haven't seen anything else by him.
Pulp Fiction is the best, Reservoir Dogs and the Kill Bills stand pretty much equally in my opinion, and Jackie Brown, while good, was the weakest film by him that I've seen.
Jackie Brown is easily his weakest film (although....maybe it's because i'm kinda comparing it with Pulp Fiction:( .....:rolleyes2 Ahwell)
Kill Bill is one movie, split. Stop saying you like one and not the other. It's the same thing. Arg.
I like Kill Bill the most, maybe because I've seen Pulp Fiction 2039423q5 times. I do like the characters in all of his movies equally, though.
Q's movies always have weak human characters that you-in a way-can relate to-. That's why I like his movies. Kill Bill is by far his greatest movie. The characters are what I really like about Kill Bill. Pulp fiction also needs meation in my mediocre post. :p
Actually, since he released it as 2 seperate movies and has yet to put out a version of Kill Bill as a whole, I'm gonna continue to see them as the two movies that they are.Quote:

They were planned to be put in theatres as 1 but because of the long run time were put as 2 separate versions.
As much as that's was spouted, they look and feel way too different. Unless he planned on shifting the tone halfway through the film for no reason.
Not to mention that there was alot he could have left out if he really wanted it to be one movie. Both films spend alot of time on the same material.
Both films look and feel like they were supposed to be seperate entities. It may have been the original intenetion, but it certainly couldn't have happened during production or post-production, regardless of what he claims.
Most definitely Pulp Fiction. Reservoir Dogs second, then kill Bill Vol 1.
1. Pulp Fiction
2. Kill Bill vol. 1
3. Reservoir Dogs
4. Kill Bill vol. 2
5. Sin City (Does this count?)
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:

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:
