I’m typically not a huge Tarantino fan, but I think this looks pretty awesome. Great cast.

This looks potentially really good. I was kinda let down by Hateful Eight, but that's probably more to do with the fact that I had absurdly high expectations after Inglorious Basterds and Django Unchained. It wasn't a bad movie on its own, but I'm approaching this one with a bit more restraint.

Yeah I found myself liking the second one more and more.

I always preferred the first one for some reason. I felt it flowed better. There were some dead spots in the 2nd one, I thought. Both phenomenal films though. Your opinion?

I always liked the first one better but the second one has grown on me. I just really like the stuff with Bud and what goes on in that trailer.

The trailer scene was awesome. Not to mention, I'm fascinated by snakes so I loved the nicknames. Just a great blend of Western and Japanese Samurai genres into a beautiful two-part film. Tarantino really is one of the great directors of our time.

Hah my wife's favorite movie is Death Proof and I got her some french theater cards from the movie and had one framed for her. We are big on QT in our house. Even revisiting Jackie Brown has some real jewels in it.

I actually didn't mind Jackie Brown. I thought it was a great film, only poor by Tarantino's standards. Too much dead film. Some redundant dialogue. It's been a while since I've seen Death Proof. Good on you for snagging a wife with some taste. I love theater cards like that. I wish they were more prevalent. I think I still have one of Inception boxed up somewhere in a closet haha.

I'd say my favorite Tarantino is either Reservoir Dogs or Inglorious Basterds. Pulp Fiction is up there too. Yours?

Definitely Pulp, it was the perfect storm of dialogue and mastery of non-linear storytelling. I really love Hateful Eight and Django. Basterds wasn't as high up for me, I liked it but it felt like it relied too much on the overly-long single scenes.

I'd go
Pulp
Resevoir
Kill Bills
Hateful Eight
Death Proof
Django
Inglorious
Jackie

Fair enough. I just thought the humor in Basterds was better than most of his films.

My list would be:
-Reservoir
-Inglorious
-Pulp
-Django
-Kill Bill (1 & 2)
-Hateful Eight
-Death Proof
-Jackie

Although, to be fair, "Jackie Brown" is about the only one I would say he might have missed on. I still enjoy it when I watch it though. All of those movies are great. That's the hallmark of a great director: Consistency in brilliance. Nolan, Tarantino, Anderson (there's more but I can't remember off the top of my head) have all yet to make a bad film. That's how you know they're really good.

Pulp
Inglorious
Resivoir
Hateful Eight
Django
Kill Bills

hard to rank them really. cause i love Django..... so having it there on the list doesn't take away from it. but Pulp and Inglorious are two movies that i will watch no matter where they are in the movie, when i pick them up on the TV, i will watch them to the end.
