Few directors have changed the art of filmmaking quite like Quentin Tarantino has. From the first scene in Reservoir Dogs, I was captivated and have since then, always found myself eager to see what he creates next. I thought he was incapable of making a bad film until I saw Death Proof, which failed on an immense level even though it had its enjoyable bits. Here, I rank his nine films:
1. Kill Bill: Vol. 2
2. Kill Bill: Vol. 1
3. Pulp Fiction
4. Inglourious Basterds
5. Reservoir Dogs
6. Jackie Brown
7. The Hateful Eight
8. Django Unchained
9. Death Proof
While I won’t get into ranking, I will say that the one I enjoy the most and I feel is his most polished film is Jackie Brown. Pam Grier doesn’t hurt either.
Seems to be the one that most people overlook. It’s really underappreciated.
I have to say I would have put Pulp Fiction at number 1, but then again I have seen Kill Bill only once and quite a long time ago. I will have to re-watch it again.
