- DirectorQuentin TarantinoStarsJohn TravoltaUma ThurmanSamuel L. JacksonThe lives of two mob hitmen, a boxer, a gangster and his wife, and a pair of diner bandits intertwine in four tales of violence and redemption.Yes I am being boring. But regardless of whatever you say about my traditional choice, Pulp Fiction is still one of my favorite movies, and Tarantino's undisputed masterpiece. It's an unconventional masterpiece in directing, writing and acting. Every loose thread in every story is knitted together nicely towards the end. There is a reason this movie is so highly regarded among movie lovers. Pulp Fiction is fantastic.
- DirectorQuentin TarantinoStarsHarvey KeitelTim RothMichael MadsenWhen a simple jewelry heist goes horribly wrong, the surviving criminals begin to suspect that one of them is a police informant.But Tarantino's First real feature length film, is also brilliant. Reservoir Dogs is what comes to my mind whenever i think of a great gangster film. It's a movie with a plot that doesn't generally go many places, but it's still intriguing and interesting enough to keep your attention. I love this movie, and it's one of the movies that got me so deeply interested in the magic of film-making. Some people overlook it (For whatever reason i don't understand), but it should never be overlooked. Reservoir Dogs is like Pulp Fiction, one of the greatest movies of all time
- DirectorQuentin TarantinoStarsBrad PittDiane KrugerEli RothIn Nazi-occupied France during World War II, a plan to assassinate Nazi leaders by a group of Jewish U.S. soldiers coincides with a theatre owner's vengeful plans for the same.This choice will spark controversy, I'm sure of it (Well controversy among the few 100 people that actually read my lists). But i love this movie so much. The plot is fantastic, and the directing and camera work is also just splendid. The first thing that comes to mind when I think of this movie is the bar scene. You know which one I'm talking about. It's not that much an important scene to the plot, but god is it intriguing. The rest of the movie is great as well, and do i even need to explain why Waltz is fantastic in it? Inglourious Basterds might not be everyone's favorite when it comes to Tarantino, but i sure loved it.
- DirectorQuentin TarantinoStarsPam GrierSamuel L. JacksonRobert ForsterA flight attendant with a criminal past gets nabbed by the ATF for smuggling. Under pressure to become an informant against the illegal arms dealer she works for, she must find a way to secure her future without getting killed.Jackie Brown is a cool flick. It was at the time of it's release loved by critics, but sort of overlooked by movie goers. I do understand why, but if this is the one Tarantino movie you haven't watched, you're doing yourself a disservice by not giving it a try. It is also Samuel L. Jackson's best performance of his career. The one small thing that sort of annoys me with this movie however, is that the plot is a tiny bit thin. Don't rage in the comments though, i still love Jackie Brown.
- DirectorQuentin TarantinoStarsJamie FoxxChristoph WaltzLeonardo DiCaprioWith the help of a German bounty-hunter, a freed slave sets out to rescue his wife from a brutal plantation owner in Mississippi.Django Unchained was my favorite movie of 2012, and i still like it. I guess it's the least Tarantinoish movie he has released, but it's still a blast. To take something as sad and depressing as slavery and turning it into an old fashioned revenge western, is tough, but Tarantino nailed it!. There is however this sort of sad truth behind the entire movie. None of the characters feel like actual heroes. Not even Django. Don't get me wrong, most of the villains in this movie got what they deserved, but there is still this Tarantino feel to the entire movie, with characters that deserve no praise for what they do.
- DirectorQuentin TarantinoStarsUma ThurmanDavid CarradineMichael MadsenThe Bride continues her quest of vengeance against her former boss and lover Bill, the reclusive bouncer Budd, and the treacherous, one-eyed Elle.Yes this one over the first installment. There are a lot of people who don't like the sequel to the beloved Kill Bill: Vol. 1. But me? I thought it was great. Where i thought the first one was entertaining, this one was thought provoking and masterfully directed. Kill Bill: Vol. 2 Has no insane action scenes and the movie is very dialogue driven. But you know what? That is what Tarantino is good at. I'm not saying the first one was bad, far from it. Both the Kill Bill movies are fantastic, but i prefer the second installment to the first.
- DirectorQuentin TarantinoStarsUma ThurmanDavid CarradineDaryl HannahAfter awakening from a four-year coma, a former assassin wreaks vengeance on the team of assassins who betrayed her.That being said though. When the bride launches into O-Ren Ishii's hideout, with her trusty hanzo blade in her arm, how can you not be excited? This movie is a blast, and there's no denying it. But compared to Tarantino's other works? It's not up there with for example Pulp Fiction or Reservoir Dogs. Again, before you go headfirst into that comment section, i do like this film. I just wasn't overwhelmed when it first came out. It's a well directed bloodbath, but not a thought provoking masterpiece.
- DirectorQuentin TarantinoStarsKurt RussellZoë BellRosario DawsonTwo separate sets of voluptuous women are stalked at different times by a scarred stuntman who uses his "death proof" cars to execute his murderous plans.And cutting to the one Tarantino film i don't really like. I don't know why. The movie has everything going for it when the first act opens. Beautiful girls, a long drawn out scene in a pub. When i watched the first half hour of this movie i was pumped. I was loving it! But then it sort of got drawn out, and became this car chase that never really went anywhere until the last minutes or so. I don't consider Death Proof a bad movie, but let there be no doubt. It's Tarantino's weakest film.
