    The kill bill movies are awesome!! Great cinematography and use of colors as mood enhancing effects. I like Tarentino movies and can't wait to see Django.

    From what I've seen:

    Jackie Brown
    Inglorious Bastards
    Reservoir Dogs
    Pulp Fiction
    Death Proof

    Death Proof was awful. Pulp Fiction is overrated. Never saw the Kill Bills.

    U guys really gotta watch the Kill Bill movies. They're actually my favorites of Tarentinos movies so far.

    Don't forget True Romance w/Christian Slater. Tarantino didn't direct, but he wrote the movie. Great flick.

    I'm going with
    1. Pulp Fiction - just watched a few weeks ago when I was sick What a great movie.
    2. Reservoir Dogs - watched it a lot when I was younger, it holds a special place in my twisted heart
    3. Inglorious
    4. Kill Bill 2
    5. Kill Bill 1
    6. Death Proof

    Haven't seen Django yet, and never watched Jackie Brown.

    Tarantino also wrote Natural Born Killers, which was one of the worst movies ive ever seen. He directed parts of Sin City though which was pretty good.

    Pulp Fiction is a top 5 film for me. Its a great movie, funny, and considered one of the greatest films of all time. Never gets old.

    Of all the great Samuel L. Jackson, John Travolta and Bruce Willis movie roles, all 3 of there characters in this film are my favorite.

    Jackson plays a pretty good part in Django too BTW. A must see.

    Never saw any of the Kill Bills. I've seen:

    Res Dogs
    Pulp Fiction
    Inglorious Bastards

    All are solid movies.

    Love his "joke" cameo in Desperado.

    Don't forget From Dusk Till Dawn either. Tarantino wrote and starred in it. One of Clooney's best rolls. Who didn't love Seth Gecko? :D

    Harvey Keitel, Juliette Lewis, Salma Hayek, Danny Trejo. What a great cast.

    How can you like Natural Born Killers?

    The plot is fine, the way it was filmed...sucked.

    I liked Reservoir Dogs, Pulp Fiction, and Inglorious Bastards. Saw Jackie Brown and From Dusk Til Dawn but don't remember much about either.

    Here is a little know Tarantino movie (he actually directed 1/4th of the movie)= Four Rooms. I loved that movie. Check it out as it is a unique and hilarious movie.

    I love Tarantino movies. My list...

    Inglorious Bastards
    Pulp Fiction
    Reservior Dogs
    Kill Bill Vol. 1
    Kill Bill Vol. 2
    Jackie Brown
    Death Proof

    Not seen yet - Django Unchained

    Love Four Rooms, very unique in that each room had a different director.

    Personally I don't consider it a Tarantino movie unless he directs it. He wrote but did not direct...

    From Dusk Til Dawn (directed by Richard Rodriquez)
    True Romance (directed by Tony Scott)
    Natural Born Killerz (directed by Oliver Stone)

    Four Rooms is HYSTERICAL. Tim Roth was perfect in that movie.


    I would rate as follows:

    Pulp Fiction
    Inglorious Bastards
    Resevior Dogs
    Kill Bills
    Dusk till Dawn
    Natural Born Killers
    Jackie Brown


    Havent seen Django yet, but will this weekend. Interested to see how it is.


    My vote for best performance in a Tarantino movie. Christoph Waltz in Inglorious Bastards. Dude was down right evil. The first scene was so intense.

    I agree. I really did not like IB, as a whole movie that much, but the opening scene, and the bar scene were just so freaking fantastic. Just 2 absolutely perfect scenes that forces me to push the movie towards the top.

    In Django...Waltz plays the good guy. But with a similiar attitude.
