I think "SIN CITY" that comes out soon is his movie. Looks good, got alot of good actors also.

May be like Four Rooms where he directs a certain part of it.

While I would consider Pulp Fiction to be the best, at least in terms of uniqueness of structure and dialogue, I actually liked Jackie Brown better. Elmore Leonard writing and Quentin Tarantino directing is a hell of a combo, because while Tarantino is a fantastic director, Elmore Loenard actually has original ideas, rather than simply regurgitating everything he's ever seen in new patterns.

I really like Kill Bill. Especially part 1 and that last part with Bill at the very end of Part 2. Bill is one evil dude.

I'm looking forward to Sin City. Frank Miller + Tarantino will be crazy.

Pulp Fiction.

Pulp Fiction by a mile. He made his masterpiece early. I just recently watched Kill Bill 1+2. I liked it and Reservoir Dogs about the same. I would give Kill Bill the edge. I hope he makes a few more of the same caliber. Pulp Fiction is just to damn good

Sin City will be directed by Robert Rodriguez ( El Mariachi, Desperado, From Dusk 'til Dawn)
I believe QT is producer?

Pulp Fiction is still Quentin's best work so far...
perfect blend of humor, violence, pop culture, etc...

Pulp fiction, easily. I watched that movie with a buddy while in the military, and when we came out of the theater we were both like "what the fuck was that?! Lets go watch it again!"

Sin City will not be considered a Tarantino film.

His next film, Inglorious Bastards is currently in production.

Inglorious Bastards

As stated above, just a guest director. He is not listed as a producer.

Pulp Fiction.............

Bad Muthafucka
Kill Bill
Reservior Dogs
Four Rooms
Jackie Brown

Pulp is a magnitude of order above anything else he's done. Still waiting for something to top it.

Pulp Fiction by far. But don't forget about another good one, "From Dusk Till Dawn". He stared in it and wrote the screenplay.

+1 for "Pulp Fiction" Loved that movie.

I am looking forward to Inglorious Bastards.

I like alot of his movies, however I thought 4 Rooms was retarded. Kill Bill was a good saga, but I do think he should stick to realistic action dramas. His evil twists are not nearly as effective in fantasyland movies. Other ones worth mentioning are "True Romance" and "Hero". Nothing can beat Pulp Fiction. Next I would say Jackie Brown then Resevoir Dogs.

ETA: I don't think he's very good at choosing his roles in his own movies. For instance, trying to play a baddass fruity guy who is afraid of his wife in Pulp Fiction. He makes great movies and he's a very talented director, but he's to much of a fruit cake to play a badass if you ask me. Even the whole cast of Howard Stern were questioning the guys sexuality.

Still a great director reguardless.

yeah he's a shitty aweful shitty actor. He was originally going to play Lance's role in Pulp Fiction. I'm glad he didn't. The actor that did was our-fucking-standing.

Kill Bill sucked major ballz, Pulp on the otherhand is uber-great

Any of you guys liked True Romance?

Posted: 3/15/2005 9:06:31 PM EDT

[#26]

I could see him selling drugs as a hippy more than a guy who seems capable of bossing around hitmen though. (Lance was the heroin dealer, right?)

I bought the DVD Twice, so I could watch it again!!!!!!

That movie ROCKS!

(Actually, I bought it twice because I loaned to somebody, forgot, and bought it again, see my DVD Giveaway thread from last fall for more info....)

Jackie Brown, hands down. Pupl Fiction is close, but I liked the dialogue of JB better.

He didn't direct that one he wrote it. BTW I'm surprised no one has mentioned NBK which he
also (co?) wrote.

True Romance.

Ok he wrote it and sold it, and didnt direct it. But its still a kick ass movie with his name associated with it.

"Is it white-boy day?"

"No man, it aint white-boy day"

Val Kilmer
Christopher Walken
Brad Pitt
James Gandolfinni
Samuel L. Jackson
