My favorite Tarantino film after Pulp Fiction. Great dialogue with alot of memorable
characters. Great movie that had too much to live up to in the shadow of PF. Anybody?

I love it. My collector's edition DVD set has the entire "Chicks Who Love Guns" video QT shot for the film.

Worst Tarantino movie ever! But still better than 99% of the movies out there. And I liked it better than the Elmore Leonard book.

AK-47, when you have to kill every MF'r in the room!

Would "True Romance" or "Natural Born Killers" count as Tarantino movies also? If so then NBK is the worst, no fault of QT though. If he had directed instead of Stone.......

I'd put "Jackie Brown" ahead of "Kill Bill" IMHO. If only for Pam Grier

My favorite is Pulp Fiction and then the Kill Bills.

1) Pulp Fiction
2) Kill Bill II
3) Kill Bill I
4) NBK
5) True Romance
6) Jackie Brown
7) Four Rooms
8) Vampire movie with Rodriquez

Upon further reflection, some parts of Jackie Brown are as good as Tarantino has ever done. I just so hate Michael Keaton in that movie. Forester, Greer, Fonda, stoner DeNiro were all so good.

Jackie Brown is most certainly my second favorite QT movie, after Pulp Fiction, of course. The Kill Bill movies, lets face it, sucked donkey balls. Listen to the dialogue in KB and then in JB....there's no comparison. Kill Bill's lines are just BAD. Yes, they are intentionally bad. But the important part of the phrase 'intentionally bad' isn't 'intentionally' - just because I knew what they were doing with it doesn't make it any better.

Jackie Brown had good characters, good quotable dialogue and great understated acting (especially by Robert Forster and Pam Grier). I had the two-disc edition, but lost it in the past year along with 90% of my other DVD's. It had the 'Chicks Who Love Guns' segment with six women, but when watching the movie it seems like there were more in the video that didn't make it into the special feature.

I throughly enjoyed Jackie Brown. It's definatley one of Tarantino's best.

I thought the filming of the same scene over and over again from different view points was great.

As far as dialogue, in Kill Bill Tarantino was going for cheese. I'd say he got it. A tribute to all the old, cheesy Kung Fu/Karate movies of the 70's.

A big +1 on that. And IMHO she's even hotter now than she was in the '70s.

I believe in truth in advertising.

I don't think I could pull off a handle like Terminator_McBadass.

+1,000,087 Kill bill sucked, they took a three hour movie and cut it in half to make twice the money. The first ~~one~~half sucked so bad that I don't ever want to see the second. It is a Perfect example of a director that is full of himself in full movie masterbation mode. Pulp Fiction is awesome, Res Dogs is second, and Jackie Brown is third, I have true romance on the way from netflix right now
