What is your favorite Tarantino film?
 

Okay, folks, which Tarantino film is the best?

Reservoir Dogs
From Dusk To Dawn
Pulp Fiction
Jackie Brown
Kill Bill (haven't seen it yet--please, no spoilers!)

pulp fiction because its pulp fiction. :D

I wouldn't consider From Dusk Till Dawn a Tarantino movie and I don't think Tarantino does either; he did have a part in the writing (and acting of course) but he didn't direct it. I can't decide between Pulp Fiction and Jackie Brown as favorites go. Pulp Fiction has unforgettable, engaging dialogue and weaves the story of three parties really well. Jackie Brown is a lot more sincere than Tarantino's other films and still manages to have a frantic plot and good dialogue. I haven't seen Kill Bill yet but I'm trying not to build it up to unattainable standards.

Yeah, I wasn't sure about that one. That would explain the subheader on Kill Bill:

Quentin Tarantino's Fourth Film

i had to pick Pulp FIction... but that may change since i´m about to go and see Kill Bill.

Pulp Fiction baby!

i like pulp fiction the best. but why isn't true romance listed?

I had to go with Kill Bill... Even though I feel that True Romance (which he wrote and didn't produce) and even Killing Zoey (which he produced but didn't write) are better movies.

Kill Bill is a wild ride into a red-wet katana.

Has anyone seen "FOUR ROOMS story.4" -he supposed wrote, directed, produced, -etc. that one.

Four Rooms was kinda odd. A bit like Pulp Fiction, but not even close to Pulp. Im pretty sure (its been awhile) 'Four rooms' had 4 directors, each with their own room in a hotel, and the blah blah whatever else that went with that. Kinda boring.

Oh yea, voted for Pulp Fiction :D

I had to go Kill Bill, i just cant get over how good it is. I love Pulp Fiction, Jackie Brown and Reservoir Dogs though.

Tarantino did the fourth room in Four Rooms. That movie is very strange. The first room is crap, but they get better after that one. It's painfully obvious which room is Tarantino's. I'd say it's worth checking out though.. it's very funny at times.

As far as the subject on hand, I think I'm too hard pressed to choose. I like all of them for different reasons. I haven't seen Kill Bill either, so I wouldn't feel right voting anyway.

I liked Four Rooms, but its been ages since I've seen it. I just saw True Romance the other day and I thought it was pretty good. I voted for Pulp Fiction. It was really tough between Pulp Fiction and Resevoir Dogs, I really liked both of them. Kill Bill has been good so far, but I'm not saying anything until I see the second part.

Well, I'll put in a vote for Reservoir Dogs. Stylish, harrowing and gritty with great performances. Tim Roth played one of the best gunshot victims ever.

Pulp Fiction, with Kill Bill a close second!

Reservoir Dogs. I have not seen Kill Bill or Jackie Brown, though, so my vote's pretty useless.

Pulp Fiction definately. It's just a great film.

voted for Resevoir dogs, but probably because I just watched it this weekend. Can really vote for any and not be wrong [haven't seen Kill Bill yet, have to wait for the DVD--ah, the joys of being a new parent!]

Yeah Pulp Fiction for me.

I think each film has a uniqueness and appeal of its own.

For me, Pulp Fiction was the best. The Uma/Travolta dance was quite memorable and the best quotable dialogue:

Fabienne: Whose motorcycle is this?
Butch: It's a chopper, baby.
Fabienne: Whose chopper is this?
Butch: It's Zed's.
Fabienne: Who's Zed?
Butch: Zed's dead, baby. Zed's dead.

See I'm going to have to go with Resvoir Dogs here that was my all time favorite

I thought kill bill was the best just because it had everything in it you needed for a movie. I never like pulp fiction because of John Travolta. I know some people would shoot me for saying that, but I just can't stand the guy.

pulp fiction. absolutely classic.

pulp fiction is the only movie i could watch 10 or 50 times and not get tired of. other tarantino movies are great too though, just not as great.

I voted Resevoir Dogs. I haven't seen Jackie Brown but I doubt that would change my opinion. I'm not a big Tarantino fan. Resevoir Dogs seemed like the only movie with a point, but that's just me.

Pulp Fiction without a doubt although its funny stumbled across this thread cuz in about 2 hours im gonna go see Kill Bill. Maybe ill have to come back and update my opinion but for now! definetly Pulp Fiction

ok, i am officially changing my vote.

i initially voted for Pulp Fiction, i´m now changing my mind and voting for Kill Bill.

i saw this yesterday, and was absolutely blown away.

Pulp Fiction won best picture. It has Samuel L. Jackson. It has John Travolta. It has Uma Thurman. It's funny and freaking good. Top 3 of all time for me.

Reservoir Dogs, no doubt about it. The only Tarantino film I like.

Reservoir Dogs, though I haven't seen Kill Bill yet.

Reservoir Dogs.


"Are you gonna bark all day little doggie, or are you gonna bite?"

I went w/ Pulp.... it was close between that and dogs.

And if you're gonna include From Dusk Til Dawn shouldn't Natural Born Killers be included?

I thought he did a large chunk of writing for that.

And Golden Girls

Pulp fiction is definately the classic that will never die, although Kill Bill ranks a close second.

Pulp Fiction
Have not seen Kill Bill yet.
I have liked them all so far.

Saw Kill Bill last night, though great, it is still not better than pulp.

Pulp>All

Very close but would say Dogs that one ive watched most on dvd anyway.

I love Jackie Brown. The woman is so smart, sexy, and in control of everything.

I also love that she's black but they never make a big deal about that.

Well, I love Pulp Fiction, but I think that all of Tarantino's films are brilliant.

I think it's only fair to go with Pulp Fiction here, though I feel that both Kill Bill and Resevoir Dogs are brilliant films.

Also, while I rate Kill Bill equally with Pulp Fiction, I think it's only fair to wait until Volume 2 is released next year before making any calls on it.

Tarantino rules though.

It's a toss up between Pulp and Reservoir Dogs, but I think I will go with Reservoir Dogs.

I'm leaning towards Kill Bill, but Ive got to see volume 2 first.

Pulp Fiction! Samuel L. Jackson was great in that film.

I'd say Pulp Fiction by far, but I've really liked all his stuff. I haven't seen Kill Bill yet though. I could go see it tonight, but my wife wants to see "Love Actually" so I guess we'll be watching that. (grumble grumble).

I don't know what it is about Pulp Fiction or From Dusk to Dawn, but it seems like I wind up watching them just about every time they come on HBO or another movie channel. I guess I should buy the DVDs.

I have to say Reservoir Dogs. I saw that at a film festival before any hype got to it, and it just blew me away. I love it when you go and see a film which hasn't been hyped and you come out thinking bloody hell that was brilliant.

None of the others have come close to the impact Reservoir Dogs had on me, so I'm going with that one!

Can't believe I haven't posted in here yet. Gotta go with the first one I saw, Pulp Fiction.

Resevior Dogs, I enjoyed that more then the others overall.

From Dusk To Dawn
one of the few who did it seems.

I also enjoyed Kill Bill

but there's just too much fun in FD2D, and it's not too weird.
come on...just seeing Cheech's speech on pussy is a classic. :cool:

Pulp Fiction ... once Vol2 for Kill Bill is out I believe I may have to change my answer .. Vol1 was an incredible flick, well worth the wait between films

Pulp Fiction.. althought I have yet to see the second volume to Kill Bill... after I have seen the ENTIRE movie, not just half of it, things MAY change, but I think it'll be tough beating Pulp ;)... oh man.. please pardon that pun.. heh

Cant beat Pulp Fiction.

Jules: Whoa... whoa... whoa... stop right there. Eatin' a bitch out, and givin' a bitch a foot massage ain't even the same fuckin' thing.
Vincent: Not the same thing, but it's the same ballpark.
Jules: It ain't no fuckin' ballpark either. Look maybe your method of massage differs from mine, but touchin' a lady's feet, and stickin' your tongue in her holiest of holies, ain't the same fuckin ballpark, it ain't the same league, it ain't even the same fuckin' sport. Foot massages don't mean shit.

Vincent: And you know what they call a... a... a Quarter Pounder with Cheese in Paris?
Jules: They don't call it a Quarter Pounder with cheese?
Vincent: No man, they got the metric system. They wouldn't know what the fuck a Quarter Pounder is.
Jules: Then what do they call it?
Vincent: They call it a "Royale" with cheese.
Jules: A "Royale" with cheese! What do they call a Big Mac?
Vincent: A Big Mac's a Big Mac, but they call it "le Big-Mac".
Jules: "Le Big-Mac"! Ha ha ha ha! What do they call a Whopper?
Vincent: I dunno, I didn't go into Burger King.

Butch: You okay?
Marsellus: Naw man. I'm pretty fuckin' far from okay!
Butch: What now?
Marsellus: What now? Well let me tell you what now. I'm gonna call a couple of pipe-hittin' niggers, who'll go to work on homes here with a pair of pliers and a blow torch. Hear me talkin' hillbilly boy? I ain't through with you by a damn sight. I'm gonna get medieval on your ass.

Vincent: That's a pretty fucking good milkshake. I don't know if it's worth five dollars but it's pretty fucking good.

Esmeralda: What is your name?
Butch: Butch.
Esmeralda: What does it mean?
Butch: I'm American, honey. Our names don't mean shit.

Jimmie: Now let me ask you a question, Jules. When you drove in here, did you notice a sign out in front that said, "Dead nigger storage"?
Jules: Jimmie...
Jimmie: Answer the question! Did you see a sign out in front of my house that said "Dead nigger storage"?
Jules: Naw man, I didn't.
Jimmie: You know why you didn't see that sign?
Jules: Why?
Jimmie: 'Cause storin' dead niggers ain't my fuckin' business!

I said Kill Bill for my vote.

I liked Four Rooms (I have a promotional front desk bell right next to me!) but thought it lacked verve.

Pulp Fiction, R-Dogs, two of my favorite movies. Killing Zoe, Dusk Till Dawn I liked as well. Kill Bill tho...for me, Vol 1 stands on its own. Can't wait for 2.

pulp fiction, hands down...

Should we even count "From Dusk Till Dawn." Technically, Robert Rodriguez directed the movie. Quentin only co-wrote (if that, I heard the other guy Kurtman or something like that did the majority of the writing because Quentin was already working on Jackie Brown) and acted in the movie. Personally, I voted for Pulp Fiction. Not only his best movie but one of the finest movies of the 20th century. I could watch the final scene in the diner all day. Watching Sam Jackson perform, talking to Tim Roth is like watching Itzhak Perlman play his violin or Pablo Picasso paint. Its art. The fact that he was robbed of his Oscar for the performance was and is a travesty second only to Oscar that wasn't bestowed upon Peter O'Toole for Lawrence of Arabia. Sam deserved that Oscar.

Pulp fiction, because I can recite the lines.

Agreed
but they're all great

He actually put "Taratino's Fourth Film" on Kill Bill, and that should mean something definitive to all those in question.

Reservoir Dogs
Pulp Fiction
Jackie Brown
Kill Bill: Vol. 1

As for me, Pulp Fiction is one of the best movies ever. It's a fuckin classic. Samuel L. Jackson was, is, and always will be the fuckin MAN. It's so incredibly written and directed, and it lives to infinity. I can't watch it enough.

Great thread.

I voted for Reservoir Dogs. I really like the acting and dialogue in that one.
Actually I've seen all of his movies without having a clue what they were about. That has been some great experiences!
The first of his movies I saw was Pulp Fiction. I was 15 years old when I saw it, and I had no idea what it was about. I was amazed, it was so cool.
But I'll always have a thing for From Dusk Till Dawn. I went to see this movie alone, some afternoon. Only thing I had heard about it was: "it's cool".
And that's what I thought it was, cool movie about some guys on the run, lots of shooting and cars. Then all hell broke loose. I had NO idea that THAT was going to happen! Suddenly vampires all over the place, sexy dancing, blood, crosses. And I was around 16 years old - the best experience of those years.
Jackie Brown was alright, cool music, but not a movie I'll see again and again.
And I can't wait to see Kill Bill vol. 2, there was something good about that movie - buried underneath all the overly done violence (like seeing that girls brain)

i went with Pulp Fiction, but Jackie Brown is a close second for me

Not overly done violence, but perfectly done violence.

Well, most of the violence was great, yes. But some shots were just to please the 14-year-olds, in my opinion. They did nothing to enhance the scene, and we just gratuitous. Especially the scene with the scalping, and the brain showing. Hannibal did the same, lots of girls screamed "gross" but it just looked stupid and too much.

Pulp Fiction... hands down. Can't forget the Ezekiel Speech by Samuel L. Jackson! :cool:

Pulp Ficxtion, it introduced to Tarantino's works.

Haven't seen Kill Bill, but I have seen the all of the others.

I love Pulp, but my fav has to be Resevoir Dogs.

Pulp Fiction.

It was a close call between that and Reservoir Dogs, since both films amply have what Tarantino excels at: great dialogue and plot.

After seeing Kill Bill vol.1 I sure as hell hope that vol.2 will be good, because the first part was all fight scenes, no dialogue of worth. That's why I was pissed that he split the thing in two. Maybe seeing volumes 1 and 2 as a complete unit would make it better than Pulp Fiction, but that second part would have to be epic to do so.

"I used the same fucking soap you did and when I was finished my towel didn't look like no goddamn Maxi Pad!"

How could you NOT love that!

I have no favorite, I love every single one of Tarantino's films, one's I currently own are Pulp Fiction, From Dusk til Dawn, Reservoir Dogs, I need to pick up Jackie Brown then Kill Bill and I'll have hiz collection.

I voted Pulp Fiction, but as others here have stated, I LOVED Kill Bill: Volume I but will need to wait for Volume II before I can make a final decision. Speaking of which, who else can't wait until February?

Pulp Fiction probably

Pulp Fiction, but I haven't seen Kill Bill yet.

Im a big fan of Samurai flicks so Kill Bill was more of a campy comedy parody than an action flick in my book *even though I feel like a pedophile for my big crush on Go-Go*

Pulp Fiction is definately the best of the bunch. True Romance is one of my favorite movie's ever though just because it never went like you expected it to.

i oved from dusk till dawn the titty twister ruled and it was a great movie to watch with friends

Of those listed, I went with Pulp Fiction.

Personal favorite, though, is Tarantino's room in Four Rooms.

I'm gonna have to go with Reservoir Dogs on this one. I've always been a huge fan of Pulp Fiction, but I kinda grew sick of it with all the hype surrounding it. Reservoir Dogs is just quality Tarantino - its slick, yet gritty, and has a mind-boggling soundtrack.

Looks like this is a landslide victory for Pulp but I threw my vote up for Reservoir Dogs. Pulp Fiction is a close second for me but you just can't beat his first effort. Reservoir Dogs is such an amazing movie you just gotta love it.

i chose kill bill over pulp fiction because i LOVE the martial arts fighting themes, and when she goes to get the her sword (i cant remember the name of the guy who made it).

i am ashamed to say i havent seen reservoir dogs yet but hvae heard a lot about it and from reading this it is worth the hype.

i just got true romance on DVD... pretty good. pulp fiction is still the master.
