Best Tarantino Flick

Post by Joe »

This may be kind of pointless (I suspect the favorite will be Pulp Fiction, by and large), but which Tarantino flick is your favorite?

(There is another Tarantino film that was made in the 80s, but I'm not familiar with it and I'm guessing most of you aren't either).

The only one of those I have seen is Pump Fiction.

Question: Does the DVD add any addition scenes compared to the tape?

Good film, but I hate Steve Buscemi. 1.) Just because I do, and 2.) Because my friend says I look like him, WHICH I DO NOT!!

Stupid Steve Buscemi... :x

Pulp Fiction. Love the bible verse bit, and how it can be (IS!) interpreted.

I'll buck the trend and say Reservoir Dogs. For me, it had far more power and depth, while Pulp Fiction was really just crammed with oodles upon oodles of Style and Cool (which I love, but I just happen to prefer power and depth more).

Let's just hope that "The Vega Brothers" gets made real soon.

I heard a rumor that RD was going to be made into a video game. No idea how they'd pull that one off... :?

He's making a new movie, and I'm more certain that the video game is going to be based off it: Kill Bill.

Look for people with last name Vega, Marvin Nash, authority figure Scagnetti, and possibly Marcellus or Joe Cabot references.

Watch out for the orange balloon!

"4 Rooms" would have been my choice, but Tarantino only directed 1/4 of it anyways.

You missed "true romance" and "from dusk till dawn" From dusk till dawn was the best by far.

I love the movie "Jackie Brown."

I haven't seen any of his films, but I've listened to parts of a few of them. Given that, I have no interest in seeing them. I don't really like how he does dialogue, primarily because he uses too many Mammit Dammits...

Again, he only wrote True Romance, but I really dig that movie.

I'll pick Resevoir Dogs, too. Awesome.

And don't forget Alabama as a recurring Tarantino character, either. :wink:

I would say RD is his best film. What seems like a premise so simple
and predictable, turns into an entertaining film. He did a great job.

Where's Dusk Till Dawn, True Romance, Natural Born Killers, and 4 rooms?

Nah, I voted for Resivour Dogs, along with "The Usual Suspects" are two of my faviorite modern underworld films.

Jackie Brown is easily my favorite.

Oh, and people, this is obviously about directing, not writing. So You can't say True Romance, From Dusk Till Dawn, or Natural Born Killers.
And you may ask yourself, 'Where does that highway go to?'

Pulp Fiction for me, the film has an edge over Reservoir Dogs in the way it is told, that and the man is a genius with dialogue.
