6. Death Proof
5. Kill Bill Vol. 1
4. Jackie Brown
3. Kill Bill Vol. 2
2. Reservoir Dogs
1. Pulp Fiction

Anyway, regardless of how I rank them, I absolutely love all six and rewatch some of them on a regular basis. Death Proof is a great mindless exploitation fun, and KB1 is one of the most entertaining films I've ever seen; but they just aren't deep, they are great fun and nothing more, and that's why I have them in the bottom of my list. I watched Jackie Brown for the first time less than a month ago, I thought it was great and had some of the Tarantino's best characters. It was no masterpiece, just an excellent film, nothing incredible, but no flaws either. I love Kill Bill 2 for it's dialogue, its spaghetti western-ess and for what is easily the best performance David Carradine has ever given – I thought he deserved all kinds of awards for that. Uma Thurman, Daryl Hannah and especially Michael Madsen were outstanding too, and I believe there lies Tarantino's greatest strength as the director: he's able to get brilliant performances out of any actors, even the ones you thought were mediocre, and I think all the actors in his films gave either their best or some of their best performances under his direction. Reservoir Dogs is a brilliant little film with great dialogue, plot and acting, and what can I say about what is my single favourite movie ever, Pulp Fiction? Two words: simply perfect.

Overall, Tarantino is one of my favourite directors working today, and I can't tell you how psyched I am for Inglourious Basterds and the performance of Christoph Waltz in particular. I won't be the least bit surprised if IB ends up being my favourite movie of the year. Just can't wait.

TOP 4 was the hardest part… I don't like Jackie Brown very much. I think because it's not QT's screenplay. Samuel L. Jackson was the bigest disappointment. Death Proof was little pit boring now and then, but still entertaining. Top 4 is far far far from Death Proof and Jackie Brown! I could say they all are number one's for me, but Kill Bill Vol. 2 is not so good as number one. Those 4 are simply genius!!! :)

3. Kill Bill: Volume One
2. Pulp Fiction
1. Reservoir Dogs

I'm hoping the Whole Bloody Affair would make a unified Kill Bill a solid number 4, ranked behind Pulp Fiction at 3 and the theatrical release of Grindhouse at 2 (if only).

I know it's not technically a QT flick (writer/actor) but From Dusk Till Dawn (along with Full Tilt Boogie and the enjoyable sequels) makes for a great afternoon.

6. Jackie Brown: Like Brad, this movie rubs me the wrong way every time I see it. The difference is that while Brad liked it on subsequent viewings, I didn't.

5. Kill Bill: Volume 2: If I was making this list five years ago, this would be at #2 but after numerous viewings on DVD, Blu-ray, and TV I find that this film drags to a standstill at times. Uma may be the focus here but the late David Carradine's performance for me is still the gem of this picture.

4. Reservoir Dogs: Being a Ringo Lam fan, after seeing this film for the first time I was pissed off that people were calling this a masterpiece. But after subsequent viewings I began to enjoy the banter between Keitel and Buscemi, Keitel and Madsen, etc. I still don't think it's the masterpiece many people say it is but I now consider it a damn good if flawed film.

3. Death Proof: Most of my friends HATED Tarantino's segment in the Grindhouse double feature but I LOVED it. I loved the dialogue being used as the calm before the two storms in this film. On top of this, the action is absolutely top notch.

2. Kill Bill: Volume 1: Compared to Volume 2's turtle pace, this one is a sure fire jackrabbit. I enjoyed every second of this film. It may be derivative at times but it is a rush of a film.

1. Pulp Fiction: I doubt Tarantino will ever top his only masterpiece. Every character, every scene, every shot, and every musical choice here is perfection. Every time this is on TV, no matter what scene it's on, I HAVE to finish the movie. All his other films have at least one stutter but this one flows beautifully and constantly from beginning to end.

7 movies (that's counting Kill Bill twice) in 17 years?

And OMG, Death Proof is painful to watch, just fast forward until you see Zoe Bell getting on the car. Save yourself and hour an a half.

I haven't seen Jackie Brown so that won't be on the list, but it would have to be

1. Pulp Fiction
2. Reservoir Dogs
3. Kill Bill vol. 2
4. Kill Bill vol. 1
5. Death Proof

to me, Death Proof was Quentin Tarantinos 'look at how great I am at writing dialogue' movie. a lot of it is just mindless dialogue with plot. but it's mostly the dialogue

His top four is a pretty solid set for sure. For me, I can't say I get much out of the first hour of Death Proof, which features, in my opinion, the worst dialogue of Tarantino's career, largely delivered poorly. After that it goes like this.

5. Kill Bill Vol. 2 : Excellent first 2/3, stumbles with the actual Bill parts.
4. Kill Bill Vol. 1 : Fantastic fun and his best soundtrack.
3. Jackie Brown : It does get better every time. Only at three because one and two are absolute gems.
2. Reservoir Dogs : Beyond awesome, with my favorite all time Keitel performance.
1. Pulp Fiction : Can rewatch this one anytime, anyplace and enjoy the hell out of it. The script, with Roger Avary's forgotten help, is to die for, the acting working on all levels and sensational ending.

Let me start by saying I think that Pulp Fiction is the best one in my opinion, but to rank my favorites is as follows:

6. Death Proof – to be last on a list of Tarantino is still a mark of note in my opinion

5. Kill Bill Vol 1 – Loved this movie but the action absorbed too much of the film for me. Tarantino's dialogue is his strength and I wish there was more and I wish this film was about ten to twenty minutes longer

4. Jackie Brown – I didnt know what to think of this movie the first time I watched it, but seriously, how many movies have as much style as this one. Particularly Robert Forster who I thought was amazing.

3. Pulp Fiction – Like I said, this is the best one as far as quality, but I agree with Brad that certain scenes lagged, and as much as I hate to say it because I love Bruce Willis, it was mostly his scenes. But this movie oozed with style as well

2. Kill Bill Vol 2 – I have one word for why this is as high as I have placed it, David Carradine. I can watch the first 1 and 40 minutes intently just in anticipation of his scenes with Thurman because he was truly a unique character with a lot of substance. Plus his voice fits the dialogue so well that it almost paces the entire scene

1. Reservoir Dogs – This has the best dialogue of all the Tarantino's which is why it is on the top of my list. I also liked the way that the plot developed because to me, it seemed that the dialogue and its tone changed with the direction of the plot and it just carried so well I loved it. Plus, Mr Pink and Mr Blonde are enough to make this in my all time top 3 favorite movies.

I will say that of all the Tarantino's that I have seen, I am most excited for Basterds b/c I want to see what his style does to the WW2 movie genre.

I have to throw this out, does anyone think we will ever see a day where Daniel Day-Lewis is in a QT movie? To me, that would be the most anticipated movie of my life.

6) Death Proof- This is the one Tarantino movie that really doesn't do it for me.

5) Jackie Brown- I thought it was awesome, but lacking a little more than the others. Who cares though, it has Bob.

4) Kill Bill: Vol. 2- For me, it is really neck and neck between the two volumes.

3) Kill Bill: Vol. 1- It was probably the Crazy 88's scene that gave Vol. 1 the edge.

2) Reservoir Dogs- Saw this movie when I was about 10 years old, it was amazing then, and it's amazing now. Mr. Blonde is one of my favorite characters of all time.

1) Pulp Fiction- This is my favorite film of all time. Every scene is just amazing. It never gets old, and I don't see there ever being better dialogue in a movie.

Is it really true Tarantino blasted Kubrick? There's that rumor going around on the internet. Kubrick's far better.

I've really enjoyed reading reviews for IB. The Weinsteins are desperate for this to make a lot of money so there's funny fake reviews everywhere. Cheap advertising. Hope it's good, still think the script sucked. There's very little "poetry" in the dialog; he keeps gushing about his literary masterpiece this and genius that….borrring.

Still, this is the most anticipated movie of the summer for me, even if it's terrible. I doubt it will top Transformers 2 though.

What all of you haven't noticed yet is that Kill Bill is one movie split into two parts, therefor you cannot judge them separately because both halves are intrinsically intertwined with each other. Vol 1 would be nothing without Vol 2, without Vol 2 there would be nothing explaining the story behind Vol 1. So in my opinion if you were to list Tarantino's movies from best to worst, then you would have to rate both Volumes as one movie (and for any of you keeping track of them, he is combining to two into one as I type this). SO now that I have made my point here is how I list the movies.

5. Death Proof (still a great movie)
4. Jackie Brown
3. Kill Bill
2. Pulp Fiction
1. Reservoir Dogs

These are in the order of what I consider my favorites, not what is objectively good or bad.

Plus I just wanted to say to Brad that I disagree with your judgement of Four Rooms. I agree the first two segments are nothing too special. I really enjoyed the latter segments though. I don't understand why you don't think Tarantino's segment is sub par, I felt it was the best segment of the entire movie. Yes robert rodruiguez's segment was excellent, but the dialogue in Tarantino's segment is just as good as it ever has been. Certainly the best part of the movie and a great way to close it out.

And thank you Brad for giving Death Proof props, I feel people don't really get how good of a movie it really is.

5. Killing Zoe
4. True Romance
3. Kill Bill 1 & 2 the way it should be
2. Natural Born Killers
1. Pulp Fiction

Dogs was great so was Dusk. This has gotta be the list though.

FROM BRAD: True Romance and Killing Zoe were not directed by Quentin Tarantino.

5-Death Proof
4-Reservoir Dogs
3-Jackie Brown
2-Pulp Fiction
1-Kill Bill

I think if you consider the story of The Bride in Kill Bill Volume 1 and 2 as a whole entity (also, as Tarantino wanted it) it has to be number one, in my opinion, simply because it is informed and filled with the great things about QT's other work. I cannot wait for Basterds Friday, CANNOT WAIT!

Come on TS, Natural Born Killers? And Tarantino had no involvement in Killing Zoe, that was all Roger Avery.

The scene with Dennis Hopper and Christopher Walken in True Romance is one of the best scenes in movie history.

@Hannu: Tarantino did write Jackie Brown though. Not sure what you mean. Are you referring to the fact it was an adaptation?

6. Death Proof – Worst opening hour to any Tarantino movie
5. Kill Bill 2 – Good movie, just not as good as the first
4. Jackie Brown – Gets better with repeated viewings
3. Kill Bill 1 – Tarantino in top form
2. Resevoir Dogs – Some of the best dialogue you'll find in a movie
1. Pulp Fiction – Saw it six times in the theater

What about his screenplays? True Romance is brilliant! specially Dennis hopper vs Chris Walken!

My Best Friend's Wedding is available on YouTube… it's only a short…

go find it for yourselves, I aint putting a link here you lazy swines.

6. Death Proof
7. Kill Bill (vo. 2)

OK. I've been a lurker for quite a while to this website and never posted, but I am a Tarantino fan all the way. I have a toddler and a baby and never get to see movies in the theater anymore, but go out of my way to see his films. When I saw the title of the post, I made out my list and it matched up exactly with Brad's. This would not have gotten me to post except that I caught a lot of slack from most people I know because I like Kill Bill 1 better than 2. Glad to see I am not alone. If I were to rank "The Man from Hollywood" in this list, I would put it at #4 above Jackie Brown. Pulp Fiction is my #1 of all time, made me love movies even more than I did before.

Just read Jon's post and would love to see Daniel Day Lewis in a Tarantino film. Would still be tough to top Pulp Fiction.

It would be great if you did this for Hayao Miyazaki's films, i would love to see how you would rate them !!

FROM BRAD: I still have a few of his films to see, but it would be a fun list to put together. I am hoping for a Blu-ray collection of his films one day. I would eat that up in a second.

@GregM:

If you're not a fan of film don't bother watching "Death Proof" because you won't understand it.

After watching "Inglorious Basterds" for the second time in theaters this past weekend I was able to catch "The Naked and the Dead" on television, starring Aldo Ray and Cliff Robertson. Just like films such as that influenced "Inglorious Basterds", and the blacksploitation films of the seventies influenced "Jackie Brown", there is a whole sleu of 70's B action flicks that inspired 'Death Proof". So once again, if you're not a fan of film, don't bother.
