I analyze Clockwork Orange till this day.

Tarantino gives it all to you on one shot.

Is something a young QT was often trying to bottle and sell.
I own clockwork orange but I'm never in the mood to watch it.(again)

This is tough.

Pulp Fiction is arguably better than anything Kubrick has ever done. I know that seems like blasphemy to most people but PF is that good.

But if you were to take their careers as a whole...Kubrick has a better stable of films.
I don't think people appreciate the quality of the dialogue in Tarantino's films...even if his trend of gratuitous violence has gotten stale.

For those who talk about Tarantino's movies not aging well...I don't know how you could say that. I'm not a fan of the grindhouse stuff, but everything else is very good.
Who is watching Spartacus or The Killing today? Most people in this era only watch Full Metal Jacket and maybe The Shining. And The Shining really wasn't so great.

A battle of artistic appreciation. I loved Inglorious Basterds.... For what it was... It will never apples to apples compare to Full Metal.


Dr. Strangelove is off the chain to me. Some others... Its a wack bw movie.

Inglourious Basterds is incredible.

The opening...what? 15 minutes of that movie (?) is up there with anything I've ever seen. That Hans Landa confrontation was excellent. And the guy who played LaPadite was perfect.

theres something real weird about the dialogue in Stanley Kubrick movies, very echoey, and robotic and it annoys the shyt outta me
and thats because he likes filming in wide open spaces

I can watch a Tarantino filmed only inside a warehouse and the dialogue can just captivate me,

Pulp Fiction and Kill Bill are both in my top 10

This is blasphemy in some circles...
