Tarantino's filmography...what has aged the best, what has aged the most, most underrated, most overrated and more

[Poetical Poltergeist]

Yeah you can tell that flick was a black eye to dudes career because he hasn't been the same. It sucks because that double feature was amazing.

What they should have did was marketed as a limited edition once in a lifetime affair. Like have the flick be shown in a few theaters throughout the country. That way, you get curious dollars and people paying for the experience of a grindhouse flick, versus it just being a QT joint.

RR has a weird career. I forget sometimes he did The Faculty and The Spy Kids joints. Then he makes Sin City arguably his best work. Desperado and From Dusk till Dawn were already classics tho.

Machete could of been cool af and it's entertaining in a sense but it was done so generic. It had no style and didn't look grimey either. He went more low budget late night cable 80s/90s action look.

django i think aged the worst and is worst film overall. That or inglorious b*stards.

Edit: actually. No. Death proof is easily his worst. Even worse after a 2hr flick. All talking. shyt was trash.

Kill bill (1 movie imo) , pulp fiction are best
Best character: vincent vega
Underrated: bud kill bill 2
Best ost: kill bill (rza bias but still the vibes are eerie and best overal osts imo)
Best scene? Bill/bride or vincent/mia
Best acting? Leo in the cowboy scene ouatih
Funniest? I dont tip buscemi RD
Action kill bill crazy 88s

Underrated: jackie brown

Best actor to play multiple characters, overall in his movies (multiple characters) - Harvey Keitel

I'm gonna change this to Samuel L Jackson. I mean...he was absolutely 10/10 as Jules, as that miserable piece of shyt Stephen, as Ordell in jackie brown, and was the best part of the hateful 8. Stole the show in each of them. It's not really close.

EDIT: and I'd put Tim Roth above Keitel too tbh.

I might be the only that feels Death Proof was the his last great flick from the start to finish

My problem is the first half of the movie. Too many dive bars in Austin for that many chicks that we'd consider 7s to hang out with each other over a four day weekend, especially if they had history in high school (poiter daughter and rose mcgowen).

It might just be me but I hate Jackie Brown

It might just be me but I hate Jackie Brown

I like it, it just not Reservoir dogs or pulp fiction

 

[Ed MOTHERFUCKING G]

It might just be me but I hate Jackie Brown

it is definitely trying harder than most of his movies. Like, it feels like the Chrysler 300 version of Pulp Fiction's Rolls Royce

especially coming off of Reservoir and Pulp. Then it's sandwiched in between KB1 & 2...yikes

To me, you can divide his work into two categories/periods:

-The crime drama/comedy

-The historical fantasy/comedy

My favorites are always the crime dramas. Jackie Brown and Pulp Fiction, felt like real people, in relate able scenarios, even amidst shootings and killings and madness. The seductiveness and vulnerability of Pam Grier, the humor, romance chemistry between Uma and Travolta.

A scene that underscore Tarantino at his best, is the bathroom scene in Pulp Fiction. When Vincent and Uma are on a chemistry soaked course to sleep together, and he's having a moment in the bathroom. "You going to go home - jerk off - and that's all you going to do", which was going to probably be undone the moment he tried it, but fate gets in the way.

His later work almost lost all of that human touch, but I still enjoy it.

I just watched Kill Bill Vol. 1 again last night, that whole Crazy 88 sequence is peak cinema

 

[Poetical Poltergeist]

His 90s movies have that VHS feel still and just have more of an identity. Ever since kill bill his movies feel like compilations.
