I'll vote for Jackie Brown. I like most others as well, however I found Jackie Brown that tiny little bit more down to earth than most others that made me relate to it better.

I like most of Tarantino's films. Jacky Brown was maybe a weaker instalment after Reservoir Dogs and Pulp Fiction, but it remains a solid film (and one of the few with a great character development - maybe Tarantino's weakest point...). The only disappointments to me were Kill Bill vol. 2 (a bit too demonstrative to my liking) and Death Proof. The latter is really a bad film, but in that sense a successful homage to the Grindhouse films (which in my opinion are all bad).

I don't really get on with Tarantino because his non-linear style of narrative confuses me, and I find it difficult to follow what's going on. I don't mind films with the odd flashback scene or two when it helps to fill in bits of vital back story so that the film makes sense, but Tarantino seems to jump all over the place time-wise. Don't mind Reservoir Dogs tho.

Even though Tarantino is rooted in gritt and realisme, hes films have a fantastical (subtle) elements) mostly comes through as surrealisme. Hes collab with Robert Rodriguez on Sin City is very cool, would be cool to see him delve into fantasy or sci-fi in future movie projects.

A Coen brothers film poll has been done (at the beginning of the same year you joined), but it's out of date (otherwise I'd unlock it). I voted for Miller's Crossing. I'd like a Wes Anderson one at some time (I'd vote for The Grand Budapest Hotel). I have done many film polls, but I might lie do a sort of comedy/crime one that could include people like the Coen Bros, Wes Anderson, Tarantino and I would want In Bruges there (a film that was mentioned to me at PA that I really loved). .

I ended up voting Kill Bill myself, too. I like both parts equally and I think it's best to watch them as one film (time permitting...). I think there's a version edited by Tarantino himself into one film? 

Coen brothers comparison is indeed interesting. I think they have mostly the same audience as Tarantino. 

Coen brothers movie poll would be in order.

On thig I've thought of Tarantino is that he does cool, and tries to be cool, while not being at all cool as a person. It can be cringe, but I find that kind of cool in itself. I can understand someone thinking that his films are superficial, and more style than substance, but to me there is a certain depth to the films, like with Jackie Brown, which I found at the time a more mature film from him. I do like his characters and plotting.

By, the way, since I voted for Kill Bill. I think of both parts as one film really (Tarantino had wanted to make it one film), but it is the second part that most appeals to me. I love everything about part 2, whereas I've heard some people love part one (which is more action focused) and find part two boring. I heard many call Once Upon A Time In Hollywood very dull for much of the film, but I really enjoyed it the whole way through and I liked the change of pace.

It's interesting for me to compare the works of the Coen Brothers to Tarantino, incidentally.

Hi,

An awareness that many folks did not exactly follow up on, as if they were boring and not interesting movies. No one went to see any Godard films for Umma's haircut! And no one went to look for a film that made fun of an American cheeseburger! And many of the "references" were just a casual word here or there switched around ... at least Godard and Truffaut did not do that ... they went further than just a set of words, and helped "develop" the film's ideas even better, although I think that a lot of these things were likely improvised and that they simply "worked" while being filmed and a scripted version was not as good.

I appreciate Tarantino's his help in the awareness, don't get me wrong, however, in seeing his films, I mostly saw a hollow attempt of making use of a line or two to make it look like it was a reference to another film or two ... but it made his actors believe in something else ... an odd/weird/valuable bit of eccentric behavior that helped the characters in each film ... and that is something that EVERY ACTOR and ACTRESS values a lot, as it helps in the development and creation of a character for the stage or film ... no one will think that those bits are not important or helpful.

I think Tarantino is a master of structure, pacing and choosing exactly right actors for roles. He showed all this already on Reservoir Dogs. 

All his references and homages to other films show great love of cinema itself. In a way all his movies (maybe excluding RD) are also about movies. I think he has brought many gems from the past to at least slightly wider awareness.

Only like / have seen the first three.


I remember one summer in my twenties with a couple friends, we had PF on vhs or dvd.. (there was no tv signal there, nor cable and much less internet!) and between fooling around at nights at the local 'disco-pub' 'till late, we saw it again every other day! LOL  never got bored..

PF: it has a great structure, energy, wit and pace, how it ends adds a lot to my note because of what is given significance, ie the last word given to a guy who surprizingly dismisses his heartless hitman's lifestyle, rather than given to those who remain in that hitman world and are shown in the last chronological events of the story, earlier in the film.

I like them all, some more than others though, but my favourite are the Kill Bills; and the first one is my wife's all time favourite movie.

I love Tarantino films, but it has to be Kill Bill for me. I have no idea how many times I've seen Kill Bill.

By the way, yes Tarantino is imitative and deliberately references/pays homage to various films and filmmakers and styles, and to me that does adds another level of enjoyment.  It's the dark humour that makes his films extra good for me.
