Is obviously the best movie director.
Kill Bill, Inglorious Basterds, Pulp Fiction, Django Unchained.
Top-tier movies.

Kill Bill is probably one of my favorite movies. It's somewhere in my top 5.

I noticed that many of the actors in Inception returned in The Dark Knight Returns. Thought that was pretty cool since I never noticed that before
Yeah Nolan is a good director indeed

Kill Bill,

It was good action movie, but the plot itself and some of the results of it were just fucking tragedy. Especially the ending and that truth serum bullshit.

Inglorious Basterds,

It was good indeed, the only thing I would have against would be the actor who played Hitler.

Pulp Fiction,

Agreed.

Django Unchained.

This movie was fucking terrible. It was as cheesy as other Tarantino movies, but it wasn't any good. Also as far as I remember there was some terrible historical mistake about KKK, like they weren't allowed to be there in the first place.

Top-tier movies.

How old are you, seriously? Not even naming Reservoir Dogs

Aw. It's definitely in the Top 5 of my personal favourites. I was aware of the KKK historical mistake but it doesn't bother me that much. There are many historical mistakes but they don't ruin the movie.

I intentionally didn't name all of his movies, pls don't get mad

True Romance, From Dusk Till Dawm and 4 Rooms are also great

Tarantino is great, but Inglorious and Django left a bad taste in my mouth.

Way too Hollywood.

I'd say he's a top tier director, but Scorsese is the best director in my opinion. Tarantino makes awesome movies and all, but I don' see him being the best. But He is one of the best around, I'll say that for sure.

Wouldn't call him the absolute best, but he is definitely up there on Mount Olympus.

No. Explosion everywhere is only what made Bay's movie classified as 'good'.

I don't think he's being serious there, holmes.

Reservoir Dogs is by far my favorite Tarantino film, I'm surprised it wasn't mentioned in the OP.

Also, I notice a lot of people shitting on Django Unchained. While I think it wasn't anywhere near his greatest movie, and it seemed a bit overrated, it was by no means bad. I actually liked it. It just got too long.

Response to Quentin Tarantino 2014-08-13 08:56:12


Tarantino may have bought an old rundown theater in my hometown, and is probably gonna restore it. I feel pretty good about that.

Response to Quentin Tarantino 2014-08-14 12:08:44


He's pretty good.
One of the better directors out there.

Response to Quentin Tarantino 2014-08-14 13:25:12


Tanatino's gone from a great storyteller with a very blunt directorial style to being the type of director you can delve into every frame for detail, but the stories don't hang together as well as they could. That KKK scene in Django Unchained might be the most unfunny, unnecessarily tone destroying moment I've ever experienced in a movie. The last thing I was thinking that movie needed was a SNL skit dropped into the middle of it.

He's gotten very caught up in "this film is a tribute to [insert genre here]"

Agreed, Many of his movies are tributes and as such they pale in comparison to the true gems of the genres he tries so hard to emulate.

If django comes on I'll spend maybe half an hour watching it, depending where it is in the film. But if any scene of Good, Bad and the Ugly (or any other clint western for that matter) comes on, i aint moving til the credits are shown. Same goes for films like Casino when compared to Pulp fiction, etc.

Now Scorsese...

Well, I did like Reservoir Dogs more than City on Fire.

Django Unchained doesn't compare to the greatest westerns like the Wild Bunch or Once Upon a Time in the West, but it beats Django, from which it got its name. I don't really get the comparison here between Pulp Fiction and Casino.

Yeah he is a really great director, made a plethora of my favorite movies. People give him too much credit though he usually is re-making already existing storylines.

The only things that will please you is replacing the human characters with naked bisexual hybrid animal humans so I don't think you're opinion is worth much...

The only thing he does well is over the top violence and extreme gore. That's it.

You want a good director? Stanley Kubrick.

I'm not saying the man sucks, I lovea good bit of his films, I just find him overrated is all, though thats my opinion Too many people hail him as a visionary and other such things, when I don't think its necessarily true. Again my opinion though.

I was just saying that i prefer casino to pulp fiction, though that could have been because i saw it only recently, and by then I've seen samuel jackson act like a pissed off badass one too many times, and the movie was overhyped before i saw it so expectations were a little high.
