Hateful Eight Jackie Brown Once Upon a Time in Hollywood Inglourious Basterds Pulp Fiction Reservoir Dogs Kill Bill Django Unchained Death Proof
Pulp Fiction - Holy fuck does this hold up Inglorious Basterds - Holy fuck does this hold up Once Upon a Time in Hollywood - Possibly his sweetest film, and the story and characters just really resonated with me. Django Unchained - Still in need of some edits maybe, but otherwise a flawless western revenge epic Jackie Brown - Some exquisite dialogue and iconic moments in his canon Death Proof - That so many film buffs thought a movie with this car chase sequence and climax isn’t fun is insane to me Kill Bill - Only issue is all the impressive action choreography seems allocated to the first one and the dialogue sings more memorably in Vol 2. True Romance - Probably the most 90’s of all his scripts, but still Tarantino af Hateful Eight - An endurance test, but the satirical edges were undeniably sharp. Theory: it might be allegorically taking aim at the uncivil frontier that is a lot of internet comment sections (Tarantino hates smart phones and probably most of the internet, but he's mentioned he reads them). Also it's possible one of the big tests for the audience is looking beyond the movie poster and realizing Jodie, not Warren, is one of the hateful eight given how much worse he is and that Marquis was inspired by Bass Reeves (who only killed in self defense). Is there any evidence of him actually being hateful and not reacting to the hostility around him accordingly? In the film we pretty much just get subjective hearsay about him from bigots in that time and place plus the anecdote he used to bait/troll the confed general into attacking first, like the Lincoln letter, was never confirmed beyond doubt to be false or true. This is based on the theatrical cut anyways, haven't watched the netflix version yet. From Dusk Till Dawn - Maybe I'm cheating adding this and True Romance, but they're Tarantino scripts/stories after all. FDTD is not one of his best, but still lots of fun. Also Tarantino himself somehow actually has acting chops in it. Reservoir Dogs - Some classic dialogue and performances, but given it's his first movie it can feel a bit rough sometimes
I thought he had written the screenplay to Natural Born Killers but his original script was bought and heavily revised by Oliver Stone et. al. He only received Story By credit
