Inglourious Basterds and Jackie Brown simply because they capture just about all of the elements that Quentin enjoys in cinema at once. Pop topics, music, theme, and the cinemagraphic styling that tarintin enjoys are all found within the movie Inglourious Basterds specifically.
On a side note, I declare Kill Bill one of the worst movies I have seen on this earth. Seriously I have always viewed it as one of the worst next to Scott Pilgrim vs The World.

Quentin Tarantino is definitely a rebel in the filming industry and has surely earned his place as a cinema genius. Bringing the alien elements praised from foreign films to the US has definitely been his speciality along with never letting us forget the old splendor of the films decades old.

I enjoy the Kill Bills, but they are probably are, IMO, the weakest of all his stuff. Basterds is probably down there too, mainly because I don't like the hommagey-intense-violence-conclusion. At least the dialogue is back to legitimate Q, but the ending scenes are just a bummer to me, except the ending scene itself, which really redeemed it. I don't ever recall seeing Jackie Brown, strangely enough, but perhaps I should.

If I was president of the United States of America I would make viewing Jackie brown obligatory in order to acquire citizenship.......and if you know me, then you know I am dead serious :yes:.
Jackie Brown was the first and only(so far I know) Quentin Tarantino romance/drama that intrigues both male and female audiences that was created in the US. Very worth while film

Wowser! That's quite a claim. I really not a film buff. I was always music and books, and seeing a good film on the side with just a little teaser. Of course, we never had money where I could just have a camera as a kid.

But, my good friend and roommate, and a few really good friends of mine (especially from my home town.. I'm still kinda new here, so ... no good friends :D) do film stuff either for a living or a ritualistic hobby. I'm kinda surprised really, I don't think I've ever had someone recommend Jackie Brown to me. But, when I get the chance, I will watch it!

I like Four Rooms.

Really, all his movies are pretty good.

Death proof is so seriously underrated it's disgusting.

I didn't like "Four Rooms."

But I agree with you about "Death Proof." It was so totally awesome the husband and I couldn't stop talking about it. All of it. For hours and hours.

I've only really ever seen Death Proof. I liked how some of the conversations between the main characters were all done in long uninterrupted sequences. There were some scenes that made me feel tense (like the woman hanging on the car bonnet for ****z n' giggles).

Other than that though, it was....... meh :shrug:

I don't really think QT appeals to me, I've seen snippets of some of his other movies, but they just don't seem to interest me that much.

Four Rooms is a weird one, and only the last portion is Q (the part where the bell boy has to chop off a finger, if you remember) and Q is actually acting. Besides Q being in it himself, which always tickles me for some reason, I like cause there are four directors trying to tie four separate stories together, which is incredibly difficult. And story is all over the place, a long with the goof. I couldn't call it my favorite though. It's just too had to decide.

But yea, Death Proof is so great! I hate he got so much flack for it, because, I guess there wasn't cartoony violence in it after the Kill Bill's were out.

His dialogue writing is arguably one of the reasons his movies work like they do.

If that's what you liked about Death Proof, I'd definitely watch Pulp Fiction and Reservoir Dogs sometime. They are masterpieces of script writing.

I've heard a bit about both films, I might just give 'em both a go sometime :)

I recommend them both too. I remember wondering where Tarantino had been all my life after I saw "Pulp Fiction" in the theatre back in the day. Then my brother told me if I liked that, I should see "Reservoir Dogs", and I became an instant QT fan.

What I really liked about his directorial and scripting style is that he weaves into the works long and uninterrupted dialogue, and then splashes the viewer with quickly edited soundbites, music, and visuals. He's been described as a "director DJ", and I would absolutely agree with it. I get the same adrenaline rush from a good QT film as I do when I go to a dance club that is really hoppin' with a phenomenal DJ.

I still remember the beginning of "Reservoir Dogs" and the roundtable discussion on what Madonna's song "Like a Virgin" was supposed to be about. :D

Spot on. The scripting style is always wants impressed me, as I kinda happen to be a dialectophile. How the conversations seem so mundanely human, but humorous in that regard, work so fell for leading people into the movie of a fantastical story that isn't yet clear. But you draws us in. I mean, to see such seemingly well-written dialogue that can actually make us suspend our disbelief for a moment because the script isn't tripe and obviously expected, or just poor or cheesy. It brings the viewers in because we are tricked into believing these stories because the dialogue and timing of events is so life-like and well accounted for.
