Kill Bill: Vol. 1

I'm not listing "volume 1" and "volume 2" separately on this list because Miramax wanted Kill Bill split into 2 halves. Tarantino intended for it to be an epic, and so I view it as such, lumping both "volumes" into one film (which is also the way I've watched them since they've been on DVD). I already think that, as a whole, Kill Bill is a masterpiece, and odds are once I finally am able to watch the entire film as it was intended (AKA "The Whole Bloody Affair", which recently screened in California) my belief will be even further reinforced.

Grindhouse (2007)

NOTE: Death Proof by itself I rate a 9/10. Had I listed it as such it would fall between Django Unchained and Four Rooms. The extended cut, however, I'd rate an 8/10 & it'd sit at the bottom of this list. Grindhouse as a whole, however, is perfection.

Voters of this movie list - View all

Quentin Tarantino has been my favorite writer and director ever since the one-two punch of Reservoir Dogs and Pulp Fiction. His stories and dialogue never cease to amaze and entertain me, and I've often found myself quoting from his films. I also love the way that he has spent his entire career paying homage to the films that have influenced him, and the way he puts fresh spins on tired ideas.

Because I love his stories & dialogue, I've therefore included everything he's had a hand in writing in addition to the films he's directed. I feel those films are as much a part of his oeuvre as the rest. On the other hand, I've left out Sin City because he only directed one scene and had no part in the writing.

So, here's how I rank his films more or less.
