Tarantino's best film?
Since the list of possibilities is so short I wont offer my opinion just yet.

Reservoir Dogs, but only for the opening scene. The rest.....Meh.

Although Pulp Fiction was pretty good too.

I agree. I enjoyed Death Proof, but I doubt I'll ever watch it again.Montresor wrote:I'll avoid my urge to unleash an anti-Tarantino rant and just say Pulp Fiction. Though I can't see myself ever watching it again, or any of 'his' other films, for that matter.

I used to really like him, and still see some worth in him when his dialogue doesn't seem to come straight from him. I think he does some good work, but I mainly find the words like fingernails on the chalkboard anymore.

Resovior Dogs. Everything else, I'm just waiting for new shtick.
Oh.
And he did a segment of Sin City, which rocked.

I think some people tend to be a little hard on Tarantino for reasons of their own, but over all I would have to put him among my favorite film makers. Because he's not just a director, he's also willing to write screenplays , and allow other's to direct. This has worked out several times for him ( From Dusk Til Dawn, Natural Born Killers), but the first Tarantino film I ever saw is still my favorite, True Romance. First you look at the cast, Christian Slater, Patricia Arquette, Gary Oldman, Tom Sizemore, Christopher Walken, Dennis Hopper, Bronson Pinchot, James Gandolfini, Christopher Penn, Brad Pitt, Samuel L. Jackson, and that guy that played Dick Ritchie. I still love this film, and consider it to be his best work, especialy the scene between Walken, and Hopper.

Meh. The scene between Hopper and Walken is brilliant, but I can't stand the rest of the film.

Sick to death of Pulp Fiction, though it's probably the best.
Kill Bill, Vol. 2 is my favorite--especially the Bride's training flashback. Vol. 1 had some great action and humor but not a lot of character-building/depth. Glad he made it two movies instead of one.
