Comment on How Would You Rank Quentin Tarantino's Films?

Oh boy, that’s a question for me. I’m a huge Tarantino fan and I’ve never considered ranking his movies, so this took me a while. I can understand some may think his movies overrated, but since I’ve grown up with them, they very much defined my love for movies, so I truly believe all of them are good, if not great.

  1. Pulp Fiction - It’s hard to overstate how influential this film is. It is revolutionary, perfectly directed, and just so damn fun. Masterpiece in every sense of the word.

  2. The Hateful Eight - An amazing (almost) limited setting film with top-notch performances. This movie is very much about the atmosphere, subverting the classic western genre, with a great cast to round it off.

  3. Jackie Brown - This is black Pulp Fiction, taking everything great from its predecessor and composing probably the best story of all Tarantino films.

  4. Reservoir Dogs - I’m clearly biased, but the non-linear storytelling and the compact story, and just the overall coolness of the characters make this my favorite movie of all time.

  5. Inglourious Basterds - As fresh as they come, this film compelled me to look at historical movies in a completely different light. It’s also the most thrilling one.

  6. Django Unchained - Fun premise, great story, and just amazing performances from every single actor in the movie.

  7. Once Upon a Time in Hollywood - Made mostly for an American audience, it’s thrilling and fun, but relies a lot on it’s (excellent) cast.

  8. Kill Bill - Tarantino considers both volumes as a single film, so I do too. Vol. 2 probably lowers the rank a lot here, but only because Vol. 1 is so exceptionally intense that it was hard to live up to.

  9. Death Proof - The weakest of his movies and maybe the most brutal, Death Proof leans more on the double feature gimmicks, but is still very entertaining and (dare I say) innovative.

I’m waiting for his final film, but I’m in no rush, as I would watch any of these movies again any day.
