<p>Yep, that's it, unless you count his segment of Four Rooms.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Empire Podcast recently did a rate Tarantino's films segment so I've been thinking about this. They separated Kill Bill.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Mine would go: Inglorious Basterds, Pulp Fiction, Reservoir Dogs, Kill Bill 1, Jackie Brown, Django Unchained, Kill Bill 2.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Weirdly enough I haven't seen Death Proof, but that's because I want to watch it as part of Grindhouse and the copy I've had has been crappy (actually crappy, not how it was filmed to look retro). I haven't watched Hateful Eight a second time so still too early to rate it. If Kill Bill was combined it would come last.</p> -

I've seen Death Proof only once so perhaps need another viewing to confirm where it stands. I just really didn't dig Kill Bill for whatever reason, 2nd was definitely better ( mainly cos of Michael Madsen ). I enjoyed Jackie Brown heaps more than most folk I know, SLJ and Robert De Niro were fantastic as always but the lesser lights in that were awesome as well. -
<p>There are aspects of Kill Bill 1 that are overly cartoonish but there are also classic scenes. The prelude to the Pussy Wagon in the hospital. The soccer mom fight scene in the kitchen. The anime introduction(100% cartoonish but not what I meant) to Lucy Liu's character (O-Ren-Ishi) and the Sonny Chiba master samurai turned sushi chef thing were awesome.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Wasn't a fan of the ridiculous fight scene with O-Ren-Ishi's gang.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>1. Pulp Fiction </p>

<p>I'm the complete opposite, rarely have I been so disappointed to see a sequel come and out not live up to the original - it was like I was watching the Phantom Menace all over again.</p> -
<p>Dusk til Dawn, True Romance, Natural Born Killer...</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Love Resovoir Dogs though, love the scene with Steeler Wheel :)</p> -

I think my top four would be about the same as that Raz but it's concerning to see the latest flick rated so low. <br><br>
You're right about Kill Bill, some scenes are iconic but the scene in the club where she sliced up everyone was just fucken ridiculous when you consider in the next movie a drunken has been took her out with next to no effort.

<p>True Romance would be number 1 for me if it was eligible for the list.</p> -
<p>oh, didn't realize rules were common place in TSF discussions! :)</p>

The amount of big stars having even the smallest of parts was ridiculous. RIP Dennis Hopper, James Gandolfini, Chris Penn.... -
Interesting bit of trivia: QT wrote Natural Born Killers. Not a bad movie either.<br><br>
Death Proof is just shit. Can't believe the same guy made the masterpieces listed above. -

<p>Again there were enjoyable bits of dialogue. Just didnt really do it for me. QTs over use blood splatter detracts from the seriousness of the tone and tension in the story.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Too much hanging out with his hack mate Robert Rodriguez.</p> -
Just sat through Death Proof. Kurt Russell is great and there is some sensational eye candy but I struggle to think of a more pointless trashy load of shit to ever grace a screen. Just terrible. I know it's some kind of 'homage' but fuck the 70s must have had some diabolical crap if that's anything to go by.

Watched it with my boys a few months back told them they had to get in touch with there feminine side and we had to watch a chick flick.

<p>finally watched The Imitation Game last night. Great movie. It's funny, you know the bloody machine works, and yet you still feel tension during the movie when it doesn't. </p>
