@Vincent H. You've got good taste, pal!
The way Jason describes Jackie Brown legitimately gives me chills
Calm down
The rick ross music was 100 percent necessary 😂

I was thinning that too

1:pulp fiction
2:reservoir dogs
3:once upon a time in Hollywood
4:inglorious basterds
5:Django unchained
Didnt fully agree with the Django takes and the uncomfortablenes. Especially when they immediately reveled in the fate of the nazis in Basterds. Just struck me as peculiar. Good lists tho.
Couldn’t agree more. Nazis are fun to see die but slave owners dying is uncomfortable? Yeah ok....
Yooo, I was listening to the podcast of this ...heard the Django take lead into the the Basterds take and immediately came here to protest... but the most surprising part ...is that I was surprised. Pop culture ignoring slavery, African American stories, a telling of America's history more true than most depictions..."it's the worst of all his movies" said the guy who also says "why aren't more people excited bout a star is born"
Fennesy, not surprising. Ryan and Concepcion...im glad I found out now rather than later.
P.S. Tarantino is the epitome of Goals for making Django. A movie that would've never have been made had he not done it.
Do the right thing
Django
Get out
3 essentials to the experience
As soon as i heard the takes about Django, i immediately came to make this comment. This would have been a good time to have the token black guy in the podcast to comment on the movie
Feeling too embarrassed/having too much white guilt to even discuss Django Unchained is peak-Ringer.
It's one of my qualms with their content sometimes - they're such coastal elite woke sjws on certain things that they don't realize how out of touch they truly are with the average person of color that they're purporting to speak for. (fyi guys - that's inherently racist and problematic, in and of itself)
Every person of color I know that saw Django Unchained loves that movie and advocates for it. Django's character is a symbol of empowerment, and the language and content in the movie that makes these guys uncomfortable are valuable depictions of history that can serve as stark reminders and teaching moments.
To just brush aside Django is so ridiculous.
Happy to see this commentary here. I’m just watching as was like “WOAH!” Do they not hear themselves?
Makes me so happy seeing people give jackie brown so much praise. i have always felt it was his best by a pretty big margin and easily his most underrated and misunderstood. One of my top 10 favourite films of all time and it feels so cool to see it finally acknowledged.
I’ve seen it the least of his movies (aka once) and liked it, but I distinctly remember that it didn’t feel as sharp as a typical Tarantino movie. Maybe that’s the influence of the book, or maybe he deliberately toned down his style, but I know I need to watch it again.
@@bencarlson4300 Elmore Leonard is definitely an influence on Tarantino's writing style as far as story goes... If QT dialed up Jackie Brown to his style level - then he should've just made a film with his own story. After Pulp - I think he did the right thing. If he would've gone with another hyper violent, hyper stylized story of his own - would the mainstream have turned on him like they love to do and say - oh QT is a one trick pony.
So a you're right without knowing you're right, he did deliberately tone down the QT with a more mellow, slower, less stylized story yet still with QT's eye behind the camera, a great choice for his 3rd film.
@@soundshape6496 I've seen it again and it's a very good movie. Not my favorite, but it showed his versatility, especially as a director.
I loveee Jackie brown. Def top 3 best movie of Quentin. The acting. The atmosphere. The actors. The music. The story. The plot. I won’t lie though. I was hurt when I found out it was from a book already written lol
1) Django Unchained
2) Inglourious Basterds
3) Pulp Fiction
4) Once Upon a Time in Hollywood
5) The Hateful Eight
I really enjoy these discussions and lists and am a fan of the show, but the comments on Django are interesting to me. I understand people can have differing opinions and different ideas, but the idea that ending to Django is cheap or comes short is interesting. I always felt that Django was a superhero film, a coming of age/ revenge film for a folk super hero in the slave era. I think the uncomfortableness is necessary and it isn't as unwatchable in terms as grime as was described in this podcast. I think roughly 4 or 5 is a solid ranking for it to be last for Sean was interesting lol.
Joe I find the ending entertaining but just kind of lazy.
I love the ending
@@charleswoodsongoat1258 I kind of agree, but I also think there’s no other satisfying way to end that story.
The end just seems to drag on. He has this 15 minute shootout. Then he's captured, then he escapes, then another shootout
1.) Pulp Fiction
2.) Django
3.) Reservoir Dogs
4.) KB V1
5.) Inglorious
1. Pulp Fiction
2. Kill Bill
3. Hollywood
4. Django
5. Inglourious
Love these 5. At the same time, can hard pass on Hateful 8, Reservoir Dogs, and Death Proof. Jackie Brown is right in the middle.
Hollywood is a bad movie
@@Lonewolf_665you wildn. Hollywood was amazing
I would love to see Quentin do a Star Trek movie
1. Once Upon a Time in Hollywood
2. Pulp Fiction
3. Kill Bill
4. Inglorious Bastards
5. Django
6. Hateful 8
1 Inglourious Basterds
2 Pulp Fiction
3 Hateful 8
4 Once Upon A Time ...
5 Reservoir Dogs
Reservoir Dogs was made in a cafe and a warehouse. It was almost like a superbly written college project
Masterpiece.
It was very close to a stage play.
@@DrOz-007 exactly. It's all dialog and essentially in one room
IMO, still his very best movie.
Denis Menochet in the opening scene of Inglorious Basterds is a gift. I never knew him before.
I'm a fan of all his movies, especially the dialogue. But Pulp Fiction is still #1 and the Bonnie Situation is my favorite part
"What if we had an alternate history where Tarantino was writing on everything coming out of Hollywood?"
Very enjoyable. Thanks guys.

Top 5:
1- Django Unchained
2- Inglourious Bastards
3- Pulp Fiction
4- Reservoir Dogs
5- Hateful Eight
Honorable mention: Once Upon a Time In Hollywood and Jackie Brown.
Hateful8?kill bill is much better.
gopi nath Hell no! Hateful 8 is so underrated. When I first saw it, I also thought it wasn’t all that great but when I recently viewed it again. What Quentin did with that film was criminally under appreciated.
@@colepitt2184 Yeah have to watch it again.
1. Pulp Fiction
2. Jackie Brown
3. Once Upon A Time In Hollywood
4. Resevoir Dogs
5. Inglorious Basterds
I'd love to see Quentin adapt Louis L'Amour. We've seen how well he does Adaptations with Jackie Brown and how much he respect those pulp Westerns in his last 3 films. Why not?
How can you possibly say that a Reservoir Dogs doesn't get made in 2019 as a good thing? A guy with no connections or advantages in life rises up to get noticed in the most competitive industry in the world writes and directs a movie that changes the landscape of cinema. Ya totally something 2019 couldn't handle.
There are a lot of movies from the 80s amd 90s that wouldn't have been made if the script had been passed around hollywood in the last decade. Simmons makes this take about his favorite action movie, 48 Hours.
@@deekay2494 48 hrs would never get made because of all the racial language Nolte's character. Not sure what the problem with reservoir dogs is.
Any movie where Prime DeNiro is like 4th or 5th on the call sheet is a fucking masterpiece.
Fun Tarentino jam fellas! Yup yup, love that Jackie Brown got top #1 & #2 love on two of the lists. My faves...
Jackie Brown
Kill Bill Saga
Inglourious Basterds
Pulp Fiction
Reservoir Dogs
We'll see where Once Upon A Time in HWood ends up after some time has passed. I dug it.
*Nice pull with the QT Top Gun monologue from Sleep With Me! It did eventually bring about Gay Top Gun fanedits...and yeah From Dusk Till Dawn is great.
1.Bastards
2. Pulp
3. Django
4. Kill Bill Vol. 1
5. Revisor Dogs
I do not understand the awkwardness surrounding Django. I’m a history teacher, and I find Django to be one of the best portrayals of slavery in moves; other films do a better job though. It shows the harshness of it and that, in no way, is it romantic. I believe it should make the viewer feel uncomfortable and dirty, but I don’t think it should be pushed under the rug.
inglorious basterds is shit compared to pulp fiction and jackie brown.
Bridget Fonda - in the parking lot with Deniro is something else …. Because you sympathize with the character Lewis
Trivia... the O.D scene with Lance and Vincent bringing Mia back to life with the syringe is actually taken from a real life story told in the documentary 'American Boy' (1978) Directed by.... Martin Scorsese.. it is a conversation with Scorsese's friend Steven Prince who was cast as a gun dealer in Taxi Driver. During the early 90's QT stated Taxi Driver among his top 3 all time favorite films, and he is obviously inspired by Martin Scorsese and Brian DePalma (especially Blow Out starring John Travolta, and Scarface.) He must have got his hands on a copy of the documentary 'American Boy' during his days working at the video store. It is available to watch on youtube if you search for it.
Hell yes more video pods
Anyone know the song played at the end?
1)Basterds
2)Pulp Fiction

5. The Hateful Eight
4. Pulp Fiction
3. Resevoir Dogs
2. Once Upon a Time... in Hollywood
1. Inglourious Basterds
Shoutout to Tarantino's "Alias" episodes
He didn’t cheat tho . He shot kill bill all at one time as ONE movie but the studio wanted to release it as 2 movies because of how long it was . So no he didn’t cheat . He wrote it and filmed it as one movie so it’s one movie to him
Tarantino's dialog is incredible
Django being Sean's least favorite movie says a lot about him
Says he knows it's a lame movie.
1. Inglorious Basterds
2. Pulp Fiction
3. Reservoir Dogs
4. Kill Bill Vol. 1
5. Death Proof (yah that’s right fight me)
IMO
1. Kill Bill Vol 1 & 2

3. Reservoir Dogs
4. Inglorious Bastards
5. Pulp Fiction
1. Inglourious Basterds
2. Pulp Fiction
3. Kill Bill (Vol.1/Vol.2)
4. Jackie Brown
5. The Hateful Eight
52:47 Point Blank is one of my favorite films, but I never made the connection to Pulp Fiction
I liked this. Django is one of my favorites is a fun bang em up revenge story that is just fun. Django is a hero and it's an uplifting story
My top 5
1. Once upon a time in Hollywood
2. Pulp fiction
3. Django
4. KB1
5. Inglorious
When Leo in Django swipes his blood on Kerry Washington face that was not scripted that was real blood . Whew can you imagine
1. Reservoir Dogs , 2. Pulp Fiction , 3. Kill Bill vol 1 , 4. Kill Bill vol 2 , 5. Inglorious Basterds (then Death Proof for the wild card lol)
Jason Concepcion and I are in lockstep on this.
If we're listing everything he's involved in (script only / script & directing)
Pulp Fiction - what is there to say that hasn't been said? a different scene becomes my fav scene, a different line becomes my fav line, shot, framing... becomes my fav after each viewing. Shit - just realized you can see Vincent Vega twice (out of focus but still) twice in opening scene in diner.
Once Upon a Time in Hollywood - his love for hollywood, california; cinema; tv series; actors & actresses, directors... everything in this film is treated with so much love for all of things he truly cares about... his love letter to the last of a dying period of time - hollywood: when film and commerce were at it's tail end of marital bliss, on the very beginning of the other side even... the other side being commerce THEN film... his style brought to that period of hollywood is incredible. his dialogue brought to that period of hollywood is incredible. Brad Pitt - a return to QT universe (True Romance & Basterds) and Leo - a second go, this time as lead... in a buddy film? So cool.
The wardrobes? The makeover given to hollywood blvd? Al Pacino? The love shown to Sergio Corbucci? The one use of CGI (adding Leo to The Great Escape? (so fucking awesome lololol.) Margot Robbie? She's one of the sexiest women on the planet as evidence by Wolf of Wall Street and then while still sexy in OUATIH, she's more beautiful than sexy... the way he lit her in scenes, the way he framed her... while she's not in a lot of the movie - when she's on screen she radiates (which she does by herself) and QT just tries to showcase that for the viewer while also putting Sharon Tate on the radar for a younger generation.
Kill Bill: The Whole Bloody Affair (Kill Bill 1, like Sean who I believe is my age... he may be a year older than me actually... said something I completely agree with: Kill Bill 1 is one of my favorite movie going experiences of all time. Saw it opening night with my best friend who was also a QT head like me. As friends, our favorite activity to do together was go see movies. I have Kill Bill in top 3 because when I watch it... I watch both of them together as one long epic 4 hour film. I think it ultimately works better despite its length as one film because the MAX levels of the Kill Bill sliders turned down from MAX QT to Spaghetti Western QT half way through the movie is pho-cking brilliant to me.)
Inglorious Basterds - the opening scene might be my favorite scene with QT dialogue. Hans Landa might be my fav QT character of all time. Could watch an entire film of Landa as a hunter tracking down people for the SS. Brad Pitt is so charismatic on film... he is so goddamn believable as a LEADER of a crew. He's believable as leader of a Nazi hunting outfit of soldiers... he's believable as leader of a crew of just cool people (Ocean's films... jam packed with cool actors playing cool... he's just the absolute epitome of COOL - even cooler than Clooney imo.) Mike Myers cameo? QT first toe dip into historical re-writing. After flipping Vic Vega to Vincent Vega since Madsen passed on it... Vincent Vega is an example of expanding the QT universe. Django (because of time period) is where the universe gets expanded the most as far as TIME... (Captain Coons in PF is a descendant of Crazy Craig Coons, a bounty in Django). Relationship expansion also occurs in Hateful 8 and Basterds.
True Romance
Jackie Brown
Reservoir Dogs
Django
Hateful 8
Death Proof
Dusk Til Dawn
Natural Born Killers
Are we counting Kill Bill Vol 1 & 2 count as one?
I personally do because Tarantino does he wanted it to be 1 movie
2:12 "Do you mean cadence?" lol
Quentin has always been saying something meta textual. Some of the ideas are more oblique than others, but there’s always something there.
1. Inglorious
2. Pulp
3. OUATIH
4. Kill Bill vol.2
5. Django
Although it was not his movie and he had a modest acting part, "Four Rooms" was pretty cool.
the little corner store next door had a shelf of movie rentals. just a handful of whatever. for some reason True Romance was always there. I didn't like Christian Slater so I never bothered with it. one night I got it and loved it. especially the dialogue. written by Quentin Tarantino. a bit later a bunch of us went to a movie but didn't know what to watch. came across the poster for Pulp Fiction written and directed by Quentin Tarantino. that's the dude who wrote True Romance, let's see this. knew nothing about it. best movie going experience of my life. hooked since
1. Django
2. Kill Bill (1&2)
3. Inglorious Basterds
4. Once Upon a Time in Hollywood
5. Pulp Fiction
Honorable mention to Reservoir Dogs.
Real shit, Tarantino's performance in From Dusk Til Dawn was astonishing. I mean, Quentin hung in there with Harvey Keitel. No joke. It was a fucking GREAT movie... until the zombies showed up... but the first half was top-notch terrifying!
Spike Lee directing Jackie Brown would have been interesting
1. Pulp Fiction
2. Django Unchained
3. Kill Bill (The Whole Bloody Affair)
4. Reservoir Dogs
5. Inglorious Basterds
6. Jackie Brown
7. Once Upon a Time in Hollywood (viewed Once, going 70mm tomorrow!)
8. Death Proof
9. The Hateful Eight
10. The Man From Hollywood
1 Reservoir Dogs
2 Pulp Fiction
3 Once Upon a Time in Hollywood
4 Jackie Brown
5 Kill Bill (The Whole Bloody Affair)
I appreciate finally someone acknowledging the brilliance of Jackie Brown!!! Sean and Jason had me crying w/the whole parking lot scene and then the Sam Jackson explanation, funny! And Jason's analysis of the film is spot on! I knew the film's premise but, his articulation even made me think about it on an even deeper level. I agree people may put this film at or near the bottom because it lacks the razzle dazzle of some of his other films. And, I'm w/Chris on Django, my favorite Tarantino movie. The subject matter is tough for some but that's why I like it. It's honest about the horrors of slavery but, it's clever enough to do it w/humor. My top three Tarantino films are Django, Pulp Fiction and Jackie Brown and I appreciate your insightful opinions. P.S. I have to watch you guys talk about Jackie Brown again, that was some of the funniest sh*t ever!

5. Once Upon A Time In Hollywood

2. Inglorious Basterds

Jimmy using that word had purpose. His comfort in saying it immediately establishes who he is and the kind of relationship he has with Jules.

How about a Quentin Tarantino remake of "Blazing Saddles??!!"
DJANGO ending is BRILLIANT. Full stop

5. Death Proof

I've watched other people discussing Tarantino, and even discussing Basterdz specifically. Just like in this discussion, and many others, wanna know what no one brings up or celebrates? Shosanna Dreyfus. A little over half of that movie is all about her, and people barely remember her or her story. Even "expert commentators" don't bring her up. Literally half of the movie focuses on her! At any rate, that's why Basterdz isn't in my Top 5.
It's so hard to pick favorites because I've loved all of the ones I've seen. I would say my top 5 in no order are Django Unchained, The Hateful Eight, Kill Bill 1&2, Once Upon a Time in Hollywood, Pulp Fiction.
I don't understand the uncomfort at the ending of Django....but then the elation on the same scene in Inglorious Bastards.....
They are bothered by the racial aspects of that film

Imagine if after the 10 movies, Quentin went on to work with Rockstar designing video games a la Red Dead, GTA ........
no. RockstarGames are doing fine on their own. They don't need Tarantino. His ego will get in the way.

It's like you went with his 5 worst, except 1 & 5 instead of Hateful Eight or Deathproof.
whats wrong with the rick ross feature in django?
For me....1. Reservoir Dog
2. Pulp Fiction
3. Kill Bill V 1,
4. Jackie Brown
5. Death Proof/Inglorious Bastards
I don't disagree with their lists but I am shocked by how little love Grindhouse and Hateful 8 got.
I liked hateful 8 but I think it’s much harder to enjoy and doesn’t have as much to say as most of his other films
Grindhouse is trashy fun. It doesn't deserve that much love.
It's because those 2 are his weakest film.
Hateful 8 and Death Proof are his 2 Worst Films
Why are you shocked? They weren't as successful/popular/critically acclaimed as the rest. I really enjoy Hateful eight but most of his other movies are masterpieces.
