He is the hardest director to rank because they're all SO good. And my ranking changes every few months (I always said Kill Bill was my favorite but you brought up a good point about Volume 2 not being as strong as Volume 1).....I should add I've seen every one from Kill Bill on, in theaters on the big screen where all his films are meant to be seen. This is my personal ranking, but if I were a film critic, my ranking would be very different and Death Proof would be at the bottom and Basterds would be at the top. Dogs would be higher too. 1. Jackie Brown 2. Kill Bill (both) 3. Inglourious Basterds 4. Pulp Fiction 5. Death Proof (I know it's meant to be bad, but I love it) 6. Django Unchained 7. Once Upon a Time In Hollywood 8. The Hateful Eight 9. Reservoir Dogs (I know don't kill me!)
10: Death Proof 9: Reservoir Dogs 8: Kill Bill vol. 2 7: The Hateful Eight 6: Kill Bill vol. 1 5: Inglorious Bastards 4: Django Unchained 3: Jackie Brown 2: Pulp Fiction 1: Once Upon a Time… in Hollywood
I think ranking Tarantino can be so divisive because he has NO BAD MOVIES! Even death proof gets flack for being his "worst" yet it holds up compared to the vast majority of films, especially today.
My Tarantino ranking: 1. Pulp Fiction, Once Upon a Time in Hollywood, Inglourious Basterds, Django Unchained, Kill Bill 1 & 2, The Hateful Eight, Jackie Brown, Reservoir Dogs 2. Death Proof 😉
1. Pulp Fiction 2. Reservoir Dogs 3. Inglorious Basterds 4. Django Unchained 5. Once Upon A Time In Hollywood 6. Kill Bill 7. Jackie Brown 8. The Hateful Eight 9. Death Proof
Basterds, Django and Pulp Fiction are his best films in my opinion (in no particular order). Then it gets more tricky. Dogs and Hateful 8 are kind of similar, though Dogs is more tight and respects the audience's time and attention more - but in Quentin's defence the original H8 script got leaked and he had to rewrite. I like to defend Jackie Brown but it's not one to rewatch in a hurry. Same goes with Death Proof. They're all good, really. What's an interesting question to me is what Tarantino movie do you actually want to watch right now? I'm leaning towards the Hateful Eight. Maybe Django.
Reservoir Dogs, Pulp Fiction, and Django are goated. Jackie Brown and Kill Bill rank #4 and #5. Inglorious Basterds and Kill Bill vol 2 bring in the rear. OUATI Hollywood, Hateful 8, and Deathproof finish it out.
For me personally… 1. Inglorious Basterds 2. Jackie Brown 3. Pulp fiction 4. Kill Bill 5. Hateful Eight 6. Django 7. Kill Bill 2 8. Reservoir Dogs 9. Once upon a time in Hollywood 10. Death proof
Man what compelling arguments you made for why volume 2 isn’t good. I could do the same thing for literally any movie. Do you not realize that volume 2 is slow paced to deliver character development and background on the characters? You don’t give any actual points against it. Besides not enough action Too slow
Nitpick: Never made a bad movie? I thought Death Proof was a 1/10 terrible movie. My own ranking for what it's worth.... note there is a MSSIVE gulf between no.9 and no.8, the bottom two are rock bottom 10. Death Proof 9. Once Upon a Time in Hollywood 8. Kill Bill v2 7. Django Unchained 6. Kill Bill v1 5. Inglorious Basterds 4. The Hateful Eight 3. Pulp Fiction 2. Reservoir Dogs 1. Jackie Brown

No1 Pulp Fiction
Once upon at Time
Hateful 8
Kill Bill 2
Kill Bill 1
Reservoir Dogs
Jackie Brown
Django
Inglorious
Death Proof
Great list!!! Its so fun to see every list can be so different, just shows that he hasnt made a "bad" movie
Absolutely! All his films are defensible as one of his best so there's no wrong way to rank them, just depends on personal preference
Reservoir Dogs, Pulp Fiction, and Django are goated. Jackie Brown and Kill Bill rank #4 and #5. Inglorious Basterds and Kill Bill vol 2 bring in the rear. OUATI Hollywood, Hateful 8, and Deathproof finish it out.
Hateful Eight 🌟 is his BESt for me. No question.
Pulp Fiction is overrated.
You're certainly entitled to your opinion! I think Pulp lives up to the hype but Hateful Eight is massively underrated
Agree with Hateful Eight, it's his best effort. But Pulp Fiction is a masterpiece too!
For me personally…
1. Inglorious Basterds
2. Jackie Brown
3. Pulp fiction
4. Kill Bill
5. Hateful Eight
6. Django
7. Kill Bill 2
8. Reservoir Dogs
9. Once upon a time in Hollywood
10. Death proof
Jackie Brown in my opinion is criminally underrated. I also agree with you that Kill Bill 2 has a far slower pace and it’s a shame
Man what compelling arguments you made for why volume 2 isn’t good.
I could do the same thing for literally any movie.
Do you not realize that volume 2 is slow paced to deliver character development and background on the characters?
You don’t give any actual points against it.
Besides not enough action
Too slow
Coo coo pachoo
This guy got the gump

This might be the most overhated movie I’ve ever seen
