Pulp Fiction is the epitome of a cult movie for the volume of quotes it generated alone.
Film The Movie Critic - Tarantino's 'final' movie

Goodfellas is number one of all time
This thread is making be want to watch Pulp, Dogs and Django again.
I rewatched Hateful 8 not long ago, and although I remembered loving it I found it mostly verging on boring to be honest. Maybe I just wasn’t in the right mood. It was visually fantastic though.

Id put the Godfather as number one of all time. Or maybe Vertigo by Hitchcock or Psycho.
I don't agree with the biggest Tarantino fanboys when they claim that everything he directs turns into gold. Tarantino may have the oeuvre mindset, but he clearly has a good amount of mediocre films in his catalogue.
Having said that, I still think that Tarantino probably is the greatest mainstream/big name Hollywood director from the last 32 years (starting the clock with Reservoir Dogs in 1992).

Godfather is also number one of all time
There's a lot I agree with here and a lot of my own initial feelings about QT as a director.
He's the definition of style over substance. He's the Chuck Palahniuk of filmmaking. Both had an absolute stellar start to their respective careers (Fight Club, Survivor // Reservoir Dogs, Pulp Fiction) but haven't been able to get to that level of quality since.
I'd agree with that. Reservoir Dogs, Pulp Fiction and Jackie Brown are excellent. After that, the style of substance drop-off is huge. Every film since Jackie Brown feels frequently silly and annoyingly over the top. Moments feel so engineered to be iconic and it all feels a bit cheap and self indulgent.
And then Alec Baldwin became Vince in real life
Really looking forward to his last movie. Loved everything he's done, with the obvious exception of Death Proof, the one Tarantino movie everyone pretends doesn't exist.
I haven't seen Deaf Proof.
Once Upon a Time in Hollywood was great. Was back to his best in the Pulp Fiction, Jackie Brown hangout movie vein.
’No Rappers’ for Jules
And I’m somewhat surprised Tarantino put Sofia Coppola on that list after Godfather 3.
Yea I enjoyed that. But even that was style over substance with the ending.
Danny De Vito as The Wolf would have been so sick.
He needs to cast Nic Cage in his next movie.
Death Proof wasn't exactly peak cinema but decent fun.
Probably wanted to see her feet or something’No Rappers’ for Jules
And I’m somewhat surprised Tarantino put Sofia Coppola on that list after Godfather 3.
I didn't think it was obnoxiously stylised, and definitely not to the point that it detracted from the experience (Tarantino obviously has a distinct style but that's sort of the fun). It felt like pure QT love for film and cinema and he nailed the feck out of it, in my opinion. Hoping The Critic is more of the same Tarantino hangout movie goodness.
Don’t wanna get hyper pretentious and meta here but sometimes style is substance. There was logic behind the ending - the fact that it was so delightfully outlandish and ‘stylish’ shouldn’t detract from the satisfying, clever and so very unexpected ending. I see your point though
It barely counts as a movie.

Yea, like I said I enjoyed the movie. It was definitely one of his better ones. Films, like art is subjective, and it's my own feeling towards his movies.
Jackie Brown below the Kill Bill's (and to a lesser extent Inglorious Basterds) is wild.
Django Unchained in F tier is the worst for me. I'd put it in B tier (above Kill Bill and on par with Inglorious).
I felt it was a massive letdown from Pulp Fiction. Really didn't work for me.
Hated this film. Jamie Fox was woeful, and DiCaprio was no better.

i enjoyed Django, it's a fun plot that keeps you engaged, but did kinda feel like it missed the mark. Felt like someone else trying to Tarrantino.
I'd have it in tier 3 but can't be arsed writing out the whole thing. Pulp Fiction number 1 though.

What the hell?! Jaime Fox plays his part perfectly and Leo is delightfully evil and has hilarious facial expressions!
Django is probably my favourite "dark popcorn" movie (I just invented a new genre). I don't understand your hate, because you seem to like Kill Bill! I would consider that to be fairly similar in tone and humor.
This. Felt his schtick got old very quickly.
I have Jamie Fox derangement syndrome, I just don't like him. Kill Bill had a lot of different styles and homages to different filmmakers and techniques, so I thought it was really creative, even though the story was dumb.
Am I the only person that didn't hate The Hateful Right?

And I’m somewhat surprised Tarantino put Sofia Coppola on that list after Godfather 3.
Finally watched Godfather 3 and was surprised that I thought she was just a little bit bad and not awful and the problem is more her plot line/the writing and also Andy Garcia.
Interesting to note the worst casting in Pulp Fiction (we all agree it's Maria De Medeiros, right?) is Tarantino's shortest list. I bet he regrets not watching more European late 80s and early 90s films.

I thought it was great, i’d love to see that extended one but it’s on US Netflix.

I loved it when I first saw it, but rewatched not long ago and found it very meh.
I hope so. It was one of the most boring movies I have ever seen. Pointless from start to finish. I was close to leave before the highly disappointing ending.Am I the only person that didn't hate The Hateful Right?
It felt like a pale imitation of a Coen Brothers flick.Am I the only person that didn't hate The Hateful Right?
Also, it was standard QT ending - a woman getting absolutely battered and beaten with some sharp dialogue amidst the hyperviolence.
