Quentin Tarantino

Although this is a horror site and most of Quentin Tarantino's work is not horror, i'm interested to know what you guys think is his best work...
For me, it is hard to pick the best in his work becuase they're all so fucking cool! If i had to choose i'd say Pulp Fiction - because of the way it is wrote ( similar to his style in Resivior Dogs )and just what a cool movie it is - and From Dusk Till Dawn - 'Come on pussy lovers'.

Ive only seen Kill Bill [Both Parts] and it was AMAZING I loved it.

I saw part of Pulp Fiction, but just couldnt get it to it. I might have to rent it again tho....

Res Dogs was my favorite with JAckie Brown as a close second .... until I saw Kill Bill (1 & 2)

They blew everything else out of the water.

I never cared for Pulp Fiction .. it was just a flashier Res Dogs to me...

i read he's taking Kill Bill 1 and 2 and re-editing them into a new single movie.. with extra footage and stuff ... to make it a completely different film ..

I hope thats wrong ...

hmmm that'll be a bloody long film then 4 or 5 hours with extra footage, unless he edits out loads of the original stuff, which would be pointless as it would mess up the film.

I get labeled an evil person for this all the time, but i think ol Qt is overrated. Granted, Pulp Fiction was a eork of genius, and i really Like True Romance, but most of his stuff is just over the top to me, to the point that i dont find it enjoyable.

I knwo a lot of people place a great deal of value on the dialogue in his movies, and i think that is why i am at odds with everyone else so much. i think dialogue should do it's best to push the plot foward, with no frame or word wasted. Qt does what a lot of indie film makers do:

Tons of dialogue that is completely extraneous to the plot. Did the "Like a virgin" conversation have any bearing on the rest of the movie in resevoir dogs? if it did, i missed that part.

i do appreciate that his love of pulp culture and use of it in his movies has ironically placed him in the same position of the people he admires, but that just means im giving credit where it is due. im sntill not much of a fan.
