Reservoir Dogs. They should make it into a stage play. It would go down a storm.

Same here.

I'm not really a fan.

I am, however, a huge Tim Roth fan.

there's a lot i don't like about tarantino, but i'd be wrong to say i just completely dislike him. i liked his scripts for 'true romance' and 'natural born killers', and every now and then he'll discover some cool old b-movie and release it on video as a "quentin tarantino presents" thingie...so i can appreciate him on some levels, i guess. as long as he's not trying to act. disbelief

Pulp Fiction. I know it's over played and cliched, but every moment is thouroughly enjoyable. Favorite part was the overdose scene at Eric Stoltz House. Rosanna Arquette love

That looks like madness! For some reason I can handle his violence, but stuff like Hostel...:Hell No.

Pulp Fiction is far and away my favorite. It was violent, but not uberviolent; clever, but not self-important. And Tarantino's dialogue, while catchy, sometimes comes off as over-orchestrated to me. Somehow it didn't in Pulp Fiction. Plus, how can you not like looking at Uma?

And while many hated it, I'd say Jackie Brown is a close second. It was understated, which right away makes me appreciate that Tarantino is not a one-trick pony. Then, the plot was just complex enough to command your attention, but not altogether lose you. And there was no cinematic frill -- no gorgeous sets; no protracted gun battles or fight scene at the end; no characters evolving beyond who they'd always been; no happy ending to the love story. Just a solid, earthy story. And, again, how could you not like looking at Pam Grier? lol

I've got a love/hate thing with Kill Bill (1 and 2). It wanted to be a good movie a bit too much for me to think it so. Like a date trying too hard to impress you. But it slowly grew on me.

Tarantino directed The Protector correct? Thats the only movie of his that I've seen and it wasn't too bad. Really the only reason I saw it was cuza Tony Jaa. Story line wasn't too good. It didn't seem worthy of the fight scenes. Aight, that was my opinoin. wink

He played a journalist in a two part drama recently about the tsunami that was shown on British TV. He was excellent in that. thumbs up!

Jackie Brown is very under rated. I liked that one a lot.

Jackie Brown.

By far.

I'm not a fan, but that's one of my favorite movies ever. Love the cast and everything about it.

I think I like Tarrantino's taste in movies and inluences better than his actual movies... He used to come and show projected films from his personal collection in austin, tx back in late 90's at his own film marathons in a campus theatre. He showed the same stuff that intrigued me in middle school, all these hilarious, fun, schlocky b-movies of horror and action....

Jackie Brown. Pam Grier deserved an Oscar for that.
There are three sides to every story. My side, your side, and the truth. And no one is lying. Memories shared serve each one differently
