19. Pam Grier...
She is so beautiful.
I enjoyed "Jackie Brown". I need to see more of his films-that one was interesting!

31. Pulp Fiction or Jackie Brown...
one of the two, I can't decide. Although, i'm inclined slightly to go with PF.

Oh, Resovoir Dogs gets an honorable mention

12. Pulp Fiction
Kill Bill is a bloated ego fest.

15. Pulp Fiction was mesmerizing
but I have a particular fondness for Jackie Brown. Bridget Fonda and Robert DeNiro in the parking lot...Robert Forrestor all the time. And the wonderful Pam Grier and Samual L. Jackson. Wiggy movie.

17. Kill Bill
Edited on Thu Oct-30-03 07:01 PM by FDRrocks
the first part was actually worth sitting through the obligatory 15 minutes of commercials in the theatre to see. Second one should be great, I hear it is 3 hours long.

25. Pulp Fiction
there are so many homages to other films in that - it's really an astonishing accomplishment.

30. I'll second that...
Funny, when I saw Reservior Dogs, I swore that Pulp Fiction was a sequel to it. And my BF says no, and I'm a little disappointed...It kinda would have made sense, if the robber at the pancake house wouldn't have been the cop that got shot and died at the warehouse. But Pulp Fiction is one of those movies I can watch Over and OVER and never get tired of it...

27. Second that
It's the only one of his movies I think is worth a damn. And I think it's really good, with a dark humor that had a strong appeal for me.

I detested Reservoir Dogs. It's almost unwatchable for me.

34. Thanks for playing! The Correct Answer was...
True Romance.

Packed with stars, this paean to the three-way duel and the McGuffin suitcase full of coke that nobody ever blows ranks as the best screenplay QT has penned.

Directed by speed-freak Tony Scott, and delivering Tony Soprano's audition tape, TR makes violence look like a ballet.

Stealing, Cheating, Killing. Who said romance is dead?

35. Clarify? Tarantino has done 4 movies:
Resevoir Dogs

Pulp Fiction

Jackie Brown

Kill Bill

Thus when you go to see Kill Bill it says 'the 4th film by Quentin Tarantino' in the opening credits.

Do you mean films he has directed, or films he has been involved with, because some answers on this thread are not directed by him.
