What is YOUR favorite Quentin Tarantino film?

[CountDeMoney]

Everybody went ga-ga over the structure and dialogue of Pulp Fiction.  It's the extent to which they did so that's always been baffling; ultimately, it's a great film that became as influential as it did for reasons I don't fully understand.

For the same reason your simple-minded text monkey, Adderal-withdrawal generation doesn't get Nirvana's Nevermind;  you weren't there.

It's like bitching about Casablanca being full of quotable cliches;  they weren't fucking quotable cliches at the time.

I watched it in like '96.

[CountDeMoney]

Objection overruled.

[The Brain]

I watched it in like '96.

Pulp Fiction was from his mother's womb untimely watch'd.

[Grey Fox]

I choose the Dogs but I have not seen all his movies.

[Tonitrus]

Voted the Jaron option.  I haven't seen most (actually, probably none) of Tarantino's films, nor do they interest me.

[garbon]

I went with KB vol 1. Pulp fiction was great but featuring travolta is a big negative.

I've owned RD for several years but have had no desire to watch it.

[grumbler]

Pulp Fiction.  One of the very few movies I have seen twice in the theater.

RD was good, but as someone said, it is pretty clearly a learning experience for Tarantino, and so doesn't always get things quite right.  IB tried much, much too hard.  it doesn't even rate "good" on my scale, in spite of its having its moments.  JB was good, but not great.  Not so clunky as IB, so better overall.

Kill Bill 1 was probably my second-favorite.  Tarantino hit once again upon the ideal mix of humor, suspense and surrealism.

[katmai]

Fuck, I forgot to include Jackie Brown.  Can I edit that in, or not, or what?

Edited in for you by your overlairds.

Can you correct Tim's spelling of Inglourious Basterds, too?

You got it!

What did I originally write?

[Ed Anger]

Ugh, Uma's gnarly feet.

Kids love Nirvana. Oddly

Kids love Nirvana. Oddly

Probably because it's so "retro".

[Ideologue]

Actually, Nirvana is a good example.  I owned that album.

I really, really wish I were as young as you think I am, man.

If Pulp Fiction's relatively simple structural tricks and the voice of the author coming through like a loudspeaker in every character's dialogue really did blow your mind, maybe it says more about your mind.*

*DIRECTED SOLELY AT CDM.  I'm mainly joking, especially about the structure, which probably has a point (Jules' redemption, Vincent's fall).  But seriously, people who treat it like the Watchmen of film are taking it a little far.
