Total Recall: Quentin Tarantino's Best Movies

by Jeff Giles | Thursday, Dec. 27 2012

Summary

Since making his debut with Reservoir Dogs 20 years ago, Quentin Tarantino has enjoyed one of the fastest-rising -- and consistently critically lauded -- careers of any director in modern Hollywood. He's back this weekend with the Jamie Foxx-led revenge fantasy Western Django Unchained, and the reviews are typically solid -- which means now is the perfect time to dedicate a feature to taking a fond look back at his earlier efforts. So cover the kids' ears and keep an eye on Marvin in the back seat, because this week, we're serving up Total Recall Tarantino style! Back to Article

Jackie Brown is too damn low. And where's Django Unchained?

To me Inglorious Bastards should not be on the list, I saw it and thought it was pretty weak compared to Pulp Fiction and Kill Bill movies.

After The Display Of Amazing Film Making...Django Unchained Automatically Jumps To The #2 Spot On The List Of Best Tarantino Films...Behind Pulp Fiction Of Course.

Oh come on!!! Pulp Fiction is film's Hamlet where as Resevoir Dogs is just a movie.-TB

Fun Fact: 'Reservoir Dogs' is a rip off of a Hong Kong movie called 'City on Fire'! In fact, most scenes from Quentin Tarantino movies are copied from old, obscure movies because he's a thieving hack!

There is no goddam way Inglorious Bastards should be above Jackie Brown on this list.

Dec 28 - 11:27 AM

Brett Jenken

No True Romance?

Dec 28 - 01:19 PM

Jeffrey Fawcett

Top five, no specific order - Res. Dogs, Pulp Fiction, True Romance, Death Proof, Inglourious B... Jackie Brown a close sixth. Not a fan of the Kill Bills. I'd make a "worst two" list, just for them. Still getting around to seeing Django.

hey where's sin city?

There is no way that any of QT's movies made between the years or 2000-2010 are better than his 90s movies. Inglorious Basterds should be below Jackie Brown.

Dec 28 - 02:35 PM

I agree. I've never understood the love of QT. seriously. I liked Pulp Fiction and RD's but I think most of his later films are just trailers pasted together.

Dec 28 - 06:26 PM

John Noto

Austin Powers inclusion in 'Inglourious' damn near ruined the movie for me.

Dec 28 - 03:11 PM

Cheryl Wilson

PULP FICTION!!!

Dec 28 - 03:39 PM

1. Pulp Fiction 2. Reservoir Dogs 3. Inglorious Basterds 4. Jackie Brown 5. Django

Dec 28 - 06:41 PM

Jason Siegel

I would have reversed the top 2. Reservoir Dogs was a solid debut film, but Pulp Fiction really was the better of the 2.

Dec 28 - 06:48 PM

Rob Fuentes

I agree with this list....except personally I would switch Reservoir Dogs with Pulp Fiction. Reservoir Dogs put him on the map. He showed the world his genius and showed the world he wasn't afraid to go outside the box. Pulp Fiction... a masterpiece of cinema and writing... Showed the world that QT was not just a one hit wonder. He created a film, that in my opinion is the bench mark of film writing even today.
