QUENTIN TARANTINO FILMS - since we are talking about film...

Who the fuck is Ninabambina?
Critically, I'll say Pulp Fiction was his best. Inglourious Basterds was great also.
My faves might just be Jackie Brown, Kill Bill vol 1, and of course True Romance (written by QT, directed by Tony Scott).

Shit like once upon a time in Hollywood is unwatchable
Inglorious Basterds
Django Unchained
From Dusk Til Dawn
Those are my favorites in that order. For some reason I just couldn’t get into Pulp Fiction and both the Kill Bills.
Note my top 4, 3 of them had George Clooney or Brad Pitt and as far as I’m concerned just about any movie with either of those guys in it is going to be good. Yeah they’ve had a few flops but not many.
I lived in California as a child in the sixties, and he really caught the feel of California in that time period. I don't know how historically accurate his other movies are but that one was. The alternate history ending with the Manson family wasn't historically accurate but was entertaining.
Once upon a Time in Hollywood, as far as I'm concerned he's a good but not great film maker.
He loves movies and enjoys talking about them. Compare that to Robert DeNiro who’s a sanctimonious prick

Salma Hayek. You talk about getting the attention of your audience.
My favorite are both Kill Bill movies.
"I liked True Romance more because its his script but lacks his heavy-handed directing style."
I ageed with you there. As a matter of fact, I wouldn't have liked the film as much if Scott had kept Quentin's original ending. Apparantly, Clarence was supposed to die in that end shootout and Alabama still leaves for Mexico with the money by herself. I have even seen an alternate ending, and it's really sad. I like it better the way it is.
Pulp Fiction has some great scenes, too. The end scene is magical, but there are so many more. Even down to Christopher Walken's dialogue about Bruce Willis' character's daddy's watch (which, if you missed it, was inside of an asshole for quite some time, of course).
Inglourious Basterds' Tavern scene? *chef's kiss.*
Kill Bill vol 1 has an opening scene that can rival any film's opening. Her driving off in the "Pussy Wagon" to end the scene was just the cherry on top. The crazy 88's scene was amazing cinema that clearly took a lot of hard work. Must've been a bitch to film.
"Now take your hands from around my throat, NIGGA" from Jackie Brown? Amazing story telling.
Salma Hayek was mesmerizing in her role in From Dusk Till Dawn as much as any female ever on film, including the likes of Marilyn Monroe.
I'll always have a soft spot for how he let Uma Thurman be a bad ass and not just eye candy.
Pulp Fiction is less substance with more flash. I still like it, but it's less coherent. That said ... I am also a fan of the Christopher Walken scene.
I might be the odd one out here, but I got pretty bored with Kill Bill (both of them).
