To be honest anything under 5 is pretty mediocre. I love top 4 though

Theyre all awesome, so this list is really hard to make. Death Proof is only last because it successfully achieved its goal of mimicking a B-movie. I still love it and love Kurt Russell in it.

1. Inglourious Basterds

I can see that. I love b movies though

The only thing I disagree on your list is inglorious, but I've noticed that tends to be a love it or hate it film

where do you get off ranking the Kill Bill films separately from each other?

The first film is universally considered the significantly inferior movie, both critically and by public

Pulp fiction
Jackie brown
Resiviour dogs
Kill Bill 1
Hateful 8
Kill Bill 2

Then the rest. Haven't seen death proof and don't care for some of his newer stuff

What? I thought it was the other way around.

First movie is much more exciting, too.

Not bad.

2-9 or whatever can be argued but if Jackie Brown isn't first, don't even make a list.

Jackie Brown is easily his best movie, IMO. I rank Pulp Fiction high on the list, because I literally went into it blind not having seen any trailers and not knowing who Tarantino was lol.

Yeah, I get honest people can disagree, opinions differ etc. but if you can't see the brilliance of Jackie Brown, I get like DeNiro in Goodfellas.

for what it's worth, I think that #1-6 are great, 7 is entraining, but meh for the last two.

That I've seen:

1. Pulp Fiction - I mean what can you say?
2. Jackie Brown - It's different and slower and I think that's why I love it. Plus Pam Grier, Robert Forster, and Sam Jackson.
3. Django Unchained - Just awesomness. Maybe a bit too long though. Seemed like they tacked on an end climax on top of a end climax.
4. Reservoir Dogs - It just still has that special something about it.
5. Inglorious Basterds - Has some awesome parts, but overall as a movie, eh. That bar scene where they play the game was a huge drag.
6. Kill Bill - I need to rewatch them, but I know I wasn't really enchanted by them at the time. One day I'll give them another chance.
7. Death Proof - Bleh. Just...wtf was that? Only good things about it Kurt Russel and the end car chase.

I could swap PF and JB. They're so close. I'm glad JB is getting love.

Jackie Brown is his best movie by far

This is some strange, revisionist world where people are putting hateful 8 in the top 5, wtf.

#1.) Once Upon A Time In Hollywood

• An alternate history for old school Hollywood film buffs, more of a calmed down Tarantino universe along the lines of JB.

#2.) Pulp Fiction

• Tarantino can try to paint over his own legacy all he wants (successfully at that, I might add) ~ but we all know what his real seminal masterpiece is.

#3/4.) Kill Bill (pts.1&2)

• Kill Bill quietly changed the way audiences see their summer blockbuster & whet our appetites once more for sequels. The cinematography is tight but freeing, and highly influential in terms of shots, pace, and even Quentins color palette. A duet ahead of its time.

#5.) The Hateful Eight

• Whats not to love? Tarantino returns to his roots, turns The Thing into 12 Angry Men, tries his hand at a real western, and makes one of the most beautifully filmed masterpieces of his career. This grandiosity of his later movies might distract some audience members from Hateful Eights genius, but dont get it twisted. This might be the post powerful post-Civil War film of all time not related to slavery.

#6.) Reservoir Dogs

• This was the mans first movie and ranks up on the list for good reason. Tarantino throws out the old argument of style vs substance & delivers audiences a rich gangster odyssey in a day of quality higher than the standard set by the masters of noir. Part stage play, part black comedy, Reservoir Dogs showed the world a class the likes of which we seldom ever see.

#7.) Jackie Brown

• A fan favorite, Jackie Brown lacks the mainstream popularity of many of its contemporaries but ranks high up on peoples top ten lists for good reasons. Supplanted deeper in the quiet side of life, Tarantino takes a stab at a more serious drama that draws laughs not out of slapstick or gore... but from the authenticity of its characters.

#8.) Django Unchained

• Extremely powerful movie that isnt afraid to cross boundaries with the best recognizable cast you could ask for, and officially started a new chapter in Tarantinos career. Theres a lot to say about this film, but I suspect most of that will be said by moviegoers who already fell in love with Tarantinos style by the time they got around to watching Django.

#9.) Inglorious Basterds

• One amazing movie! It ranks so low on this list of giants but it is actually one of the better movies of all time. Extremely different for Tarantino at the time of its making, Inglorious Basterds took a look at World War II Nazi France & opened up the book that would translate into Django Unchained.

#10.) Death Proof

• Whether because its only half a movie, or if its because Death Proof is a truer retro (which I love), here we are at #10. I actually like Death Proof a lot & hold no terribly important criticisms over it. Its just not got the world-moving qualities of the other Tarantinos. As far as like serial slasher movies or car movies go tho, it is a must watch. IMO, you dont view Tarantino the same way as me if you dont love what he was going for and appreciate it for what it is.... a good B Movie (See: Bad Movie)

encampra!

For the record I like all of his films. However his personal opinion on the Roman Polanski scenario is horrid. And makes me questions his morals as a human being. Which have got to be low considering his opinion.

Seems like I really need to rewatch Jackie Brown...
I saw it years ago and while I liked it, it didn't really stand out to me or anything. But too many people here put it high up in their lists, so it must mean something.
Unless liking Jackie Brown is a meme or something that I don't know about.

It's a good movie, but has those traits to get overrated in discussion boards

1. one of the oldest movies
2. doesn't get talked about as much
3. is genuinely pretty decent

It's definitely nowhere near the masterpieces of like Pulp Fiction and his other works, but it's def worth watching.

I feel like "Jackie Brown is the best Tarantino" is just another version of "The Last Jedi is the best Star Wars film"

Nah. It's just the "Look at how classy my opinion is" comments

It's like the ff9 of the ff series, clearly not the best but def underrated by a lot.

Or maybe people think it's a legitimately great movie. Nah, can't be.

I think your comment is indicative of poor verbal reasoning. We are clearly discussing how this thread has seen a lot of Jackie Brown or die posts/ratings, and how that is incongruent with that title's critical and public perception. On an individual level, having Jackie Brown as your favorite title doens't mean anything. Yet time and time again you see the slightly above middle of the road in a series heralded on forums. It's just a very repetitive behavior, and that repetition has caused me to think about it on a holistic (and not individualistic) level.
