    Oh boy, that’s a question for me. I’m a huge Tarantino fan and I’ve never considered ranking his movies, so this took me a while. I can understand some may think his movies overrated, but since I’ve grown up with them, they very much defined my love for movies, so I truly believe all of them are good, if not great.

    1. Pulp Fiction - It’s hard to overstate how influential this film is. It is revolutionary, perfectly directed, and just so damn fun. Masterpiece in every sense of the word.

    2. The Hateful Eight - An amazing (almost) limited setting film with top-notch performances. This movie is very much about the atmosphere, subverting the classic western genre, with a great cast to round it off.

    3. Jackie Brown - This is black Pulp Fiction, taking everything great from its predecessor and composing probably the best story of all Tarantino films.

    4. Reservoir Dogs - I’m clearly biased, but the non-linear storytelling and the compact story, and just the overall coolness of the characters make this my favorite movie of all time.

    5. Inglourious Basterds - As fresh as they come, this film compelled me to look at historical movies in a completely different light. It’s also the most thrilling one.

    6. Django Unchained - Fun premise, great story, and just amazing performances from every single actor in the movie.

    7. Once Upon a Time in Hollywood - Made mostly for an American audience, it’s thrilling and fun, but relies a lot on it’s (excellent) cast.

    8. Kill Bill - Tarantino considers both volumes as a single film, so I do too. Vol. 2 probably lowers the rank a lot here, but only because Vol. 1 is so exceptionally intense that it was hard to live up to.

    9. Death Proof - The weakest of his movies and maybe the most brutal, Death Proof leans more on the double feature gimmicks, but is still very entertaining and (dare I say) innovative.

    I’m waiting for his final film, but I’m in no rush, as I would watch any of these movies again any day.

        Well, I tried to rank them objectively, as I would recommend them to others 🙂

          Off topic, dawg. Not Germane. This thread is specifically asking about you. How do you rank it?

            Then just move Reservoir Dogs to the top and the rest are more or less the same

      I disagree on the order, but you forgot Four Room (Penthouse – “The Man from Hollywood”).

        I haven’t, but I don’t consider Four Rooms to be a Tarantino movie as he only directed a quarter of it (the best quarter though). It also isn’t in the OP’s list.

          He wrote and directed that quarter of it, so it counts in my book, but I hear you on the OP’s list.
