Every Quentin Tarantino Movie RANKED

[@JAProductions494]

I’m coming back to this video because I’ve now seen all of Tarantino’s films and can safely say that we definitely differ on some of the films. I really liked Death Proof and loved The Hateful Eight to be honest. I just found them really entertaining on the whole. And Kill Bill is one of my favourites but that’s more so for some specific personal reasons But at least we agree that films like Inglorious Basterds absolutely slap

Congrats on completing his filmography. Glad you enjoyed some of the ones I didn’t, wouldn’t want to take that away from you

[@fearlessjoebanzai]

I didn't realise that The Hateful Eight was 3hrs long! It absolutely flew by for me!

[@DCSMedia]

That’s awesome to hear, and I’m glad you enjoyed it more than me, never want to take that away from you. Usually I can enjoy a long film, as evident in my love for some of Tarantino’s other lengthy films like Inglorious Basterds or Pulp Fiction. It’s more a matter of taste I’d say.

[@fearlessjoebanzai]

@@DCSMedia, you said you were reluctant to rewatch it, but I have to recommend a rewatch - particularly once you know the surprise. Also I cannot recommend watching Jackie Brown again - that movie gets better and better with every rewatch. Sometimes we go into a film expecting one thing and when we don't get it we write it off. I was lucky to learn this early when I watched Fargo with my dad. We were both massive Coen brothers fans and heard for months that this was their best movie ever... we were thoroughly disappointed. However we had the movie on a weekend rental and independently, unbeknownst to each other, watched it again - only to talk about it at dinner afterwards and both be gushing in our praise of it! Cheers mate.

@@fearlessjoebanzaiI may try and revisit Hateful 8, but it probably won’t be for a while. I only watched it for the first time the other day. Jackie Brown I haven’t seen in a while, and I would actually really like to watch again soon. I feel like that could creep up the ranking if I revisit it.

I chuckled when I woke up this morning and saw this video in my stack. The reason was that I saw “Hateful Eight” a few days ago, and at the time I said, “Finally I have seen a movie that is worse than ‘Plan 9 from Outer Space’.” I told myself that I better not comment on this video because I know what a Tarantino fan you are, and I didn’t want to hurt your feelings. I was relieved, though, when you put “Hateful Eight” at the bottom. Your comments about the film were spot-on. I appreciate that you can be objective, even when talking about a film from your favorite director. I have only seen one or two other Tarantino films, and he is not my cup of tea. There is a certain “roughness” to his work that doesn’t appeal to me. Still, I have learned a few things by watching your videos about his films. We have a beautiful day on-tap here in Arizona, and I hope your day in the UK was as nice. My friends and I are going to celebrate “Cinco de Mayo,” a holiday invented by beer companies in the American Southwest to sell more beer. I’m going to make my own fresh salsa, and we’re going to eat lots of your favorite food, tacos! Thanks for the video, Dan. I enjoyed it.

[@DCSMedia]

I maybe wouldn’t go that far with Hateful 8 XD, but it isn’t all that. I would be curious to know which other Tarantino films you’ve seen. I do get the “roughness” not being to everyone’s taste, but if you’re looking for something more polished, I think Inglorious Basterds is the film for you, it has a very classic feeling to it, so that may be more for you. Thanks for watching, and hope you have a great day :)

@@DCSMedia Dan, I looked through Tarantino’s filmography, and the only films I remember watching besides “Hateful Eight” were “Django Unchained” and “Inglorious Basterds.” I recall thinking of them as good movies at the time, but I don’t recall many details about either film today. You may think this is stupid, and it may well be, but as I looked over the list of films Tarantino has made, something that struck me was that the titles are somewhat off-putting to me and don’t motivate me to watch them. My brother refused to watch certain movies based on their titles. One that comes to mind was “Cider House Rules,” which I thought was a very good movie. He refused to watch the movie because he thought it was a stupid title, while that title was actually a key element of the story. Likewise, my brother used to praise “Silence of the Lambs” while to this day I have never watched it because, “Who wants to see a movie about a bunch of quiet sheep?” Do you think I am off my rocker about the importance of movie titles, or do you think the title can make or break a movie’s success? I would very much like to hear your thoughts on this.

[@DCSMedia]

Admittedly I haven't really considered this approach. Often the things that draw me to a film are things like an actor, or a director, or even the genre, it's rarely the title of a film. But with Tarantino's films I can see what you mean. Pulp Fiction for instance doesn't exactly give you a strong idea of what it will be about.

[@sarahclayton4054]

Finally thanks Dan for the Tarantino ranking!

[@DCSMedia]

Took me long enough XD

Nice one Dan loved it

Thanks

Some absolute bangers here

[@fearlessjoebanzai]

Just to add a, possibly nit-picky, correction... you said at the beginning that he had influenced film making since arriving on the scene, when in fact he has quite literally influenced and to some degree informed, the entirety of pop culture since day one. I had the pleasure of showing my son Pulp Fiction for the first time a couple of weeks ago (we watched Reservoir Dogs a number of years back) and he was blown away - obviously by the movie itself but moreso I think by the amount of cultural references that were generated from it. At that point it struck me that, even though I was well aware of this phenomenon and had witnessed it from day one, I can't think of anything that comes close to his first two films but Pulp in particular, for cultural legacy. Only Star Wars seems as pervasive but even that is generally linked to a subset of the media landscape. The day after watching we were at my father's house, he still has terrestrial TV (literal boomer)and we chuckled as an advert came on using the opening tune from PF in an entirely unrelated way but was quite clearly inspired by the film - 30 years after the fact! Is there any other film/maker/series that has not only remained relevant, but also cool, after 30yrs? With no sign of slowing down? Quentin is quite an incredible beast.

[@DCSMedia]

Yeah you are right with that, and I was being kinda flippant with that in my intro. But you are correct, he has had a large impact in our wider culture outside of cinema. You mentioned an advert there with the PF music, there’s something similar in the UK with a set of direct line car insurance adverts, where Harvey Keitel reprises his Wolfe character. I’ll leave a link to one for you to check out but they’re really fun and proves your point. The only other contemporary director I could think who has this same cultural influence is Christopher Nolan, but Tarantino is arguably stronger in this regard. Btw, here’s the link to the advert kzbin.info/www/bejne/p4O3hJdjpdWEfLMsi=5jWe3RUwkQyMriM5

[@fearlessjoebanzai]

@@DCSMedia, yeah I'm in the UK and I've seen those godforsaken Wolfe adverts!

[@fearlessjoebanzai]

@@DCSMedia - you might hate me here for the example I pick, but you're a young guy so even if you don't appreciate the reference I hope you understand it, but those Winston Wolfe adverts to me are like if in 20 years you see an advert and it's "hi there I'm 🌈Pewdipie🌈" - and he's advertising sausage casserole sauce or something! It's like - give it a rest.

[@JAProductions494]

I’ll admit that I’ve still got 4 Tarantino films that I need to watch (most notably Django Unchained and Once Upon a Time in Hollywood) but I nonetheless enjoyed this video thoroughly. It may be a cliché opinion but Tarantino really is one of the best modern directors. Yes, film bros obsess over him way too much and yes, the foot shots are kind of annoying and weird but I still love his films in spite of that. My favourite that I’ve seen is Inglorious Basterds because it is just near-perfect for the entire run time. It’s just a really intelligent film overall and it’s one that I frequently go back to for filmmaking inspiration We do disagree massively on Kill Bill though. I understand why not everyone loves it but for me, it’s my second favourite. I just find it so damn cool, consistently engaging and stylised in a breathtaking way. However, I’d still argue that it has a lot of substance through its themes of revenge and family. I think it’s a really meaty film whilst also being really cool. Also, it was my first Tarantino movie so bonus marks there

[@DCSMedia]

Thanks for watching. Inglorious Basterds is a very worthy no.1, and had I not seen RD as early as I did, it may have been my number 1. And yeah I get my Kill Bill placement is my hottest take. I still really enjoy it though.

[@JustinWilliams367]

1. Pulp Fiction 2. Reservoir Dogs 3. Inglorious Basterds 4. Django Unchained 5. Once Upon A Time In Hollywood 6. Kill Bill 7. Jackie Brown 8. The Hateful Eight 9. Death Proof

[@DCSMedia]

Great list. Pretty similar to mine all things considered

[@fearlessjoebanzai]

Subjective is as subjective does. Jackie Brown is possibly his best, KB2 is another contender, Pulp and Reservoir equally so, KB1 is the greatest set up film I've ever seen - I literally wanted to watch the next one instantly and had to wait a bloody year! Django's mint as is Hateful, Once Upon I've only seen once in a irritating cinema experience but I enjoyed it all the same, Death Proof was a quick exciting watch. Inglorious is the only movie of his that I have just not been able to get into - and it might be because of how fantastic the opening scene is that it seems downhill from there! But subjective is as subjective does!

[@DCSMedia]

It’s great to hear your take on his films. I completely get how some cinema experiences can hinder enjoyment of a film. I had that recently with Dune and Killers Of The Flower Moon. I would suggest rewatching OUATIH to see if it improves. Interesting how different our opinions are in some places, like with JB near the top, and IG near the bottom, but thanks for sharing :)

[@fearlessjoebanzai]

@@DCSMedia as I said I enjoyed Hollywood despite the cinema - I kinda want to see it on the big screen again though, with the annoyances that plagued my first viewing - so it may be a while!

Unrelated but RIP Bernard Hill

I did hear about that. May he rest in peace

Not sue I agree with everything on here but you do know how to back up your points well.

That’s cool, I always love hearing other peoples lists and reviews, and I’m glad you understand where I’m coming from. I know you’re a big Pulp Fiction fan, but how do rate his other films?
