POLL: Favorite Tarantino film?
Django for me, closely followed by Kill Bill Vol. 1. Django feels like his most 'complete' film that doesn't jeopardize his own distinct style.
I cast my vote for Pulp Fiction, with Reservoir Dogs as the first runner up. In both those movies, everything from the writing, acting, filming etc. is just fantastic. The reason I chose Pulp over Dogs is that I like the story and the characters a tiny bit more. Tough choice as hell. Inglorious Basterds comes as a solid third.

I choose Pulp Fiction, I know it is the common choice but I do think that is his best, if you made the 2 Kill Bill films into 1 then that would get my vote.
I don't care for the Kill Bill films at all. By the way, is that Peter Dinklage on your picture, or just a random cartoon that looks very similar?
I chose Fiction, but it's been long enough since I've seen Fiction and Basterds that I can imagine a world where they've flip-flopped. Jackie Brown is next in line, followed by Django.
I didn't really love Reservoir Dogs. Also, I haven't seen Kill Bill V. 2, Death Proof, or his script-only films.
I used to like Tarantino a lot when I was younger, but then I grew up and realized that he is really just a try-hard fanboy. That said, I rank Inglorious Basterds among my very favorite films. I feel like Tarantino really became a mature filmmaker with that movie.
I didn't have any intention to see Django Unchained, seeing as how I don't like Jamie Foxx and Tarantino tends to strike me the wrong way, but after hearing so many good things about it, I intend to check it out sooner or later.
The film i'm watching right this second, Pulp Fiction, watched it probably 10 times and it's still a really great movie. I've seen all off them, don't remember much from Natural Born Killers though, maybe I should watch it again. Reservoir Dogs comes in at a close second and Death Proof is the worst off Tarantino's films.
Pulp Fiction is the go to for everyone and while it's no doubt amazing and one of the greatest films ever made, it's just not something I can watch over and over again like Kill Bill Vol 1. I could sit down and watch Kill Bill (both but Vol. 1 is better) any day of the week. I love the music, the cinematography, the dialog, the over the top violent climax. It's my favorite.
As much as I love Django, Basterds, Jackie Brown, and Reservoir Dogs, Pulp Fiction is an easy choice for me. That is just such a great movie.

I have to disagree. I can't remember how many times I've seen the first scene with Jules and Vincent.
DOES HE LOOK LIKE A BITCH?
These polls that get made right after Tarantino releases a new movie just aren't fair. I can't decide whether Django is just my movie of 2012 or my all time favorite Tarantino work.
Ask me in two years when Django's novelty wears off! I refuse to vote.
Jackie Brown is his best, Basterds or Django are probably my 'favorite' in terms of which I would probably have the most fun/gain the most by rewatching.
Pulp fiction should have either won or been first runner up for the Oscar but that's a different discussion.
For the films he directed it goes Django Unchained, Inglourious Basterds, Jackie Brown, Kill Bill 1 & 2, Resevoir Dogs, Death Proof, Pulp Fiction.
For those he wrote but didn't direct it goes, Natural Born Killers and then True Romance. Both would be behind anything he directed himself.
I haven't seen From Dusk Till Dawn.
I think they're all pretty awesome, but Reservoir Dogs is one of my all time favorite movies, so I have to vote for that.
I'm a big Tarantino fan. I would say that Pulp Fiction is definitely his best.
In order from best to worst, this would be my list:
- Pulp Fiction
- Reservoir Dogs
- Django Unchained
- Inglorious Basterds
- True Romance
- Kill Bill Vol. 1
- Kill Bill Vol. 2
- From Dusk Till Dawn
- Jackie Brown
- Death Proof
I don't care for what I've seen of Natural Born Killers.
And I've only seen Jackie Brown once, and I must watch it again. That's why its so far down there as of now.
Oh, and though Death Proof is last, I do actually like that movie for what it is. A dumb Grindhouse-style movie.
I haven't seen Django yet but of the rest, I like True Romance the best, Pulp Fiction and Natural Born Killers had a bigger impact on me when they came out but I don't think either has aged as well as True Romance.
Inglorious and the Kill Bill films are my least favorite of the bunch, they aren't bad movies, just completely average compared to his other stuff.
I'm glad someone voted Deathproof as their favorite, sometimes I think I'm the only one that ever liked that movie.
Jackie Brown has one of the best movie soundtracks I've ever heard
Goddamn it, Django is a beast of film. Just saw it today, there were only three other people in the whole screen with me!
Jackie Brown stands as his most unique work, when compared to the rest of his catalogue. And it's goddamn awesome.
Pulp Fiction is also a goddamn monster.
Goddamn.
It also seems like we are mixing Tarantino-directed films with Tarantino-written films. Is that the case? Because they are two very different things indeed.

I have never understood the term "try-hard" as some sort of insult. Some people I play online games with use it all the time, and I really don't get it. Should someone not be trying hard? If you're playing an online competitive game, or in this instance making a multi million dollar film, should you give it everything you have? Would Tarantino not giving a shit somehow make his films better? Wouldn't that just make him or anyone else a joke like Uwe Boll?
