It's pretty obvious. Every movie he's made except Reservoir Dogs has at least 10 seconds of foot action. Even Grindhouse. It's pretty hard to miss. He's even got a scene with foot action in From Dusk Til Dawn. He stares at the girl's feet for about 30 seconds. Anyways, I should know, since Tarantino's one of my favorite directors.
This is how I rank his films:
1.
Pulp Fiction - Pulp Fiction and Reservoir Dogs come really close, but ultimately, I like Pulp better. I'll explain why I like Reservoir Dogs when I get to Reservoir Dogs, but this is why I like Pulp Fiction better: it has a richer cast of characters. Samuel L. Jackson - obviously one of his best known roles, and arguably his greatest. Bruce Willis - I like the elements of his little story that Tarantino wrote in there, the watch, etc., it gave him a lot of depth, and it makes you care about him more when he's in the shop with Marsellus and you-know-who. It's got an awesome f*cking ending. "It's the one that says bad motherf*cker!". Because of all this, because of the characters and everything, it makes the film more colorful than Reservoir Dogs. And y'know, they're both totally different films. But in Reservoir Dogs, it all basically happens in the warehouse (which is fine, it really shows Tarantino's ability to write), and all the characters are white. And there are virtually no women in the movie (save for the waitress and the girl who
And finally, Pulp Fiction is a helluva lot more quotable. I guess if I watch Reservoir Dogs again I'll change my opinion again, and then I'll watch Pulp Fiction again and change my opinion oncemore. Every time I watch one I change my mind. And obviously, as one can expect from a Tarantino movie, great script.
2.
Reservoir Dogs - Tim Roth really shines as Mr. Orange, and pulls off an American accent really good (Christian Bale does it better, I'm afraid). Once again, great script. For me, the most memorable scene isn't the ear scene (which I wasn't very affected by....is that weird?), it's the beginning, right when they leave the diner, the slow-motion walk with the open credits, with the George Baker song ("Little Green Bag"). But really, I think Tim Roth at least deserved an Oscar nomination (was he nominated....?). Steve Buscemi is awesome too.
3.
Kill Bill Vol. 1&2 - I liked both volumes equally. They were filmed as one movie, right? Since it would be too long to release as one movie....Anyways, I just consider them one movie.
4.
Jackie Brown - It's a little duller than his other movies, but it's worth a view, and it's got sweet music (as usual). The book it's based on (Rum Punch, by Elmore Leonard) is pretty good, but Tarantino changed it a lot for the movie. Jackie Brown is a white woman named Jackie Burke, for example, and there are Neo-Nazis at the beginning.
5.
Death Proof (Grindhouse) - I know it's a little unfair to pit it against Pulp Fiction and Reservoir Dogs, since it's not technically a feature film (I'm pretty sure Quentin would try a little harder on the ending if it was a feature film), but it's still one of his movies. So, yeah, it was the worst.
I'm really looking forward to Inglorious Bastards. It takes elements from a lot of war movies like the Dirty Dozen and Cross of Iron and the Great Escape, but I think it's going to be unlike any war movie ever made.
Speilberg is my favourite director
