Inglorious Basterds seems to be the consensus pick for the best of 2009. So...is it Tarantino's best?

Out of all his films, I disliked Inglorious Basterds. I loved everything that came before it. I go through spurts of which are my favorites.......for six months, I could be on the Pulp Fiction kick, another six months the Kill Bill kick, etc, etc.

I always smile at the deleted scene in Jackie Brown where Michael Keaton and Pam Grier are in the restaurant, and Michael makes Pam laugh with a joke about whores. I forget how that went, but it's gold, Jerry. Gold!

shouldn't this be a poll?

Yes, it should be. But somehow I screwed that up when creating the thread. Sorry, folks.

You can add a poll after thread has been started. See my favorite john hughes movie thread

Jackie Brown. Easily.

1. Reservoir Dogs
2. Jackie Brown
3. Inglourious Basterds
4. Pulp Fiction
5. Kill Bill Vol. 2
6. Kill Bill Vol.1
7. Death Proof

I just double checked IMDB to make sure I didn't miss anything and noticed Kill Bill Vol. 3 has been announced. When did that happen? I never even heard that as a rumor. And I realize 1. IMDB isn't exactly the most accurate and 2. False Tarantino Rumors have been running rampant for years, but it's interesting news none-the-less.

HIs worst is definitely Death Proof, which is like a Tarantino parody. Best, I'd honestly be torn between Basterds, Pulp and Kill Bill V. 1 (I like V. 2 but it's a bit less taut than the first part).

I assume we are talking about Tarantino-directed films?

I'm not a big fan, to be honest. I'd probably have to say Jackie Brown.

Mine is still Pulp Fiction.

Might have changed since we last had this thread...

1. Pulp Fiction
2. Reservoir Dogs
3. Kill Bill Vol. 1
4. Inglourious Basterds
5. Kill Bill Vol. 2
6. Jackie Brown
7. Death Proof

True Romance

Pulp Fiction for me.

Pulp Fiction.

"Jackie Brown." He was given a coherent narrative to work with and was allowed to add his own personal style to it. That's the only complaint I have about his original work; he goes off on tangents, that the audience doesn't always care about.

x2.

'Jackie Brown' is his best film as a director.

'True Romance Director's/Extended Cut' - with Scott at the helm, is my favorite film by him. I just wish the elevator scene with Walken would have been left in. It added a lot to the flow of the film.

Pulp Fiction, though Kill Bill vol.1 gets better with each viewing. Not seen Jackie Brown or Death Proof yet

Crimson Tide

Reservoir Dogs without a doubt.

The one where he makes a bunch of references to older obscure movies.

KILL BILL VOL. 1

Very close second and third: INGLOURIOUS BASTERDS, JACKIE BROWN

Worst: DEATH PROOF, KILL BILL VOL. 2

My fav? Damn...I love them all. Might be Reservoir Dogs or Basterds.
