Tarantino’s films mostly suck.

Coen Brothers’ films are mostly brilliant.

Easy decision.

I absolutely love Jackie Brown but all the other Tarantino movies I wouldn't miss a bit. The Big Lebowski is right up there with it. Can I get two films from each director? I'll take Jackie, Lebowski, Once Upon a Time in Hollywood and Hail Caesar. If I had to choose, it would be the Coens. But that's just like, my opinion, man.

I'll take QT t it is close. The kicker for me is he wrote True Romance which is one of my all-time favorite movies.

A real Sophie’s choice.

I really can’t call it. I’ve seen pulp fiction & reservoir dogs more than any on that list, and I feel like younger me would’ve definitely gone with Tarantino, but older me can’t imagine not watching Fargo & No Country once a year. I also love a serious man, blood simple & Lebowski.

I guess since I’ve seen pulp fiction, reservoir dogs, kill bill & inglorious bastards so many times already it would be easier to give them up.

Ultimately I just can’t give up my yearly winter viewing of Fargo. It’s too perfect.

ETA: However, I’ll watch any Tarantino movie at any time. There are a few coen movies I’ve only seen once, and have absolutely no desire to ever watch again. frick. I’m still sticking with coen, but I might talk myself out of it later.

I’ve only really liked 2 Tarantino Movies:

Pulp Fiction and Inglorious Bastards, but I’m jewish so I am the nost targeted audience for Bastards.

I actually Dislike Reservoir dogs, kill bill, django, hateful 8.

I have never seen ONce Upon a Time in Hollywood, but Tarantino’s track record isn’t great with me.

On the other hand, I either loved or enjoyed all of the Coen Brother’s movies. Hail Ceaser was really underrated.

I like some of QT's movies, but his use of exposition makes me roll my eyes, and alot of the dialogue sounds like it was written with only one character in mind. Cohen Bros for the win.

you forgot A Serious Man (one of my favorite of theirs) and Inside Llewyn Davis.

It’s as if he intended to handicap the Coens by including the Hail Caesars and omitting the Lebowskis.

For me it comes down to the near impossible choice of losing Once Upon a Time in Hollywood or Llewelyn Davis and O Brother. I’d go with the Coens, but I’d want one last weekend with OUATIH.

Especially on this board.

Poking fun at the Hollywood Communists is hilarious.
