I've always loved it and even though I like some of his other movies better overall, for some reason it's probably the most rewatchable of all them. The only weak spot to me was Channing Tatum and his horrific accent and acting. Samuel L. Jackson stole the show but the most underrated performance IMO was James Parks as OB, Michael Parks son for a bit of trivia. He cracked me up the whole movie

I think it’s a great movie, but there’s some tough competition for Tarantino’s best films.

We were the same after seeing it in the theater, but now watch every time it's on.

I loved the Cinematography from the beginning, but the story gets better every watch.

So it’s one of his best but you list 4 other films as better??

I watched it again for the first time in awhile during the snow days. Didn’t like it, Sam Jackson was too much especially with the dick story. Bottom tier film for QT

That's actually a pretty hot take. I will say, unlike most QT films, I liked Once Upon a Time in Hollywood less on the rewatch. Which is probably a first for me. Though I sill think it's a great movie.

Same. A lot of those scenes were done incredibly well.

Kill Bill's are essentially one film and it's right there with Pulp Fiction and Inglorious Bastards. So yea, one of his bests.

The only QT film I didn't like was Death Proof.

The Hateful Eight was a fun movie and I love the cold Wyoming setting.

It's a great movie.

Here's an even more unpopular opinion. Basterds was pure frickin' garbage.

He got the dialogue in Eight right. Not overly talky with all the ridiculous yammering, like Basterds and some of his other movies.

I've seen all of his movies. Pulp is a fun watch, but not great. The Bills and Dogs are his best work, followed by Eight. Basterds and Hollywood are boring as shite.

I like H8 but his best is Jackie Brown.

My list would look much different, as Django wouldn't be in my top 5.


My god Brown was a bad movie. Django was ok. The only thing that saved it was the 2nd act.

Didn't care for the dingus scene, and the ending was weak. The original screenplay was better (same as with Django), but Tarantino decided to change the ending again.

Rewatched it last night and I forgot how much the QT narration was out of place during Daisy has a Secret pause. The movie could've played out and everything would've been explained just fine in the script.
