I think he directed one of the segments, not the whole movie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is the mystery of why Bruce Willis is not in the credits still unresolved? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lady April Posted January 26, 2009 Share Posted January 26, 2009 Of my entire Tarentino collection I think I lean more towards Jackie Brown. I love the score to the movie, I have always thought Pam Grier was awesome since I was a kid in the 70's and the set up of Bridget Fonda and Robert De Niro "doing it" is just so disgusting it's classic. Samuel L. Jackson - nuff said. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slaine mac Roth Posted January 26, 2009 Share Posted January 26, 2009 Sadly there isn't a 'none of the above' option because, personally, I really don't think much of Tarantino's work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HisCounterpart Posted January 26, 2009 Share Posted January 26, 2009 I love DeNiro in JB! It seems like he always playes the same kinda guy in every single film of his, the only difference in JB is that his character is pathetic and uncool, whereas in every other film he's the coolness incarnate))).. It's amazing how he doesn't really ACT much different though))) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ozzy85 Posted January 26, 2009 Share Posted January 26, 2009 Had I seen this thread when I joined here, i would have voted for Kill Bill. Both of them. Yes, they are violent, but cartoonishly so. I like chop socky flicks. Better yet though, I like Deathproof. I like '70's car movies even better than chop socky movies. I just watched Vanishing Point last night. I used to think I was a stunt driver in my younger years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turn Me On Dead Man Posted January 26, 2009 Share Posted January 26, 2009 Obviously Pulp Fiction. Reservoir Dogs is great. I've never seen Jackie Brown. Kill Bill was....eh. I know it's loaded with satire, but it's way too corny for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GeddyRulz Posted January 27, 2009 Share Posted January 27, 2009 Wow! I went with Pulp too, but I thought there'd be more votes for Reservoir Dogs than there are. Doesn't it have a cult following? BTW, I think Tarantino is over-rated. One or two good movies, and that's it. What's so great about that?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What's so great about that?? I think those who love Tarantino recognise that he is very different the way he writes his films, especially his dialogues. Also, I have never seen any other film maker speak so enthusiastically about his work. Having watched so many hours of documentary features I have learned that what sets great films aside from just films is enthusiasm of those who make them... Which pretty much guarantees that a Tarantino film will a great one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stormtron Posted January 27, 2009 Share Posted January 27, 2009 The first third of From Dusk till Dawn is pretty awesome too. Sure, it gets silly by the end, but he did a great job with the screenplay. I think his strength, much like Kevin Smith, is in his writing.

Now that was different! I know why you think hes uncool, cause he shot BF when she was breaking his balls in the parking lot Yeah, he was not at all a good guy in that one. Small piece of trivia, in one shot of Copland (as DeNiro comes out of One Police PLaza to greet Ray Liotta and the bloodied Stallone at the end of the film) you can see that DeNiro's mustache is considerably longer than the rest of the film. This is because he had begun to shoot, or prepare to shoot Jackie Brown and he had grown it longer, and was then called back for a re-shoot of that one particular shot.
