All 9 Quentin Tarantino's Movies, Ranked From Meh to Chef's Kiss
Ranking the movies of a genius might be hard work, but we are ready to take a risk.
Let's dive in, shall we?
9. Jackie Brown (1997)
Most of the fans consider this movie underrated, but we decided to stay on the other side. It has everything you expect from Tarantino's movie: crime, passion, blood, and even an Oscar nomination.
We don't say it wasn't good, but was it as good as his other works? Well, meh.
8. Death Proof (2007)
We love when Tarantino gives us badass female main characters, and in this movie we got four of them.
The dynamic, chases, and even suspense that you experience while watching are chilling, but the dialogues weren't up to Tarantino's highest standard.
7. Reservoir Dogs (1992)
Tarantino's feature-length debut and a true gem of cinematography. A heist movie, where you actually don't see a heist but the consequences only.
A sweet aftertaste makes you realize that this young director is just warming you up before the bigger stories that he is about to deliver.
6. The Hateful Eight (2015)
The Hateful Eight appeared to become hateful to a lot of fans. We are not sure that that's what Quentin was hoping for adding the word 'hate' to the movie, but it is what it is.
Even though it was hella long, and probably it is one of the reasons why people couldn't sit through the whole movie, it's still one of Tarantino's movies with strong dialogues and memorable phrases.
5. Django Unchained (2012)
Tarantino's highest-grossing film ever, 5 Oscar nominations, and 2 winnings for Best Original Screenplay and Best Supporting Actor (Christoph Waltz), a meaningful plot idea, and strong dialogues.
Yet, it is disappointing when the movie drastically loses momentum around the two-hour mark.
4. Once Upon a Time In Hollywood (2019)
Yet the last Tarantino's movie, but for sure not the least. Two hours long praising of a bygone era that gives you boundless pleasure.
Pitt and DiCaprio's bromance, Robbie's alluring smile, and the plot that at the end makes you regret it never happened in real life — is just another level of cinematography.
3. Kill Bill Volume 1 (2003), Volume 2 (2004)
Do you remember when we said how much we loved to see badass females in Tarantino's movies? There she is: the baddest of the baddest Uma Thurman that gave us everything and more.
It's not just a film about revenge and blood. It's a freaking genius film about revenge and blood.
2. Inglourious Basterds (2009)
And even though Quentin intentionally made a mistake in a movie title, the movie itself was never even close to becoming one.
World War II-era comedy-drama, allowed us to see the alternative ending of significant events and gave us one of the greatest antagonists in cinematic history.
1. Pulp Fiction (1994)
There is this joke: once Tarantino got asked why he didn't film anything better than Pulp Fiction, Tarantino answered: 'And who did?'
Hands down the masterpiece, the chef kiss, and all the other synonyms above.
