OT: Let's talk about movies (and TV shows)... Part IX

[ChemiseBleuHonnete]

The coimax scene is an empathy test. Do you sympathize with her decision to leave the blonde guy behind? Some people do, some don't, it says more about them then the movie.

The same could be said about many movies, this is nothing novel.

 

[GoodKiwi]

To me there are only 3 QT movies. The rest doesn't matter because it's not good IMO.

Pulp Fiction
Reservoir Dogs
Jackie Brown

 

[Redux91]

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

THIs is the correct list, but id flip kill nill 1 and 2 tho

kill bill 2's scene at the end with Bill is just great to me, i just love his whole conversation

but whoever says django is unwatchable WOW, your spoiling two AMAZINg performances by leo and waltz

 

[Redux91]

True Romance should be in that list since Quentin wrote it.

LOVE true romance, even feels like quentin directed it, but he writes so freaking well that any director could of storyboarded it easily

i remember getting to near the end and going uhhh, so whats gonna happen when EVERYONE meets up in that hotel room...?

then i remembered.... tarantino wrote this...

it didnt disapoint lmao.

No, there are not many movies that pulled the same trick and allegory.

 

[QuebecPride]

Can't understand all the buzz around Mission Impossible... I mean, 4 stars in LaPresse? Some good visual effects but really, that storyline is in ''been there done that'' category.

I liked it personally. Certainly more than Ghost protocol. I can't see them milk the cow once more, but it was well worth the cinema ticket.

The Villain was great. The plot at times was predictable, but it still was interesting.

One thing tickled me off though. Very often they have foreign people speak in English, while there are no anglophones in the room. I understand it makes it less complicated for the viewers, but it's not realistic.

[SPOIL]I have high doubts Moroccans speak to each other in the Shakespeare language. Make it Arab or French, but make it realistic. [/SPOIL]

 

[Soltantgris]

True Romance should be in that list since Quentin wrote it.

Natural Born Killer too is from QT pencil. My own ranking would be :

Inglourious Basterds
Pulp Fiction
Kill Bill
Death Proof
Reservoir Dogs
Django
Jacky Brown
Kill Bill 2

 

[MXD]

Inglorious is definitely my favorite. Still, I'm not sure I would have liked it as much if Hans Landa would have been played by DiCaprio. I mean, I really like Leo, but Waltz as Landa has to be the most perfect non-obvious casting choice... That I can think of at least.

Well that and Henry Fonda in Once Upon A Time in thr West.

 

[deandebean]

Pulp Fiction is the best.

 

[Bryson]

Lol you guys are nuts. Django was awesome! Didn't it win all kinds of awards?

<3 QT

 

[HBDay]

speaking of excellent movies, has anyone watched "It Follows" yet? Do it.

 

[JuicyHam]

I watched this the other day. Really good movie. It was original. It is very hard for a horror movie to be original today.

 

[Guilliam]

1. Pulp Fiction
2. Reservoir Dogs
3. Inglorious Basterds
4. Jackie Brown
5. Django Unchained
6. Death Proof
7. Kill Bill 1
8. Kill Bill 2

That would pretty much be my list as well but I would flip Django and Inglorious Basterds. I might be tempted to put Reservoir Dogs in that #1 spot too...

The Kill Bills are easily his worst films.

Edit: Also, Christoph Waltz is awesome

 

[overlords]

Not sure it's so hard to be original. Few try to build an actual atmosphere, though, and rely on jumpscares. This is not horror, IMO.

It Follows was pretty good, I think Babadook is still the reigning recent horror champ, though.

Maika Monroe

 

[MasterDecoy]

Kill Bill is one of his worst.

Django is unwatchable.

Inglourious Basterds is his best along with Pulp Fiction.

It goes --

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

No offense obviously, but That is one crazy ass list man... Let's just say 'unusual'

Edit: ok, finished reading the thread, maybe I'm the weird one after all :laugh;

 

[Kriss E]

Really wanna see Straight outta compton

 

[Habsawce]

Four Rooms is being criminally underrated in here. For shame.

 

[Soltantgris]

Four Rooms is being criminally underrated in here. For shame.

It's a short, and From Dusk Till dawn is a half-movie from QT. I would put Four Rooms dead last, and FDSD not far from it.

 

[MasterDecoy]

Four Rooms is being criminally underrated in here. For shame.

It's not that good...

 

[DangerDave]

Edit: Also, Christoph Waltz is awesome

Too bad he's not in the new Tarantino movie. Was really hoping he would have a part in it.

 

[Brainiac]

Too bad he's not in the new Tarantino movie. Was really hoping he would have a part in it.

Nah... I'm fine if he's not there. Otherwise Tarantino would have given his character too much importance in the movie.

 

[Habsawce]

I liked Four Rooms. The final scene was good.

 

[Tabarouette]

Too bad he's not in the new Tarantino movie. Was really hoping he would have a part in it.

wouldn't surprise me that much to see him do an uncredited cameo in that movie, just like Matt Damon in Interstellar

 

[DAChampion]

That wasn't a cameo, it was an important role and commentary on NASA culture, and a foil to Cooper as well.

Mann (Matt Damon) waa about both how the loneliness of space can drive people insane, but aldo the danger of a common culture at NASA and associated parts, among people like Robert Zubrin, that of always putting the mission first, ahead of people.

I spoke to a friend who works on the engineering of human space fight. He said Damon was one of his favorite parts of the movie, because he is the perfect answer to the questions he gets from ignorant journalists at press conferences on a regular basis.
