    1. Pulp Fiction: Perfection
    2. Reservoir Dogs: he did so much with so little, and I love the idea of a heist movie that doesn’t show the heist
    3. Inglorious Basterds: Beautifully cast, and Tarantino’s first collaboration with Christopher Waltz is just amazing. Plus that scene in the bar keeps you on edge for an unimaginably long time before letting the shit hit the fan.
    4. Kill Bill (1+2): just an amazing soundtrack and he perfectly captures the essence of both samurai films and revenge films.
    5. Django Unchained: somehow perfectly fuses blaxploitation and westerns. Plus, more Christopher Waltz
    6. Jackie Brown: the least “Tarantino” of the Tarantino films, but still a pretty good flick.
    7. Once Upon A Time In Hollywood: pretty good and I love when Tarantino rewrites history, but I don’t generally like Hollywood movies about Hollywood as they usually feel a little too much like a circle-jerk.
    8. Death Proof: I like it for what it is, but it’s not really a feature-length Tarantino movie, so it doesn’t really scratch the itch.
    9. Hateful Eight: I grew up on Westerns and love Tarantino, so I really wanted to love this one, but it wasn’t really very good. The premise of closed-room Western is fascinating and it was almost great, but the last third/quarter was a huge letdown
