What are your Top Five Quentin Tarantino movies?!
1. No
2. Mercy
3. For
4. Slave
5. Owners
1. Pulp Fiction
2. Inglorious Basterds
3. Django
4. Once upon a time in Hollywood

I love your shows but can you do 3 hour or 4 hour podcasts it would be great to hear more
1.) Pulp Fiction
2.) Inglourious Basterds
3.) Once Upon a Time in Hollywood
4.) Jackie Brown
5.) Reservoir Dogs
@Vincent H. You've got good taste, pal!
Am I hallucinating or did one of them actually just say tony scott is a better technical filmmaker than tarantino
I was thinning that too
Didnt fully agree with the Django takes and the uncomfortablenes. Especially when they immediately reveled in the fate of the nazis in Basterds. Just struck me as peculiar. Good lists tho.
Couldn’t agree more. Nazis are fun to see die but slave owners dying is uncomfortable? Yeah ok....
Yooo, I was listening to the podcast of this ...heard the Django take lead into the the Basterds take and immediately came here to protest... but the most surprising part ...is that I was surprised. Pop culture ignoring slavery, African American stories, a telling of America's history more true than most depictions..."it's the worst of all his movies" said the guy who also says "why aren't more people excited bout a star is born"
Fennesy, not surprising. Ryan and Concepcion...im glad I found out now rather than later.
P.S. Tarantino is the epitome of Goals for making Django. A movie that would've never have been made had he not done it.
Do the right thing
Django
Get out
3 essentials to the experience
As soon as i heard the takes about Django, i immediately came to make this comment. This would have been a good time to have the token black guy in the podcast to comment on the movie
Feeling too embarrassed/having too much white guilt to even discuss Django Unchained is peak-Ringer.
It's one of my qualms with their content sometimes - they're such coastal elite woke sjws on certain things that they don't realize how out of touch they truly are with the average person of color that they're purporting to speak for. (fyi guys - that's inherently racist and problematic, in and of itself)
Every person of color I know that saw Django Unchained loves that movie and advocates for it. Django's character is a symbol of empowerment, and the language and content in the movie that makes these guys uncomfortable are valuable depictions of history that can serve as stark reminders and teaching moments.
To just brush aside Django is so ridiculous.
Happy to see this commentary here. I’m just watching as was like “WOAH!” Do they not hear themselves?
My Top 5 Tarantino scenes
1 The O.D. and injection (PF)
2 Jules and Vincent's chit-chat and suitcase retrieval job (PF)
3 The deadly bar guessing game (IB)
4 The Bride vs the Crazy 88s (KB)
5 Worley Sr. and Don Coccotti interrogation (TR)
Bonuses
- Mr. Blonde's ear cutting (RD)
- the slo-mo walk of O-Ren Ishii and her entourage (KB)
- Calvin unmasking Django's true intention (DU)
- Jackie getting ahead of Ordell's plan of offing her (JB)
- O-Ren Ishii's origin story (KB)
The way Jason describes Jackie Brown legitimately gives me chills
Calm down
This Jason guy is brutal. Dropping Pulp Fiction to #3 for a woke reason. Ugh.
I really enjoy these discussions and lists and am a fan of the show, but the comments on Django are interesting to me. I understand people can have differing opinions and different ideas, but the idea that ending to Django is cheap or comes short is interesting. I always felt that Django was a superhero film, a coming of age/ revenge film for a folk super hero in the slave era. I think the uncomfortableness is necessary and it isn't as unwatchable in terms as grime as was described in this podcast. I think roughly 4 or 5 is a solid ranking for it to be last for Sean was interesting lol.
Joe I find the ending entertaining but just kind of lazy.
I love the ending
@@charleswoodsongoat1258 I kind of agree, but I also think there’s no other satisfying way to end that story.
The end just seems to drag on. He has this 15 minute shootout. Then he's captured, then he escapes, then another shootout
1:pulp fiction
2:reservoir dogs
3:once upon a time in Hollywood
4:inglorious basterds
5:Django unchained
1. Once Upon a Time in Hollywood
2. Pulp Fiction
3. Kill Bill
4. Inglorious Bastards
5. Django
6. Hateful 8
I'm a fan of all his movies, especially the dialogue. But Pulp Fiction is still #1 and the Bonnie Situation is my favorite part
The rick ross music was 100 percent necessary 😂
How can you possibly say that a Reservoir Dogs doesn't get made in 2019 as a good thing? A guy with no connections or advantages in life rises up to get noticed in the most competitive industry in the world writes and directs a movie that changes the landscape of cinema. Ya totally something 2019 couldn't handle.
There are a lot of movies from the 80s amd 90s that wouldn't have been made if the script had been passed around hollywood in the last decade. Simmons makes this take about his favorite action movie, 48 Hours.
@@deekay2494 48 hrs would never get made because of all the racial language Nolte's character. Not sure what the problem with reservoir dogs is.
1) Django Unchained
2) Inglourious Basterds
3) Pulp Fiction
4) Once Upon a Time in Hollywood
5) The Hateful Eight
If kill bill ain't in ur top 5, ur not having enough fun
1. Inglorious Basterds 2. Pulp 3. Reservoir Dogs 4. Django 5. Jackie Brown.
1. Jackie Brown
2. Once upon a time in Hollywood
3. Inglorious Basterds
4. Pulp Fiction
5. Reservoir Dogs
what made Reservoir Dogs great..?? wtf..??? lol
most great filmmakers, including Spielberg, Coppola, Scorsese..even Hitchcock didn't get to make their first GREAT film until they got to their 2nd..3rd..or even 10th movie.
Tarantino did it from the get go...Reservoir Dogs.
for me...Pulp Fiction didn't give me quite as big an impression as most other moviegoers BECAUSE I felt like I've gotten most of the new, fresh, groundbreaking stuff in that movie from Reservoir Dogs already.
1.) Pulp Fiction
2.) Django
3.) Reservoir Dogs
4.) KB V1
5.) Inglorious
Makes me so happy seeing people give jackie brown so much praise. i have always felt it was his best by a pretty big margin and easily his most underrated and misunderstood. One of my top 10 favourite films of all time and it feels so cool to see it finally acknowledged.
I’ve seen it the least of his movies (aka once) and liked it, but I distinctly remember that it didn’t feel as sharp as a typical Tarantino movie. Maybe that’s the influence of the book, or maybe he deliberately toned down his style, but I know I need to watch it again.
@@bencarlson4300 Elmore Leonard is definitely an influence on Tarantino's writing style as far as story goes... If QT dialed up Jackie Brown to his style level - then he should've just made a film with his own story. After Pulp - I think he did the right thing. If he would've gone with another hyper violent, hyper stylized story of his own - would the mainstream have turned on him like they love to do and say - oh QT is a one trick pony.
So a you're right without knowing you're right, he did deliberately tone down the QT with a more mellow, slower, less stylized story yet still with QT's eye behind the camera, a great choice for his 3rd film.
@@soundshape6496 I've seen it again and it's a very good movie. Not my favorite, but it showed his versatility, especially as a director.
I loveee Jackie brown. Def top 3 best movie of Quentin. The acting. The atmosphere. The actors. The music. The story. The plot. I won’t lie though. I was hurt when I found out it was from a book already written lol
1 Reservoir Dogs
2 Pulp Fiction
3 Once Upon a Time in Hollywood
4 Jackie Brown
5 Kill Bill (The Whole Bloody Affair)
I don't think most people talk like a Tarantino character, but I think we have all wished, perhaps in anger, we could talk that way in a given situation. By that I mean all the swearing and racial language. But we don't do that because we are civil and we give a damn about others. As much as we love many of the characters, they are often not civil people who don't give a damn about others. I think a lot of us sometimes fantasize about being an asshole. Especially those times when we have to deal with real assholes, and we wish we could just verbally demoralize them and then brutally kill them. But we're civilized, so we watch a Tarantino film instead.
1. Pulp Fiction
2. Kill Bill
3. Inglorious Basterds
4. Death Proof (yeah I said it!)
5. Reservoir Dogs
Top 5:
1- Django Unchained
2- Inglourious Bastards
3- Pulp Fiction
4- Reservoir Dogs
5- Hateful Eight
Honorable mention: Once Upon a Time In Hollywood and Jackie Brown.
Hateful8?kill bill is much better.
gopi nath Hell no! Hateful 8 is so underrated. When I first saw it, I also thought it wasn’t all that great but when I recently viewed it again. What Quentin did with that film was criminally under appreciated.
@@colepitt2184 Yeah have to watch it again.
I would love to see Quentin do a Star Trek movie
Fun Tarentino jam fellas! Yup yup, love that Jackie Brown got top #1 & #2 love on two of the lists. My faves...
Jackie Brown
Kill Bill Saga
Inglourious Basterds
Pulp Fiction
Reservoir Dogs
We'll see where Once Upon A Time in HWood ends up after some time has passed. I dug it.
*Nice pull with the QT Top Gun monologue from Sleep With Me! It did eventually bring about Gay Top Gun fanedits...and yeah From Dusk Till Dawn is great.
1 Inglourious Basterds
2 Pulp Fiction
3 Hateful 8
4 Once Upon A Time ...
5 Reservoir Dogs
Reservoir Dogs was made in a cafe and a warehouse. It was almost like a superbly written college project
Masterpiece.
It was very close to a stage play.
@@DrOz-007 exactly. It's all dialog and essentially in one room
IMO, still his very best movie.
"What if we had an alternate history where Tarantino was writing on everything coming out of Hollywood?"
The hubris it takes to think that Tarantino would be ashamed of a scene and go back and edit it is fucking astounding. He knew *exactly* what he was doing with the Jimmy scene and I guarantee he couldn't care less what a few woke dorks think about it.
Jackie Brown is such a hipster's choice.
It screams “I’m different look at me”.
Nah, it's a great choice. Love that movie, Jackie Brown & Kill Bill Saga are my #1 & #2 faves from QT.
How one has an indepth conversation about QT without addressing his outrageous thievery, not tribute paying and homages, nut brutal outright stealing the work of other filmmakers, scene for scene, line for line is pretty much beyond me. But in not addressing it, it leaves your entire conversation lopsided. Because SO MUCH of what QT has done is stolen. Why ignore it? QT doesn't have a single original thought in his head. And that is the primary reason his work isn't aging well. He's cobbled everything together. You can see the stitching. It's not fresh.

Based with Django no. 1
I've watched other people discussing Tarantino, and even discussing Basterdz specifically. Just like in this discussion, and many others, wanna know what no one brings up or celebrates? Shosanna Dreyfus. A little over half of that movie is all about her, and people barely remember her or her story. Even "expert commentators" don't bring her up. Literally half of the movie focuses on her! At any rate, that's why Basterdz isn't in my Top 5.
He didn’t cheat tho . He shot kill bill all at one time as ONE movie but the studio wanted to release it as 2 movies because of how long it was . So no he didn’t cheat . He wrote it and filmed it as one movie so it’s one movie to him
Where's Bill Simmons. Unwatchable without him.
The guy who laughs at himself constantly is annoying.
1.Bastards
2. Pulp
3. Django
4. Kill Bill Vol. 1
5. Revisor Dogs
I do not understand the awkwardness surrounding Django. I’m a history teacher, and I find Django to be one of the best portrayals of slavery in moves; other films do a better job though. It shows the harshness of it and that, in no way, is it romantic. I believe it should make the viewer feel uncomfortable and dirty, but I don’t think it should be pushed under the rug.
inglorious basterds is shit compared to pulp fiction and jackie brown.
1. Inglorious Basterds
2. Pulp Fiction
3. Reservoir Dogs
4. Kill Bill Vol. 1
5. Death Proof (yah that’s right fight me)
Imagine if after the 10 movies, Quentin went on to work with Rockstar designing video games a la Red Dead, GTA ........
no. RockstarGames are doing fine on their own. They don't need Tarantino. His ego will get in the way.
1. Pulp Fiction
2. Jackie Brown
3. Once Upon A Time In Hollywood
4. Resevoir Dogs
5. Inglorious Basterds
Jimmy's racist? wtf movie did you guys watch ? He's married to a black lady and hardly is using it as an epithet like Mr Pink in Res Dogs, Jimmy clearly is a guy who's respected by Marcelles Wallace and Jules enough to bring a dead body to his place and help them out so he gets to use the word with impunity. Worst part of this was when you can tell when politics intruded on their capacity to love a film.
You can still be racist even if you are married to a black person. Stop pretending that white slave masters were never infatuated with black women. That excuse doesn't work.
Context: Jimmy is pissed that his friend Jules has brought a dead body to his house and in retaliation uses racial epiphets to get under Jules' skin knowing Jules knows he messed up and has to accept the insults because he's at the mercy of Jimmy's hospitality.
1. Pulp Fiction

Hollywood is a bad movie
@@Lonewolf_665you wildn. Hollywood was amazing
52:47 Point Blank is one of my favorite films, but I never made the connection to Pulp Fiction
1) Pulp Fiction
2) Django Unchained
3) Kill Bill Volume 1

Chris Ryan likes Kools... the minty flavor
Any movie where Prime DeNiro is like 4th or 5th on the call sheet is a fucking masterpiece.

My favorites, not """the best"""
Trivia... the O.D scene with Lance and Vincent bringing Mia back to life with the syringe is actually taken from a real life story told in the documentary 'American Boy' (1978) Directed by.... Martin Scorsese.. it is a conversation with Scorsese's friend Steven Prince who was cast as a gun dealer in Taxi Driver. During the early 90's QT stated Taxi Driver among his top 3 all time favorite films, and he is obviously inspired by Martin Scorsese and Brian DePalma (especially Blow Out starring John Travolta, and Scarface.) He must have got his hands on a copy of the documentary 'American Boy' during his days working at the video store. It is available to watch on youtube if you search for it.
For me....1. Reservoir Dog
2. Pulp Fiction
3. Kill Bill V 1,
4. Jackie Brown
5. Death Proof/Inglorious Bastards
I'd love to see Quentin adapt Louis L'Amour. We've seen how well he does Adaptations with Jackie Brown and how much he respect those pulp Westerns in his last 3 films. Why not?
1. Pulp Fiction
2. True Romance
3. Django
4. Inglorious basterds
5. Reservoir Dogs
Jackie Brown
Once Upon a Time in Hollywood
Pulp Fiction
Inglorious Basterds
Resevoir Dogs
1. Inglourious Basterds
2. Once Upon a Time... in Hollywood
3. Pulp Ficiton
Haven’t seen Kill Bill, Jackie Brown, or Death Proof, and not a big fan of the rest of his film. Love those 3 though, and Inglourious Basterds is in my top 3 all time
I have only seen 5. So I will rank them I guess (I love them all)
5. The Hateful Eight
4. Pulp Fiction
3. Resevoir Dogs
2. Once Upon a Time... in Hollywood
1. Inglourious Basterds
Pulp Fiction
Django
Inglorious Bastards
Reservoir Dogs
Once Upon...
the Jimmy scene woulda worked better with a much better actor.
AND...that character didn't really need to be a white guy... I got the effect QT was tryinna pull..but, it coulda also worked with an Asian..Latino..or hey, get this...a BLACK GUY.
I don't disagree with their lists but I am shocked by how little love Grindhouse and Hateful 8 got.
I liked hateful 8 but I think it’s much harder to enjoy and doesn’t have as much to say as most of his other films
Grindhouse is trashy fun. It doesn't deserve that much love.
It's because those 2 are his weakest film.
Hateful 8 and Death Proof are his 2 Worst Films
Why are you shocked? They weren't as successful/popular/critically acclaimed as the rest. I really enjoy Hateful eight but most of his other movies are masterpieces.
Kill Bill: The Whole Bloody Affair
Pulp Fiction
Inglourious Basterds
Django Unchained
Once Upon A Time In Hollywood
(Ask me tomorrow, it will probably change.)
1) Inglorious Basterds
2) KBV2
3)KBV1
4) Django Unchained
5) Pulp Fiction
It's like you went with his 5 worst, except 1 & 5 instead of Hateful Eight or Deathproof.
VERY questionable takes on Django here lol. being uncomfortable during that film but loving nazis dying in Inglorious Basterds? 🤔
I liked this. Django is one of my favorites is a fun bang em up revenge story that is just fun. Django is a hero and it's an uplifting story
My top 5
1. Once upon a time in Hollywood
2. Pulp fiction
3. Django
4. KB1
5. Inglorious
I honestly thought Brad Pitt was shit in Bastards. I didn‘t believe him for 1 second. He was miscasted for this role.
… and Till Schweiger is a total joke. He s THE corny cringe actor/director in german cinema. This will always go down as the Tarantino movie with Till Schweiger in it hahaha
Of Christoph Walz put on a performance for the history books. Up until this year i had only watched the german overdubbed version, so it was quite a surprise when i realized, the amount of non-english dialogue in the movie. Gotta give Tarantino an awful lot of credit for the balls to do that
1. Pulp Fiction
2. Kill Bill 1 & 2
4. Reservoir Dogs
5. Django
These guys kill me trying to legislate what would or wouldn’t be politically correct in 2019. Who gives a fuck? They’re fucking movies.
Pulp fiction
Django
Jackie brown
Kill bill 1&2
Inglorious basterds
Imo reservoir dogs is unenjoyable. His only one imo
Pulp fiction below Jackie Brown and True Romance in the top 5 QT movies? And you call yourself fans😂
Also, here some mistakes you made:
1:00:02 - QT did not cast himself in Dusk, it‘s not his movie. He was asked by Rodriguez.
Also Jimmy is not a racist character. He used the N word but also Bonnie herself is a black woman. QT went to black schools and had a black father figure. He is one of these white guys who want to say n***a to be part of the culture.
Django being Sean's least favorite movie says a lot about him
Says he knows it's a lame movie.
1. Pulp Fiction
2. Jackie Brown
3. Reservoir Dogs
4. Inglorious Basterds
5. Kill Bill 1 and 2
Basterds is the dudes worst film imo surprised it gets so much love. That being said it is the definition of Simmons rewatchables. Only because that IS taratino’s apex mountain. He had clout as a writer always did but this gave him recognition en masse. It is also his take on a period piece dude; come on guys.
It's so fucking weird how sensitive these guys django makes them uncomfortable jimmy in pulp makes them uncomfortable like Jesus these guys and their freaking this hasn't aged bs takes ugh its unbelievably frustrating
1. Pulp Fiction
2. Reservoir Dogs
T3. Jackie Brown
T3. Kill Bill
T5. Django Unchained
T5. Inglorious Basterds
1.Inglorious basterds
2.Kill Bill 1 & 2
3.Django
4.Jackie Brown
5.Once Upon A Time In Hollywood
Sean goes off the rails too often and almost tries to prove hes the smartest guy in the room
Trying to find problems in this is ridiculous
Just an abominable Django take from the entire group. Not to mention an equally embarrassing Sergio Leone take that went unchecked. Like, how did someone in the making of this not lose their job? I continue to listen to the Big Picture twice a week but the western takes from this episode will sporadically revisit me every month or so.
Agree pulp fiction probly top, but also agree with simmons about brucewillis girlfriend. If she cant remember his most valued possession, well, does she really like him?
Dudes, if you’re doing a top 5, try not to reveal what’s on your list before you get to it?! Small criticism, but something to think about for next time a list episode comes up.
1.Pulp Fiction
2.Django
3.Reservoir Dogs
4.Kill Bill Vol.1
5.Jackie Brown
When Leo in Django swipes his blood on Kerry Washington face that was not scripted that was real blood . Whew can you imagine
How about a Quentin Tarantino remake of "Blazing Saddles??!!"
I did not see the big deal in DiCaprio performance in Django. Seemed a bit shallow to me. He is an overhyped actor. Lacks the depth of a De Niro or Keitel
Tarantino ain't from the Valley. He's from the South Bay,
1 reservoir dogs
2 pulp
3 Jackie brown
4 basterds
5 Django
Lots of sex in Tarantino movies??? Yeah, I dont think so. He famously has little sex in his movies.
1. Inglorious
2. Pulp
3. OUATIH
4. Kill Bill vol.2
5. Django
Kill Bill is roundly hated by all Asian martial artists. Mafia Yakuza and No one had a gun ? She walked on a plane with a samurai sword?
Total fantasy but brilliant
50:55
I didn’t agree with their take on Django - I think it’s a great film that reimagines an enslaved person getting revenge . There are very few in any depiction of enslaved people getting revenge in cinema . I saw it in theaters and folks were 🙌🙌🙌
It’s hard to listen and watch three dudes who aren’t black say django is a bad because of the the slavery and racism but you loved the rich, racist white dude because Leo did such a great job playing him
Any list that doesn't include Pulp Fiction and Reservoir Dogs in the 1 & 2 slots is invalid.
Hateful/Django
Jackie
Pulp
Killl 2
Bastards
The Bonnie Situation is my favorite sequence in Pulp Fiction you dummies
Spike Lee directing Jackie Brown would have been interesting
I had this video on with no pictures, listening while doing something else. I honestly thought the guy in the hat was an old Jewish woman.
I bet he takes the worst or ugliest character, because he wants it really ugly over the top. Also if he gives it to an actor they won’t want to take it that far for fear of getting labeled.
My list
1. Pulp Fiction
2. Inglorious Basterds
3. Kill Bill 1 & 2
4. Reservoir Dogs
5. Django Unchained
My Top 5 QT Characters
1 Jules Winfield (SLJ - Pulp Fiction)
2 Ordell Robbie (SLJ - Jackie Brown)
3 Hans Landa (Christoph Waltz - Inglorious Basterds)
4 Calvin Candie (Leo DiCaprio - Django Unchained)
5 Cliff Booth (Leo DiCaprio - Once Upon a Time in Hollywood)
Cliff was played by Pitt. Rick Dalton was Leo’s character
@@Jrmoreland oopsie..!!
The justified rage that they LOVED in Inglorious Basterds, is the EXACT same "overkill rage" in Django.
It's interesting that these 3 smart men didn't make the connection.
The end of Django is a shootout.
The end of Basterds is a movie theatre filled with explosive film being burned down while guys with dynamite strapped to their legs shoot down on unarmed nazis then unload in hitlers face close up…that’s overkill lol
I mean, it’s how it’s done. The violence in Django is very in your face and held out for a long time. Other than the hitler close ups as he’s getting gunned down, the violence is a bit more at a distance than the Django shootout… I think that’s the difference. Not to mention the meta element of basterds ending being a bunch of people in a cinema enjoying nazi violence on screen (which the average audience member is seething at) only to subvert it: we become the same audience cheering for the violence done to the nazis that the nazis were ten mins before watching the nazi propaganda film within the film. There were more levels to it and it had a bit more balance I think. *Though ultimately I disagree, I didn’t personally see Django as overkill per say, I saw it as Tarantino having fun with the ending. A little indulgent at points but not overkill.
