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. Once Upon a Time in Hollywood
2. Pulp Fiction
3. Kill Bill
4. Inglorious Bastards
5. Django
6. Hateful 8
The ending of Django is real & incredible.
1:pulp fiction
2:reservoir dogs
3:once upon a time in Hollywood
4:inglorious basterds
5:Django unchained
Woah my top 5 is that exact 5 movies but exactly flipped lol
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?
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
1. pulp
2. Basterds
3. Jackie
4. Dogs
5. django
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.
1.) Pulp Fiction
2.) Django
3.) Reservoir Dogs
4.) KB V1
5.) Inglorious
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
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.
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
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.

@@Jrmoreland oopsie..!!
If kill bill ain't in ur top 5, ur not having enough fun
1. Pulp Fiction
2. Inglorious Bastards
3. Once Upon A Time In...Hollywood
4. Reservoir Dogs
5. Jackie Brown
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.
Denis Menochet in the opening scene of Inglorious Basterds is a gift. I never knew him before.
Bridget Fonda - in the parking lot with Deniro is something else …. Because you sympathize with the character Lewis
I would love to see Quentin do a Star Trek movie
1)Basterds
2)Pulp Fiction
3)Django
4)Hateful Eight
5)Kill Bill vol 2
1. Django

5. The Hateful Eight
This list >>>
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)
Any movie where Prime DeNiro is like 4th or 5th on the call sheet is a fucking masterpiece.
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
IMO
1. Kill Bill Vol 1 & 2
2. Django Unchained
3. Reservoir Dogs
4. Inglorious Bastards
5. Pulp Fiction
There’s no more touching moment in cinema than when Django says, “it’s me baby”
My list
1. Pulp Fiction
2. Inglorious Basterds
3. Kill Bill 1 & 2
4. Reservoir Dogs
5. Django Unchained
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
Real shit, Tarantino's performance in From Dusk Til Dawn was astonishing. I mean, Quentin hung in there with Harvey Keitel. No joke. It was a fucking GREAT movie... until the zombies showed up... but the first half was top-notch terrifying!
Gentlemen, I enjoyed your debate as much as several of the movies (we English say "Films"). My favs - R Dogs - Pulp Fiction - Jackie Brown -- BTW my favourite scene was Jimmy talking to Mr White about his aunt Ginny
the little corner store next door had a shelf of movie rentals. just a handful of whatever. for some reason True Romance was always there. I didn't like Christian Slater so I never bothered with it. one night I got it and loved it. especially the dialogue. written by Quentin Tarantino. a bit later a bunch of us went to a movie but didn't know what to watch. came across the poster for Pulp Fiction written and directed by Quentin Tarantino. that's the dude who wrote True Romance, let's see this. knew nothing about it. best movie going experience of my life. hooked since
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.
Quentin has always been saying something meta textual. Some of the ideas are more oblique than others, but there’s always something there.
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.

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?
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

If we're listing everything he's involved in (script only / script & directing)
Pulp Fiction - what is there to say that hasn't been said? a different scene becomes my fav scene, a different line becomes my fav line, shot, framing... becomes my fav after each viewing. Shit - just realized you can see Vincent Vega twice (out of focus but still) twice in opening scene in diner.
Once Upon a Time in Hollywood - his love for hollywood, california; cinema; tv series; actors & actresses, directors... everything in this film is treated with so much love for all of things he truly cares about... his love letter to the last of a dying period of time - hollywood: when film and commerce were at it's tail end of marital bliss, on the very beginning of the other side even... the other side being commerce THEN film... his style brought to that period of hollywood is incredible. his dialogue brought to that period of hollywood is incredible. Brad Pitt - a return to QT universe (True Romance & Basterds) and Leo - a second go, this time as lead... in a buddy film? So cool.
The wardrobes? The makeover given to hollywood blvd? Al Pacino? The love shown to Sergio Corbucci? The one use of CGI (adding Leo to The Great Escape? (so fucking awesome lololol.) Margot Robbie? She's one of the sexiest women on the planet as evidence by Wolf of Wall Street and then while still sexy in OUATIH, she's more beautiful than sexy... the way he lit her in scenes, the way he framed her... while she's not in a lot of the movie - when she's on screen she radiates (which she does by herself) and QT just tries to showcase that for the viewer while also putting Sharon Tate on the radar for a younger generation.
Kill Bill: The Whole Bloody Affair (Kill Bill 1, like Sean who I believe is my age... he may be a year older than me actually... said something I completely agree with: Kill Bill 1 is one of my favorite movie going experiences of all time. Saw it opening night with my best friend who was also a QT head like me. As friends, our favorite activity to do together was go see movies. I have Kill Bill in top 3 because when I watch it... I watch both of them together as one long epic 4 hour film. I think it ultimately works better despite its length as one film because the MAX levels of the Kill Bill sliders turned down from MAX QT to Spaghetti Western QT half way through the movie is pho-cking brilliant to me.)
Inglorious Basterds - the opening scene might be my favorite scene with QT dialogue. Hans Landa might be my fav QT character of all time. Could watch an entire film of Landa as a hunter tracking down people for the SS. Brad Pitt is so charismatic on film... he is so goddamn believable as a LEADER of a crew. He's believable as leader of a Nazi hunting outfit of soldiers... he's believable as leader of a crew of just cool people (Ocean's films... jam packed with cool actors playing cool... he's just the absolute epitome of COOL - even cooler than Clooney imo.) Mike Myers cameo? QT first toe dip into historical re-writing. After flipping Vic Vega to Vincent Vega since Madsen passed on it... Vincent Vega is an example of expanding the QT universe. Django (because of time period) is where the universe gets expanded the most as far as TIME... (Captain Coons in PF is a descendant of Crazy Craig Coons, a bounty in Django). Relationship expansion also occurs in Hateful 8 and Basterds.

When Leo in Django swipes his blood on Kerry Washington face that was not scripted that was real blood . Whew can you imagine
I appreciate finally someone acknowledging the brilliance of Jackie Brown!!! Sean and Jason had me crying w/the whole parking lot scene and then the Sam Jackson explanation, funny! And Jason's analysis of the film is spot on! I knew the film's premise but, his articulation even made me think about it on an even deeper level. I agree people may put this film at or near the bottom because it lacks the razzle dazzle of some of his other films. And, I'm w/Chris on Django, my favorite Tarantino movie. The subject matter is tough for some but that's why I like it. It's honest about the horrors of slavery but, it's clever enough to do it w/humor. My top three Tarantino films are Django, Pulp Fiction and Jackie Brown and I appreciate your insightful opinions. P.S. I have to watch you guys talk about Jackie Brown again, that was some of the funniest sh*t ever!
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.

I thought Django was just brilliant. Though probably Quentin's worst cameo and the shoot out was a bit over the top. Though I did love it. However, Pulp Fiction is just brilliant and is head an shoulders above all his other films. I think it is fair he classes Kill Bill as one film as that is how he shot it and only split into 2 because Miramax told him he had to do it. Hence I have classed as one film as well ;)

no. RockstarGames are doing fine on their own. They don't need Tarantino. His ego will get in the way.

Shoutout to Tarantino's "Alias" episodes
DJANGO ending is BRILLIANT. Full stop
Nah
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.
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.
How about a Quentin Tarantino remake of "Blazing Saddles??!!"

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.

I haven't even seem all QT films (yet) but True Romance has been my favorite movie since I walked our of the theater in the 90's. Pulp Fiction is on the top five list as well.
The scene with Dennis Hopper and Christopher Walken from True Romance is still an all timer!
True Romance is a Tony Scott film. Tarantino wrote the screenplay, but Scott was director and made significant changes. The ending being somewhat happy for example. You're right, it's a brilliant film, but it gets disqualified on that basis.
