Don't you hate that? The bottom of UA-cam video descriptions. Why do we feel it’s necessary to yak about bullshit in order to fill up UA-cam video descriptions?

Your hatred for Kill Bill is blasphemous
He’s based for sute
For real. What a schmuck.
Yeah nah disagree heavy with his take
Agreed
No its not....its actually quite fair... still think deathproof is worse.... and maybe jackie brown and django should be higher...but yeah...kill bill...a bit bad actually...
This is one of the wildest takes I've ever heard on Kill Bill from a Tarantino fan.
I don't think you can really call him a fan
My views on the 2 films are in reverse. Part 2 bored me to death. Outside of the fight in the trailer w/ Uma and Daryl Hannah and the "Superman" Monologe by Bill at rhe end it did nothing for me. Part 1 I liked a lot. Yea, it's basically empty calories but it's a lot of fun to watch
Folks I think he ranked kill bill last on purpose as a distraction, so we won't pay attention to the fact that he ranked Jackie Brown higher than Django. Genius.
Jackie Brown is a better film then Django......
@@myronsanders4563agreed
As a Tarantino worshipper let me defend Landa's character a bit. It makes sense for Landa to decide to make a deal with the U.S. and turn himself in. He's just an opportunist. I feel as if he's only a Nazi officer because that was the job that would net him the most power. The guy believes in nothing but himself, he's a fraud. The only thing he probably truly has in common with Nazis is that he's evil as shit. I expect he isn't as nationalistic as most SS officers. I don't think its out of character for him to betray the Reich on such a whim. He tells the French farmer that he loves his "Jew Hunter" moniker, but tells Aldo Raine with contempt that it's "just a name that stuck".
He only wants power and recognition and does not seem to care all that much from which world power he receives it from, be it Germany or the United States. I think he's smart enough to realize that Germany would not end up winning the Second World War and decides to take the opportunity to end the war for the U.S. and let himself be lauded as an Allied hero. It's his insane hubris that makes him seem kind of foolish to think he'd get away from Aldo scott-free. He was being silly to believe Aldo would accept his surrender unconditionally, even if the U.S. General told him to do so. Still, I think it's a decision that makes sense for his character.
Okay, fair enough, I guess I just don't see sufficient evidence for the characterisation you're talking about. You seem to be assuming stuff about Landa instead of the film showing these things. But I'm willing to accept I'm wrong on this as most people think he is an all-time movie villain. I'll give the film another go in the near-future. Thanks for the comment :)
Yes most of what I said are inferences.@@thecozykinoshow Thanks for the video. Once Upon a Time in Hollywood... is sneakily becoming my favorite Tarantino. Gets better every viewing.
@@thecozykinoshow Anyone in his position who wasn't blinded by ideology could see that Germany couldn't possibly stop the Soviet Union by that point in the war. I think you can use Landa's changing position on his "Jew Hunter" nickname as (weak) evidence of his opportunism. That being said, the reason he's considered a great villain is because of Waltz's portrayal, not the writing.
@@thecozykinoshow Just to add another lens this scene can be viewed from. During the final days of the war, the US did a lot to pretty much smuggle high ranking Nazis in an effort to get a leg up on the coming conflict with the Russians. Operation Paperclip is the best example of these efforts. So when I first viewed the scene, much like Lakim, I thought this was just Landa acting in self preservation and Raine rejecting Landa his happy ending. Landa never would have dreamed Raine would have the audacity to brand him.
At least thats my take. Great vid.
What about Operation Paperclip desu?
Video starts at 16:30. Everything before that are just strange words I can't understand over awesome kill bill clips.
lmaoo fair enough
@@thecozykinoshow good video tho no jk
I honestly don’t think Inglorious bastards holds up very well as a whole. Specific scenes are brilliant but by the time the theater scene rolls around it kind of falls apart.
As a kid I skipped Jackie Brown because it wasn’t as hyped. I watched it for the first time about 10 years ago and was blown away by how good it was. Definitely his most underrated film. I love telling people who haven’t seen it to go and watch it straight away. They always send me a text afterwards.
Hans doesn't 'surrender' in Basterds, he thinks he can leverage the situation to cash out just at the right moment as the Reich falls to gain the most in the deal. It ties in perfectly with his character thinking that he is always the cleverest man in the room who always outsmarts his opponents. Perfectly summed up in his line 'Let's make a deal'.
Even though he has studied the Basterds and knows how they mark people his ego thinks he is above that, being very German and believing in the hierarchy of leadership ie Aldo's General gave an order so it will be followed.
Just sucked for him Aldo has been chewed out before and thinks it's worth it.
Yes, I agree with you. The Landa character is one of extreme arrogance. A psychopathic narcissist would believe that he is so clever and in control, that he could waltz out with complete immunity and safety. He operated for so long with everyone around him in total terror of his every whim and mood, that he could not grasp the willingness of anyone else being willing to disregard a general's orders and slice him up because of their complete and utter contempt of him. Also, when he included the Bastards in the negotiations for some token benefit, he would think that the Bastards would be appreciative and that he would be arrogant enough to believe that such would keep him safe.
As a Big Tarantino fan, it was interesting to hear your opinions on his filmography. While I didn’t agree with some of your takes I totally understand where you came from and that made me think of them in a different way. Very well done video!
how do you only have 2000 subs? your writing, editing and voice work are spot on. keep up the good work and you'll be crushing it in no time!
Probably because he has really bad takes that he tries to mask as him being extra clever when really he probably because he has really bad takes that he tries to mask as him being extra clever
great video, I disagree with a lot of the positions but yeah man, along with ur PTA video I've been liking this channel a lot
Some other movies that reveal the ending (or its aftermath) in the opening scene:
Citizen Kane
Fight Club
Portrait of a Lady on Fire
Saving Private Ryan
Sunset Boulevard
In literature, Romeo and Juliet begins with a prologue that tells us the "star-crossed" lovers will die, ending the feud between their parents' families. The most famous episodes in Homer's Odyssey take place in a 4-book-long flashback narrated by Odysseus himself, whom we know will survive while all his men will die. The Great Gatsby is one of a jillion classic novels narrated retrospectively that begin with a glimpse into the narrator's life and attitude after the story's events.
I guess a lot of writers share Tarantino's nihilistic streak and deliberately ruin their own stories.
I was yelling at the screen when he started making that argument 😢
I mean these stories are quite different from each other and just cause writers particularly use this method doesn't mean it's good
Troupes themselves are these
I mean just cause a large number of writers do them doesn't mean they're good.
I mean tropes themselves are by product of these and they are very much heavily disliked tropes
And also these stories are very much different from each other not to mention that these reveals add to their movies and are meant to be a sacrifice of tension for thematic reasons.plus,some of these are so hard for the audience to read for the audience because of their complex plotlines and as for kill bill it is a revenge story so no matter how non linearly the story is told,you can't really go up
Plus whatever thematic idea killbill had conjured up,you could only really reap its benefits from the second part.which is why the split movies aspect always intrigued me because it could have worked well for the story thematically but the already messy structure would have been even more diluted and it would be like seeing two entirely different movies with the tonal shift.
Jackie Brown remains QT's most slept on film
I thought your analysis was spot on. Thanks for inspiring me to watch a couple of Tarantino films I never got around to.
The kill bill rants should be classified as hate crimes
good video! disagree with the ranking, but your analysis is pretty thorough :) congrats! hope the channel does well!
Reservoir Dogs is always my favorite.
10. The hateful eight (The Thing is my favourite movie and this movie feels like a blind person tried to copy Carpenters homework) 4/10
9. Once upon a time in Hollywood (overindulgent, doesnt offer proper resolve rather than spectacle) 6/10
8. Kill Bill volume 2 7/10
7. Death Proof 7/10
6. Jackie Brown 7.5/10
5. Inglorious basterds 8.5/10
4. Kill Bill volume 1 8.5/10
3. Reservoir Dogs 9/10
2. Pulp Fiction 10/10
1. Django Unchained 10/10 (for me it was the most emotionally resonant)
good to hear someone else actually loved The Hateful Eight, which is my favorite Tarantino movie
Kill Bill Vol 1 is my favorite Tarantino movie, but it was really interesting hearing why someone didn’t like it. I’ll definitely have to rewatch it with these criticisms in mind
Once upon a time in Hollywood is my fav of his. I watched it 11 times in 11 days once everyday just smoking weed and drinking and stuff never got bored of it was obsessed with it despite its faults I love it.
Great video and interesting list - I think given you might love jackie brown more than you realise - you spoke about it with so much love despite its middling ranking. Love the reservoir dogs recognition, a perfect film
Maybe on a different day I would swap Jackie Brown and Basterds around, they were definitely the two spots I mulled over the most. I guess I just feel like Basterds is technically superior and more important in Tarantino’s career.
Mad Max Fury Road is operating on the same level of depth as Kill Bill 1. I'm not the person who came up with this observation but it has the depth of a road runner cartoon.
Fury road is miles better
That's the point of the comparison? I'm not crazy about Fury Road, but it's not sarcastic trash...
Kill Bill is intentionally shit in a way you can't even enjoy it ironically like you could some bootlegged D-grade HK flick from the 80s you found on VHS at a flea market 30 years ago.
@@onylra6265I doubt tarantino made a film that was intentionally shit.he clearly puts a lot of effort into the colour scheme and lighting.i don't think the film is shallow,it definitely fumbles the revenge driven mess b becomes aspect of the film but I do think it is drawn out to the audience atleast in the end and certain things tarantino does does with her character does show us that.
I think it's more or so the conflicting genre and theme of the movie that muddied the water of the idea
With Priscilla coming out, I'd love to see a Sofia Coppola best to worst next?
(1) Lost in Translation
(2) her other stuff
Hans was smart enough to see the changing tides with the regime, so he decided to cut loose there and take this easy opportunity to bail out before it all came crashing down.
1. Kill Bill A+ - I get not being a big fan but I love the movie so much and it's so damn entertaining. I rewatch it all the time and I love how crazy and overblown it is. However it's also a great exploration of Vengeance. And yes I think it's better than Mad Max Fury Road. And I prefer to view the 2 volumes as one film.
2. Pulp Fiction A+
3. Django Unchained A+
4. Reservoir Dogs A
5. Inglorious Bastards A
6. Once Upon A Time In Hollywood B
7. The Hateful Eight B
8. Death Proof B
9. Jackie Brown C-
hateful eight and jackie brown are top 5
Im pleased with your listening, probably would of swapped 9 & 10 around but hey ho? Just great to see someone appreciate Tarantino's greats being higher on a list, except for the obvious, the hateful 8 and Jackie brown are always underrated in most peoples lists. Exceptionally great editing and really enjoyable list. Thanking you kindly
I loved the video.
Your analysis prompted me to reconsider my thoughts about some of the films.
Some of the rankings we saw eye to eye on. A couple of them, we certainly did not. Here was my ranking before listening to your presentation.
(note: I didn’t initially include Death Proof. As I recall, Tarantino doesn’t consider this one of his catalog of films.)
10. Kill Bill 1
9. Hateful Eight
8. Death Proof
7. Kill Bill 2
6. Reservoir Dogs
5. Jackie Brown
4. Inglourious Basterds
3. Once upon a time in Hollywood
2. Django Unchained
1. Pulp Fiction
I also thought I was the only person who didn’t care for Kill Bill
Not the only one
How can you not like kill The fucks wrong with you?
Finally someone with a sober view on Kill Bill. Nice list
Agree with this ranking. I remember feeling alone when Kill Bll 1 came out and everyone was loving it. Also it is very true that Tarantin'os films are worth less than the sum of their parts. And it remains true for his best ones, like reservoir Dogs and Pulp Fiction.
I really really enjoyed this ranking. First off, finally someone who dislikes the Kill Bill movies as much as I do. You will get a lot of flack for it, but I agree with every word. And second, you managed to express why I love Once Upon A Time In Holywood as much as I do a lot better than I would be able to. I will go as far as to say it's my all time favorite feel good movie for the very reasons you mentioned
enjoyable video! i disagree with a lot of your negative points, but i do appreciate Reservoir Dogs being so high
I'm not a big fan of Basterds but that film intro is top shelf stuff! Probably one of the best intros of all time.
I also find the end of Inglorious Basterds to be possibly comparable to No Country for Old Men, but in a good way. Landa and Anton have a similar almost unknown outlook. They don’t have normal villainous morals or principles. Landa doesn’t really believe any of the Nazi crap, he just wants to manipulate people and survive with excess. That’s how I see it at least.
Landa is a cat, who wants to eat, but prefers toying with the prey before he kills. The playing and toying is the goal. He enjoys the emotional torture.
Two movies I never want to watch again.
why@@fuckgoogle8661
I saw Reservoir Dogs at the cinema when it came out.... and I am so with you on Kill Bill - SO with you. He's better than a bloody cartoony exploitation flick. And you sum that up beautifully. I was fully prepared for this list to culminate in Kill Bill, or Inglorious Basterds, or Once Upon a Time... to be top - but to see what I think remain the greatest Tarantino films in your top 2 is extremely encouraging. Given that you sound pretty young. And you are bang on. Reservoir Dogs and Pulp Fiction are absolutely him at the peak of his powers. Before he started to believe his own hype, and get more and more indulgent. They are lean, fresh, visceral, funny, and human.
NO ONE talks about Jennifer Jason Leighs performance in the Hateful Eight. One of my favorite and most meorable cinema performances for me personally.
Kill Bill is better than Mad Max Fury. There
I’m the 2,240th person to rant about your Kill Bill ranking! Where’s my free cake?! 🍰🎉🎊🥂
my ranking is:
9 Jackie Brown
8 Once Upon A Time In Hollywood
7 reserve dogs
6 kill bill 1.2 (I like it lol)
5 django
4 The Hateful Eight
3 death proof
2 pulp fiction
1 inglorious bastards
The first two were very difficult, but today I chose inglorious bastards
Worst list I’ve ever seen
I also agree with your Django Take, should’ve been 30 minutes shorter
Quentin's most trusted ally and massive contributor to his visual style, his editor Sally Menke passed away just before Django which is why the editing feels weird and not as tight. It's like he didn't know what to do without her. Coming from his previous films and very familiar with is style this felt very jarring in the theater however thanks to the superb acting has won me over since then.
Hateful is garbage.
😂 glad I’m not the only one who found myself wondering if he really thought out his inclusion of the Shosanna/the ending of Basterds…the ending did not NEED to include the basterds at all, but naturally he had to insert them somehow was his thought process I think lol
I always viewed kill bill as a domestic dispute viewed through a kung fu/assassin lens. Partners who have a disagreement on how they view their relationship. B did not want to her daughter in the lifestyle Bill and her led. I do agree QT was at an impasse after Jackie Brown. But he’s always made genre films. Kill Bill was never a big shock to me. It felt like a reset after his crime films of the 90’s.
It's interesting to me how few films Tarantino has made in the thirty-two years since Reservoir Dogs. Compare his output to that of, say, Scorsese or Spielberg, and just seems to me there should more to his filmography. I also wholeheartedly agree with your assessment of the Kill Bills.
Great vid! I disagree with some of your takes but enjoy your thoughtful explanations
I actually agreee in your kill Bill take. All killer no filler. It lack the likeable characters and fun interactions that his other films had

6. The Hateful Eight
5. Kill Bill
4. Pulp Fiction

1. Django Unchained
Hans Landa is perhaps the most realistic villain by Tarantino. I think a deep understanding of fascism as an individual's ideology is well explained by Tarantino through Landa. A meticulous, well educated, intelligent man who otherwise uses rational thought and scientific temper, also has a diseased intellectual elitism which crescendos to a severe fear of the undeciphered masses. Its the nightmare of the attack on the Bastille that all elites have. Fascism for such a man is not a stubborn but a negotiated ideology of self-preservation against the hoi polloi. The inherent fear and cowardice of intellectual elites (a.k.a. movie critics?) is brought to the fore by Landa's capitulation. It is a metaphor for the inevitable demise of fascism in a brave, rational world. And it is historically correct as well. Goebbels did not believe in fascism either, but knew how to spread it through lies and propaganda. So also, numerous Generals and Colonels of Nazi Germany, had become self preservationist after the Russian blunder (where the masses of the workers' army brought the Nazis to their knees).
Oooh the venom.
How DARE you, sir!!!😂
You address many of the incongruencies in Tarantino films that most of his fans will dismiss, deny, avoid....
Most of us feel these missteps but are so hopped up on the hyper-violent adrenaline, visually stunning set pieces, nostalgic soundtracks and spiffy dialogue, that the uneven pacing, structure and holes in the story are barely noticeable.
Inglorious basterds at 5 is insane
Ha! I agree with you on all of them except for Grindhouse which I loved from beginning to end.
I recently watched kill bill vol. 1 for the first time and didn’t like it nearly as much as his other films I’ve seen and thought I was insane because everyone else seems to love it so much but I kinda just felt nothing. It has nothing that I like about Tarantinos films. It has great direction and action sure but that’s not enough for me when I don’t care about what’s really going on. Now I haven’t watched vol. 2 yet but I hope it’s better than the first one.
YES! I’m so glad to see someone who likes Hateful 8 as much as I do
I totally agree that "The Hateful Eight" should be up there. I absolutely love it.

Blade Runner as style over substance is a jarring take
Blade runner is one of those rare instances where the style IS the substance.
Hard agree on Kill Bill. I just never understood the hype.
Kill Bill vs Mad Max: Fury Road?
Oh I have no doubts: Tarantino's movie wins by far.
I think the Landa point is more that Landa thinks the only reason he was able to deny orders and move to the other side is because he was so intelligent. Without his superior intellect no-one would ever be smart enough to manipulate or betray orders. He thinks so little of the Basterds that he assumes they'll follow orders no matter what and thats his downfall.
3:45 Exactly. Not caring about the characters is boring. In Pulp Fiction, you really care about Uma not od'ing. Here, I don't give a shit.
I fucking LOVE the Hateful Eight
You're completely ignoring the car aspect of Death Proof. The practical effects, 70's car culture.
Agreed! Nice job!

I splitted Kill Bill in two parts because they are actually different movies
Don't attack me because Pulp Fiction isn't on Top 3 😁
I definitely agree with your opinion on the Kill Bill's
The two Kill Bill films being of volumes and chapters are supposed to be like Mangas. It’s appropriate and interesting.
I think I'm the only person who will argue Once Upon a Time in Hollywood would have been better if it was longer. We needed more from the Manson gang. They felt completely jammed in at the end so Tarantino could get that violent end. It relies upon your knowledge of the real story to fill in the gaps, so I think we needed at least some short scenes as set up for the eventual culmination.
Kill Bill is pure cinema. Film can be both entertaining and edifying, but great schlock, B movies, pure genre films, what have you, their greatest virtue is taking the aspect of entertainment and pushing it to its heights. Grindhouse is entertainment unchained, and Kill Bill is a worthy successor to that tradition.
Tarantino's biggest problem is, that he made his by far best movie at the beginning of his career - Pulp Fiction. I love Kill Bill 1 but in all honesty, there's more c/p in that one than in all of his other works combined, just watch Urami Bushi and see where he got his inspiration from.
I agree with the pacing and editing issues with films like Django. I would say you have peak Tarantino with OUATIH, PULP,, JB, RD and BASTERDS
...You forget she DIDN'T rly defeat Madsden? And Elle's left-for-dead fate was unpredictable anyway? 😅Not that it rly matters cuz the protagonist is literally running through a grocery list of villains leading to Bill (whom she'll obvs get to; name of the film and all). Good review tho. I actually agree with most the rankings too, unlike some. (as long as you didn't do some contrarian mental gymnastics to make Pulp NOT #1, we good tbh)
What is the joke on the Bruce Lee scene? I forgot
Kill Bill's my #1 favorite Tarantino film 🥺
Lucky me, I only saw Django and I loved it (gotta rewatch it), if this is his 6th best movie then I'm REALLY looking forward to the rest of this shit.
I would love to see a Kurosawa worst to best
When you said: "I'm not gonna go into every small little detail as to why this is Tarantinos best film, because you've heard it all before and we'll be here all day."
I went: "NO! Tell us! We want the story again! I don't mind staying here all day! Like a kid who has heard the same story many times but just wants it again because it's such a good story".
Tell us the story again! I don't see any specific analysis concerning Pulp Fiction in your UA-cam "filmography".
Even if these are Wild takes like the Kill Bill one. But you made up for having OUAT in the top 3. My favorite.
I agree with a bit of these and disagree on a few. My list would be
Kill Bill 1
Kill Bill 2
Django Unchained
Hateful 8
DeathProof
Reservoir Dogs
Once Upon a time in Hollywood
Inglorious Bastards
Pulp Fiction
Jackie Brown
The only film I’m not a fan of is KB vol 1. The others I all really like but just have a few issues with besides like the top 3 which I think are amazing
Just wanted to pipe in here to say that, while I heavily disagree with parts of your list, particularly the reasoning, I think that's great: I didn't want to watch a video that merely just echoed my own thoughts back to me, where's the fun in that? I already know what I think and I don't need my opinions to be validated.
Good stuff.
I like all his movies I agree with your top 3. But I think you out Hateful Eight to high and Kill Bill to low. But you’re still a true Quentin Tarantino fan. Like me
Kill Bill was his best OMG😮, his films overall tend to be dialogue heavy and low on action.
1. Django Unchained 2. Inglorious Basterds 3. Pulp Fiction 4. Reservoir Dogs 5. The Hateful 8 6. Jackie Brown 7. Once Upon a Time... 8. Death Proof 9. Kill Bill-I flip-flop on 1, 2, and 3 all the time, from the human triumph of Django to Inglorious Basterds' anti-critic diatribe or the sheer mastery of Pulp Fiction. The slow burners of Dogs, Hateful, Jackie Brown, and Once Upon a Time are all also masterpieces. Death Proof is easily Tarantino's most misunderstood and underrated, and I wish he'd do another horror film. For me, Kill Bill only works cohesively as a single film, and then an anti-climatic ending hits. As a standalone, the ending to Volume 2 doesn't have the impact needed to bring the story to a proper close. I know Tarantino says his next film will be his last and it looks like it'll be another love letter to Hollywood, but the dude really needs to make a foot fetish porno already and just get it out of his system.
Ive always seen the Kill Bill series as "pulp fiction " which is generally what everthing that Tarentino has made
FURY ROAD is a great film but its basically “lets drive down this road, now lets drive back”. I will never argue against how a film makes someone feel. There are only a small handful of films i would feel compelled to defend, Kill Bill isn’t one if them.
I respect The Hateful Eight appreciation

I really would love for him to make a Star Trek movie under a new name like Kirk Tarantino hehe
First choice kills the whole list, you don’t know cinema
outro song?
Kill bill is also my least favorite so I'm with you, although forced to pick the vol. 1 is better than 2
Underrated channel! I agree with you with everything you said here ❤
See the difference between my opinion of exploitation Is I love terrible movies. I hate boring films. It's the principle of cartoon logic. It's post-irony, I guess. So many bad movies from the 90s i love. The love for exploitation films comes from their lack of adherence to mainstream film Etiquette. The room for example. None of the references in Kill Bill are trying to do anything less but perfect and playful reference genre tropes. The film is a B-movie. It establishes that with tone alone. That's like judging dumb and dumber for not being as grounded as 500 Days of Summer. A woman escapes a coffin with her hands. An assassin with an eye patch kills a man with a snake. TORRENTS sky rocket like the Bellagio fountains. Those exploitation films aren't good. They're fun. They are entertaining and a lot of the time surprisingly good. It's a film that is so silly but actually through that has a heartfelt conclusion and it works. It's not phantom thread. This is why Ebert didn't get the thing.
I agree with your take on Kill Bill.
Thats very good video, but I really like Tarantino as actor in Pulp Fiction and Reservoir Dogs. I think he fuking nailed it and I like his performance in those movies. Death Proof I liked much less than Planet Terror, but they both very nice and fun movies.
Jackie brown gets better with multiple viewings each actor gives their own clinic in that film! Each interacting they have with each other is another clinic!
Honestly the only movie of.his i dont like.is hateful.eight
9. Deathproof
8. Jackie Brown
7. Kill Bill 1&2
6. Once Upon a Time in Hollywood
5. Django Unchained
4. Reservoir Dogs
3. The Hateful Eight
2. Inglorious Bastards
1. Pulp Fiction
The ending to Inglorious Basterds doesn't seem out of character to me. IIRC Hans said/implied in the beginning he's only hunting Jews for the Nazis because it pays well and he's good at it, not out of dislike for Jews. So it gives his character a sel-centered mercenary vibe, with no strong loyalty to the Nazis. Him turning on them for a full pardon and a cushy retirement paid for by the Allies seems like something he might do if he seriously thought the Nazis were going to lose the war anyway.
These can be in any order and be justified lol he just didn't miss 😍
Here is my list of…the top 4 I LOVE and have watched multiple times and will watch again.
1. PULP FICTION…innovative, memorable in the extreme, unforgettable characters..TOTAL MASTERPIECE of filmmaking.

3. JACKIE BROWN…again go to the South Bay L.A. …here it is! The mall to the Diner (Norms) , brilliant movie…incredible performances..
4. RESERVOIR DOGS- brilliant, so many great performances, stylized ANIME type plot..he does that over and over.

6. DEATH PROOF…he creates that atmosphere so well, love the in the car scenes…
7. KILL BILL 2- yeah…the anime continues Uma and Carradine..Michael Parks, Madsden …great to watch.
8. Hateful Eight….atmosphere..anime western!
9. INGLORIOUS BASTERDS …WW2…live action ANIME…love the BEAR JEW…HITLER dies in 1943 France in a cinema…umm…ok.
