Pulp Fiction. Never, ever tire of watching it. Still need to watch Hateful Eight and Django.

I would add that Pulp Fiction is not unnecessarily or gratuitously violent. It’s used honestly as part of the story and surreal atmosphere.
As an aside Death Proof is the same as Grindhouse; it’s the second part of the double-bill.

Another for Pulp Fiction, with 2nd place between Django & Jackie Brown.
Inglorious goes off the boil for me.

I hate violent films but love Tarantino. So that contributes to making him a genius.
Remember the Private eye cartoon?....I will look it up and post it...
Edit: can't find it. It has Tintin shootin Snowy between the eyes, saying 'die, mother****er' with the caption below saying 'TintinTarantino'

Only watched a couple but you are right, it's all an excuse for violence. Sometimes quite grim violence at that. Somehow Django Unchained is the least worst of what I have seen.

I opted for Jackie Brown, but i probably should have gone for Reservoir Dogs, which blew me away in my late teens. It felt so violently fresh and stylish. Since then, or Jackie Brown at least, his films seem to get worse each time. Impressive moments here and there, but charmless, and increasingly infantile.

Indeed, 'Grindhouse ' is 'Death Proof' and 'Planet Terror ' (which was written and directed by Robert Rodriguez)

I’ve come to ‘Tarantino’ late but went to see ‘Hateful 8’ as my first in the cinema and loved it so much I’ve since seen ‘Inglorious’ and ‘Django’ and have ‘Pulp Fiction’and Kill Bill recorded ready to watch.
I loved all three I’ve seen so far and would put Hateful 8 as my fave.

Honestly can’t vote for a favourite. Pulp fiction, Reservoir dogs, Django and Inglorious are all neck and neck. Scarily good catalogue of films.

Brilliant director and very hard to choose a best.
Certainly for place and time Pulp Fiction absolutely hit the spot with me at the time. I think i went to the cinema to see it at least 5 times. Seems a little dated when i watch it now but that is probably because it was so time and place.
Pretty much my favourite film of all time is True Romance which he didn't direct but did write.

Reservoir Dogs and Pulp fiction are far and away my favourites.
Next up comes Jackie Brown, Kill Bill vol 1 and Hateful Eight.
Then Inglorious Basterds and Django unchained.
Last Kill Bill vol 2.

He's only made two good films, one okay film and bits of IB are quite good.
To be fair you'd be better off trying to find the orignal films that he cuts and pastes scenes from for his own films.

Interesting. I understood that his movie was a standalone project, set in the Star Trek universe but not part of the current series of films. Although this is still rumour and no one is confirming anything just yet.
Something more certain is his next project, 'Once upon a time in Hollywood'. set in 1969 it has the Manson Family murders as a backdrop. Leonardo DiCaprio, Brad Pitt, Margot Robbie, Tim Roth, Kurt Russell, Miichael Madsen and Burt Reynolds are all to star in it.
