I didn’t realize until I watched this one that I’ve only seen 1 or 2 Tarantino movies. With this one, the world they created and the acting performances are great, but the movie itself feels basically pointless. Glad I watched it once but I can’t imagine I would ever feel motivated to see it again.
I hope Pulp Fiction is one of them. That movie changed filmmaking in the 90s, with its intertwining plots, violence, nostalgia, casual racism of some of the characters and very sharp writing.
The Kill Bill movies should only be watched back-to-back, or else they make very little sense.
From Dusk Til Dawn was Salma Hayak as a vampire stripper and surviving an onslaught of demons from hell. That was pretty fun.
Natural Born Killers was really good, like a psychedelic Bonnie & Clyde murder rampage movie. No, wait, that was Oliver Stone doing his version of a Tarantino movie. My bad.
The Hateful Eight was OK, kind of like Django Unchained, maybe too much like it, except set in the snow. Inglorious Basterds, the Nazi Killer movie, was fun, but that one seemed kind popcorn predictable to me.
He first got recognition for Reservoir Dogs, which kind of set the tone for his later movies. It was pretty good, not great, IMO.
