A Variety Of The Greatest Films By The Talented, Quentin Tarantino

By Michael Stewart


Trying to comprise a list of the greatest Quentin Tarantino films is no easy task. It seems that every movie the man comes out with becomes a cult classic. There is no doubt that few directors have the cult following that Tarantino does. He is just that good.

When it comes to choosing Quentin Tarantino's best movies, it is not such an easy task as they are all great. Here are my top five favorites.

Reservoir Dogs ranks in as the number 63 film of all time according to the Internet Movie Database, and with good reason. This was one of Tarantino's first films, but still remains one of his best.

Another amazing movie by Quentin Tarantino that must be mentioned is a movie from the Kill Bill saga. In my opinion, it flows as one movie, but do to its length (it would be over 4 hours long if it were one movie), it had to be split up into two. Volume 1 features more fighting and action, while Volume 2 features more dialog and resolution.

Tough to compile a Quentin Tarantino best of list without giving praise to Pulp Fiction, which is considered by most to be his masterpiece. This movie stars John Travolta, Bruce Willis, Uma Thurman, Ving Rhames, Samuel L. Jackson and Tim Roth, to name a few.

One film of Tarantino's that does not get enough love is Jackie Brown. This is an excellently executed script featuring a star studded cast including Pam Grier, Samuel L. Jackson, Michael Keaton, Robert De Niro, Chris Tucker and Bridget Fonda.

The last spot on my list goes to Inglorious Basterds, Tarantino's latest creation. Sure this movie is a work of fiction, but if you take it as such, it becomes a very enjoyable movie very quickly. One of the better films of its year.

With Kill Bill Volume 3 reportedly slated for 2014 and his only visible credit, it might be longer than we want before we see another Tarantino film. I hope this is not the case.
