Pulp Fiction. His best jigsaw puzzle ever. The most entertaining of all of his films. Every time you watch it to the end, you come to new conclusions, you understand more. 

I don't see anything special about "The Inglorious Basterds", though.

"I go to the movies
Last week saw the new Tarantino
starring sh*t What's That Guy's Name again?
You know the scene where they put the blowtorch to his balls?
Bloody brilliant
My daughter threw up, she didn't understand
I told her it's just like the Beano
It's not real
And if it was . . . well, so what?!" Joe Jackson, Heaven & Hell, Passacaglia/A Bud And A Slice (Sloth)

Released date are often when it it impacted you but recorded dates are when it really happened...

Forced myself to watch Pulp Fiction a few more times when it was last on HBO.
Ehhh...what can I say? Just not a big Tarantino fan.

Someone told me it's because I don't know enough of the original movies to fully get it...but idk why not just make a movie not all pastiche? :P

Inglorious Basterds did kick arse though.

Pulp Fiction. Would've considered voting for Kill Bill if it was listed.

Not a fan of Tarantino but voted for Reservoir Dogs. I enjoyed it more than Pulp Fiction and MUCH more than Jackie Brown, Death Proof etc.
This night wounds time.

When you say pastiche, you mean Tarantino used to repeat himself?

I found Waltz's character pretty annoying. Unfortunately, I don't remember any comic scenes in this movie.

I know that there's not much originality these days and my guess...is that Tarantino does it to make a point or poke fun...but all his movies are like, blatant parody or homage to past. I get it's purposely campy...just not my thing.

People have admitted this, big time fans usually nod and say "Yes" and "if you're not a movie buff it's harder to like him since you don't get the context and etc"
Not my cup o tea is all. Guess I don't get it Cry

There were some pretty sweet scenes from Pulp Fiction and Rez Dogs.

Really? I thought Waltz was f**king brilliant. Part of what made the movie for me.

It's not a comedy but certainly have some funny moments, like the one i have posted, americans posing as italians with the worst ridiculous accent ever. About Waltz's performance, it was simply stunning, he was my favorite character which is strange regarding my origins, certainly deserved his awards.

I've only seen Pulp Fiction, and it was so disgusting that I haven't had any desire to see any other of his movies.

By disgusting, do you mean in the context of graphic content such as gore, themes, etc? You probably haven't seen Reservoir Dogs then. Big smile In terms of graphic content, Pulp Fiction is nothing compared to Reservoir Dogs. Reservoir Dogs might be the most violent, non-horror movie I've seen.

Thank you, I was hoping this entire site hadn't been overtaken with those who praise style over substance and theft over originality.

Yeah...to each their own but I gotta agree, not sure how anyone can think Waltz wasn't brilliant.
I also found the movie pretty humorous...it's just not outright, it's in that Tarantino "you laugh because it's so purposely awkward" style
