That list of films is superb. Just because everyone knows them or they're cited so frequently doesn't mean there's anything wrong with liking them. They're a popular choice for a reason. I don't know why people are so hung up on having obscure or different films in their favourites list.
>>
>>72075472
Looks breddy good

name of movie/movies?
>>
I don't think the point here is to say that people who like the films listed in OP have bad taste (though they really should explore more and develop their own taste; that said to normies they would appear to be saying incomprehensible gibberish, we often forget we know more about film than most people I think), but that anyone pompous enough to be proud of their taste in film, to brag about it like that, and especially to refer to themselves as a cinephile of all things, is a fucking twat and deserves to die. I mean, I don't necessarily love all the OP films but it's hard to deny the importance they all hold and the quality with which they were made. Whether they're good or not is up to you

Tarantino is overrated frat boy and Fedora garbage. Kill Bill Vol 1 is perfect. From Dusk till Dawn is great, and the protector is amazing, but everything else is pretentious tripe.
>>
>>72078775
>From Dusk 'Til Dawn

Written by him, same as True Romance, but not directed. I guess that only supports your argument.

Pretentious? I'd say if anything he's just juvenile. Middle-brow at best (Jackie Brown)
>>
>>72078311
hes right
>>
>>72078807
He's pretentious because he sticks his name in giant letters after carving a swastika into a nazi's forehead and having a character literally say "I think this might be my best work yet." I just hate his dialogue. At first it was neat, but why the Fuck should I watch 3 hours of boring garbage, again and again and again. He just jerks himself off everywhere over all of his movies. You're right, it's not highbrow pretentious, but for entry level upper middle class kids that think fight club is good, you might as well as well put on Une Chein Andalou.

No, he wrote a sentence about what /tv/ likes without saying anything after making a stupid statement.
>>
>>72078994
Fair points, but I guess I've always been a bit hipster about my movie choices. My good taste lies elsewhere.
>>
>>72078994
I actually think Hateful 8 is QT's best work since Jackie Brown. It's still horribly flawed because of his ego, but it's a much more nuanced way of depicting race relations than Django Unchained (fun-ish but overlong and kind of shitty). Unlike that film, Hateful 8 is about two total opposites (black guy who hates Confederates, and ex-Confederate racist) realizing that they must stop hating each other and fight the true evil present in their world, and I think it does a really good job of carrying that central theme. It's just so much other shit in the film really drags it down.
>>
>>72079238
Yeah, I liked it for that reason as well. I thought Inglorious Basterds was almost incredible at depicting historiographical details, however. IB and Django were both basically vengeance movies, however, like Kill Bill but less stylistic and more thematic. I think it might be a little unfair to look at DU in the lens you do, but understandable given the subject matter.
>>
>>72079425
I think I exaggerated my dislike for Django, I do think it is a decent movie with some really fantastic moments and performances, it just succumbs to Quentin's ego a little too much. I also just don't really like Jamie Foxx. I like Basterds well enough for pretty much the same reasons as Django, but I feel like both of them lack depth. True of most of QT's work, although I was glad to see Hateful 8 mostly turn that around.
>>
>>72079471
Jackie Brown and H8 both deliver on the depth, I agree. I think Pulp Fiction is like a study in style, also, with some of the best acted and written dialogue scenes of all time.
>>
This is my favorite film.

Do your worst, reddit.
>>
>>72079525
That's my problem with Pulp Fiction, I really think it is a great film but it is fairly empty in terms of actual thematic content. He knows it, I mean it's in the title, and there are some themes in there with honor and whatnot in the watch story, but I still have small problems overcoming my own admiration of the film. Similar with Reservoir Dogs but I can accept that I like RD more easily for some reason. I like parts of Kill Bill, never really loved it though
>>
>>72079617
RD is really meh to me. Which is kinda sad because in retrospect it's probably his second-most controlled film that he made. I should like it more but it lacks the flair I've come to expect. I like how shocked I am by QT movies.
