Scorsese is the GOAT.

Tarantino is up there though.

Damn, not one of those movies is bad, OP. Even Scorsese and Spielberg have directed duds.

Yes, Q is goat-tier

Edit: Kill Bill 2 was disappointing, but still a good movie

I get that people love him, so i understand he's talented but his movies just aren't for me.

I did like Death Proof though

He definitely has a hilarious sense of humor in his movies. Wasn’t a fan of Pulp Fiction but most all of his others were awesome and all in a different theme and way. Hopefully he’s not serious about his next movie being his last.

Scorsese
Tarantino
And Clint Eastwood always make great movies.

For a while Nolan was but his last years post TDK I haven’t cared for. Interstellar I just gave a chance for maybe like the 6th time last night and I’m not sorry to say it’s just a completely uninteresting bore fest of a movie.

a few of his movies I like BUT a lot of them don't really click with me for some reason even though I know they're well made movies

so objectively he's up there no doubt but for me none of his movies rank in my GOAT tier

Yeah, I know he wrote True Romance. He had the choice between directing those two movies, and he went with Reservoir Dogs.

But like... there's not much info that I could find about what he was doing before making movies. I thought directors usually start with making art movies in college or something lol

I don't think so, but he's up there somewhere just underneath. Reservoir Dogs & Pulp Fiction are his finest work. Jackie Brown is very good, the rest i think are between average and good. But all are watchable.

People are split on that one. Some hated it, but I loved it. It basically doesn't have a plot, but the acting, dialogue, humor, and setting are so good, it doesn't matter

No.

His best movie is easily Jackie Brown.

The rest range from good to hot garbage.

RD is plagerized from City of Fire down to the same exact camera angles and shots.
PF is one of the most overrated films in history. Advanced screening ripped it apart and QT reedited it in a panic.
JB is his best film.
KB 1 & 2... I'd actually place p1 pretty high on his list.
KB2s a fun movie until the final act which is beyond stupid.
Django is one of his better films.. again until it drags too long and the end is ridiculous. Had it ended at the proper point that it built, it would have been one of his better films. Instead we have to sit through 20 mins of QTs Australian accent, more script contrivances and lapses in logic, and a totally anticlimactic ending.
DP.. some good moments but a juvenile and stupid movie.
Basterds... I csnt really think of anything good to say about it besides Waltz. Its a waste of film and time.
H8.. QTs obsession with dicks continues. A few good moments in another tedious movie with dialogue that sounds like a 12 year old wrote it. This is the same guy who adapted Jackie Brown??? Looks nice ,but as bad a Basterds and DP. He chooses a film with people in a cabin.. going nowhere with only a few location shots to shoot in 70mm.
Once Upon A Time.... his best movie since KB1. He should have shot this in 70mm.

I'm glad he didn't do True Romance and NBK himself. They were better off in more capable hands.

I've only seen Jackie Brown and Once Upon a Time in Hollywood. Jackie Brown was good but I didn't like Once Upon a Time at all. I wanted to turn it off not even halfway through but stuck it out.

Over rated imo. All his movies feel the same. He’s good, but not g.o.a.t. status.

Just terrible.

Deeply disturbed with violence and blood individual who also tries to copy things he sees but doesn’t understand.

Like Kill Bill, clearly fascinated with Hong Kong Wuxia films from 1990s he tried to remake it for Western audiences, not taking into account that white bodies don’t even move the same way (legs are too long) and the female lead simply doesn’t look believable in her martial arts moves. It’s lie casting Oprah in a remake of Enter The Dragon! You can’t do that. Because Bruce Lee was thin and like Asian and sheit! But Tarantino would do that!

Tarantino is a spoiled child, like all lib cucks. It comes out in his movies. Like when Samuel L Jackson keeps cursing and killing people, this is what a child with tantrums does, yell and scream and throw things around to get his way. Tarantino was also clearly abused as a child, this is where he gets all the blood, violence, and gore from, as well as sexual and perverted stuff.

kill bill movies were absolute dog shiit.


-he was just riding the hype of his 3 previous movies

-death proof was just entertainment and nothing to write home about

-bastards was all right. felt like too much self wanking, "look at me"

-django was good

-hateful eight is his best movie

-once upon a time was als good



he's batting like .500 which isn't bad for sure, but definitely not goat status

Never interested in going to the theater to see one of his films and never saw one of his films and thought about ever watching it again. Too much useless dialog with a couple jump scares in between that would never work a second time. I've only seen a couple of his films but they're all set up the same. After Django I gave up on anything he touches with his BBC obsession. I swear he must puff on black peckers in his spare time.
