Since there's only a handful to choose from, here's my list:

1. Pulp Fiction (hands down)
2. Reservoir Dogs
3. Sin City (he only directed one scene, but we can count this one anyways)
4. Kill Bill Vol. 2
5. Kill Bill Vol. 1
6. Jackie Brown

Definitely can't wait for Grind House to come out

Not a big Tarantino fan at all, but guess PULP FICTION is a pretty good movie.

You got forgot the last section of
'Four Rooms' that he directed and a acted in. I thought it was a great scene and the best part of the movie.

Wasn't he working on a World War II movie at some point? Whatever happened with that?

Oh, and Pulp Fiction is his best, but not the only good work

Supposedly he is going to make his WWII film after GRIND HOUSE. The working title is INGLORIOUS *******S.

Thats it. I heard about it a while ago, but haven't lately. I wonder how he is going to do with a war/action movie.

Hey bluefire, you should check it out. It is a pretty good movie all around and it is cool to compare the four different styles of directing in one movie. Tim Roth is great as well. It is funny to me though how much Tarantino and Rodriguez use the same actors over and over again.

For example....the little boy that Rodriguez uses in four rooms is the same kid in Desperado.

I think Res Dogs is very very very overrated.

Like Pulp Fiction however.

He directed an episode of ER a long time ago, that I thought was pretty well done.

But my favorite anything of his is still his initial speech in Pulp. "But you know what's on my mind right now? It ain't the coffee in my kitchen."

Ya'll probably know this but he wrote NATURAL BORN KILLERS.

I really like his work. He does seem to like helping out other directors or lending his name to the works. Is that normal? My ranking would be

PULP FICTION
KILL BILL (BOTH)
RESOIRVOIR DOGS
FOUR ROOMS (THE FOURTH ROOM)
JACKIE BROWN

I really don't count Sin City but thought it was a great movie and cannot wait for the second one to come out.

Jackie Brown

Louis: Who's that?
Ordell Robbie: That's Beaumont.
Louis: Who's Beaumont?
Ordell Robbie: An employee I had to let go.
Louis: What'd he do?
Ordell Robbie: He put himself in a position where he was going to have to do ten years in prison, that's what he did. And if you know Beaumont, you know ain't no got damn way he can do ten years. And if you know that, then you know Beaumont's gonna do anything Beaumont can to keep from doing them ten years, including telling the federal government any and every motherfarking thing about my black ass. Now that my friend is a clear cut case of him or me. And you best believe it ain't gonna be me.

I wonder if NBK would have been less over the top/hammy if QT had directed it.

he produced hostel

another one he wrote and produced was From Dusk Til Dawn, a very entertaining take on the vampire movie

Actually, I think this was split and he did half of it.

you're probably thinking of grind house, i'm pretty sure he wrote all of from dusk til dawn

The credits for FDTD say that Tarantino wrote it and Rodriguez directed it.

The rumor when it came out was that Tarantino directed the first half and Rodriguez the second, but I think that was just a rumor. I am sure he had some input, though, since it was his script and he was on set every day.

I loved Reservoir Dogs. Not ovberrated at all, IMO.

true romance is the best thing he's written and is one of my favorite movies.

the best he directed is jackie brown.

"AK-47. the very best there is. when you absolutely, positively GOT to kill every mother****** in the room, accept no subsitutes."

Actually, True Romance is a decent flick. I think the rest of his stuff is hyper-violent, over-rated crappola.
