Quite surprised no one mentioned Pulp Fiction clearly he's best film so many great stories in the one movie not to mention the awesome cast so many great actors
I thought it was over rated. Didn't think much of it on first viewing when it came out, and hasn't changed for subsequent viewings.

I also think Pulp Fiction is his best work.

I just re-watched Reservoir Dogs for the first time in a few years and it's pretty amazing. This movie must have cost peanuts to make but the dialogue and acting (Buscemi!) make it a 9/10.

On the whole a great film, I think the first act was probably a bit too long and the film could have been edited better perhaps? I don't know something about it just didn't flow that well.
Robert De Niro was simply brilliant such a strong and loyal character played to perfection, wow he was good. Meryl Streep and Christopher Walken were also amazing.
Glad I watched it again haven't seen it for ages, probably appreciated it more this time. Last time I didn't even notice how good Meryl was.

I used to detest Pulp Fiction, I'm a simpler fells who likes my action movies more linear, like Rambo or Die Hard or Terminator, when I seen Pulp Fiction I didn't understand it, or why is was called a bloody, action film.

Over time I've realised that it is a work of art that gets better every watch.

Inglorious Basterds edges Pulp Fiction for mine.
Both great films it's hard for me to choose between the two. Saw PF when it first came out and was blown away, instantly knew it would be a classic.
IB, well what can you say? The scene down the basement tavern ranks as one of the most suspenseful i've ever seen. Superb dialogue to boot.

I can't stand Basterds, Jackie Brown is boring, and haven't seen enough of Django or Reservoir to comment.

Kill Bill 1 didn't thrill me but I really enjoyed 2.
Kinda funny, I think most Tarantino fans consider Kill Bill 2 either his weakest or 2nd weakest (Deathproof).

lol, didn't even consider the Gindhouse stuff.

Yeah that looks woeful, his failed attempt at making an aussie style exploitation film.
