A Variety Of The Best Movies Directed By The Talented, Quentin Tarantino

By Colin Richards


One of my favorite directors in the game right now is without a shadow of a doubt, Quentin Tarantino. Few people exude cool the way that Tarantino does, and besides his incredibly distinguishable style of directing, he is an incredible screen writer. With a Tarantino movie, you know you are going to get top notch dialogue.

This article will highlight what I consider to be the best movies written or directed by Quentin Tarantino.

Reservoir Dogs ranks in as the number 63 film of all time according to the Internet Movie Database, and with good reason. This was one of Tarantino's first films, but still remains one of his best.

The story of the "The Bride", or Kill Bill as it is better known, has to be one of his best films. In my opinion Kill Bill: Volume 2 was the stronger film, just because it struck a better balance between fight scenes and story lines. Both movies are awesome though.

Tough to compile a Quentin Tarantino best of list without giving praise to Pulp Fiction, which is considered by most to be his masterpiece. This movie stars John Travolta, Bruce Willis, Uma Thurman, Ving Rhames, Samuel L. Jackson and Tim Roth, to name a few.

True Romance is the one film on this list that Tarantino did not direct, but you would never know it. Tarantino sold this script to the Hollywood studios for a reported $20,000, clearly before he was big time. This is as star studded as casts get: Patricia Arquette, Christian Slater, Christopher Walken, Brad Pitt, Michael Rappaport, Dennis Hopper, Val Kilmer, Samuel L. Jackson and many others.

The last spot on my list goes to Inglorious Basterds, Tarantino's latest creation. Sure this movie is a work of fiction, but if you take it as such, it becomes a very enjoyable movie very quickly. One of the better films of its year.

These are just some of my favorite movies of Quentin Tarantino, however in my opinion all his movies are great and worth seeing.
