9.  It's really good but a little long for my attention sp

[Hammerfestus | 3,891]

9.  Love this movie but not my favorite Tarantino film.  There’s at least 3 that come ahead of this.  His movies are always always worth my time to check out.  The „what’s next week“ was kinda tough.

[Tulpa | 3,537]

Reexamining it years later, I find myself only interested in the Jules/Vincent story and some of the Butch story. I find I don't care about Vincent/Mia or Ringo/Bunny at all (except where they interact with Jules.)

I've become quite a big fan of Tarantino in his later years, but I never enjoyed his early stuff, the Pulp Fiction, True Romance, etc. stuff. I mean, they are fine movies, they just don't do a whole lot for me.
He's an incredibly talented movie maker, but he always makes "just whatever the hell he wants", which I have to respect.

6/10 or 7/10 I guess?

[a3quit4s | 4,127]

Easy 9. 

[RH | 4,980]

Not a popular opinion but Tarantino is pompous and arrogant and it comes out in his films. I was a fan in my early 20s but as I got older, I could just see to much of what grated on me about his own personality in his films.

If I have to watch a Tarantino film, of the ones I've seen Reservoir Dogs would be the one I'd pick. Of the Kill Bill set, I liked vol. 2 better than vol. 1.

When it came out it was pretty groundbreaking, imo, in terms of story structure. I had to watch it twice to get a handle on it. Oh, the days when movie tickets were $3.75 (or a whopping $5.75 for adults)

Couple of years ago, I don’t know how it got picked but we watched at a friend’s house. His young teen daughters were bored out of their minds. Too early for them, now the movie is probably ruined for them forever. Oh well. I give it an 8, I didn’t think it was a good idea that day but generally it is Great movie. Easy to recommend.

9 for me. I love this movie and watching it never gets old. But my favorite Tarantino movie would be Jackie Brown. I haven't cared for his later movies but I enjoyed Once upon a time in Hollywood.

[mbd39 | 2,030]

10/10

But you may have had to be there to see how groundbreaking it is because it influenced so much.

 

[SailorScoutMandy | 782]

What can I say, I love basically anything from tarantino. 

Our second date was going to see the traveling showing of Hateful 8 on 70mm in a terrible snow storm. The drive should have only been like 30-40 mins each way, but the drive home took like 2 hours it was so bad out. It was worth it tho, the film was beautiful. 

[TDIRunner | 2,779]

Great movie.  Still holds up today and I've watched it more times then I can remember.  I'm in agreement with some others that some of the stories are more interesting then others, but everything still works well together.

 

Edit:  If Kill Bill doesn't win for next week, I hope we can fit it in at some time in the future (even if it means doing Vol 1 & 2 at the same time).

8/10  Have seen it once, did enjoy it thoroughly.  Will have to watch it again sometime in the near future!

[Foochie776 | 1,062]

10/10. So good, so quotable. Jackson and Travolta play so good together and Thurman is a dime 

[WhyNotZoidberg | 586]

9/10. It's a killer fucking movie and I feel everyone should watch it. 

[PII | 1,899]

Used to like it.  Don't really like it anymore.

[AstralSoul | 503]

Easy 9. I don't even really like Tarantino movies or this kind of movie in general but after years of being hassled to see it I eventually gave in like 20 years after it was released and it was really good, I can see why it's iconic.

[DefaultGen | 5,436]

9/10. Wish I was in film school so I could put the poster on my wall so people know I'm into films.

[Sumez | 2,995]

People would really respect your insight into artsy indie films.

I like real obscure stuff like the Coen brothers and Parasite. You probably just watch Marvel movies and wouldn't understand!

 Is that your poster. What a hidden gem that one is. Movie Jesus should cover it.
