Quentin Tarantino's top movies in order from worst to best according to IMDb and where to watch them online
The American director born in Knoxville, TN, has left us authentic masterpieces such as Pulp Fiction, Kill Bill, and other films that we take a look at.
Quentin Tarantino is one of the most acclaimed and successful Hollywood filmmakers of all time. In fact, some of his best films are some of the best films in the history of cinema.
On this occasion, we pay tribute by compiling all his productions under his direction, ordered from best to worst rating according to IMDb. Which movie is your favorite? Do you think Pulp Fiction is his best? We take a look at them below.
Pulp Fiction
Pulp Fiction was the first movie to gross over $200 million, multiplying the original $8 million budget by 25. Tarantino made a lot of use of the Honda Civic that Butch drives in the movie. In fact, it is the same car that Pam Grier drives in the lead role of Jackie Brown and also appears in a parking lot scene in Kill Bill: Volume 2.
Django Unchained
All specialized film critics point out that it is undoubtedly one of Quentin Tarantino's most relevant films and one of the modern Westerns that have generated the best repercussions. With a budget of 100 million dollars, it grossed 420 million dollars. A real box office success.
Inglourious Basterds
Although it is an American production, did you know that only 30% of the movie's dialog is in English? Most of the dialogue is in French, German, and Italian. This is unusual for a Hollywood production, although Tarantino wanted the script to be as realistic as possible.
Reservoir Dogs
Considered one of the cornerstones of contemporary independent cinema and the film that catapulted Quentin Tarantino to worldwide fame. With a budget of $1.2 million, it grossed $14 million in the US. Although it had little promotion in America, the movie was very well-received in England.
Kill Bill: Vol. 1
Did you know that the yellow suit worn by Uma Thurman is an homage to the one Bruce Lee wore in Game of Death, his last movie? Quentin Tarantino gave Uma Thurman the script of Kill Bill as a thirtieth birthday present, as well as the lead role of the bride. Another detail of the production is that it took no less than 6 years to write the entire script, which they then decided to split into two parts.
Kill Bill: Vol. 2
It made less money than the first one. While 'Kill Bill: Volume 1' (2003) made $180.9 million worldwide, the sequel only made $152.1 million. Although Uma Thurman said from the beginning that she would prefer the most controversial driving scene to be done by a stuntwoman, Quentin Tarantino convinced her and in the end they had a big scare: She ended up crashing the car into a tree. The accident left her with a concussion and damaged knees.
The Hateful Eight
It won the Oscar for Best Original Score for Ennio Morricone. It also won the Golden Globe for Best Original Score. The Hateful Eight was nominated for Best Screenplay and Best Supporting Actress (Jennifer Jason Leigh). This production is Tarantino's longest.
Once Upon a Time in... Hollywood
Quentin Tarantino's ninth production had a budget of 95 million dollars. An amount, without a doubt, much higher than Tarantino wanted to recreate the decade of the 60s in Hollywood. Did you know that this production was seriously affected by two unexpected deaths? Luke Perry and Burt Reynolds died during filming. Despite these sad losses, Tarantino's cast was spectacular.
Jackie Brown
Jackie Brown is the film adaptation of the novel Rum Punch (1992) by Elmore Leonard. It was Quentin Tarantino's first film to adapt existing material rather than using his own. Another anecdote is that it is the only Tarantino production in which he does not make a physical cameo. However, his voice can be heard on Jackie's answering machine.
Death Proof
According to Quentin Tarantino himself, the movie is an homage to John Carpenter. In addition, the filmmaker describes 'Death Proof' as a gore and slasher genre film, although he adds: " I don’t even know exactly where that point is, but there is some point in the film, when you’re watching the last 20 minutes, you’re not watching what came before. You have actually switched genres and you’re into a different movie.”
Four Rooms
Originally the movie was going to be called Five Rooms and Richard Linklater was going to direct the fifth episode. A film that he co-directed with Allison Anders, Alexandre Rockwell, and Robert Rodriguez. In fact, he also appears as an actor and delights us with the best story of the movie: Chester Rush.
