Josh's Media Reviews: My Top 5 Favourite Quentin Tarantino films

My Top 5 Favorite Tarantino films.

To celebrate his 60th Birthday.

This is belated because I forgot to post it on the 27.

So on this blog, I will write my top 5 favorite Quentin Tarantino films, and I'm a big fan of Tarantino. He's one of the few great directors still making original films focusing on story and character development rather than agendas. So today, I write about my top five favorite movies from this genius of a director.

Let us begin.

5. Kill Bill

Kill Bill is a great revenge movie. The whole story is about a woman named The Bride. We don't know her actual name. It's a mystery. In the film, she was an assassin for a guy named Bill, the head of an assassin group called the Deadly Vipers. She was supposed to get married, but he shot her in the head. She wakes up, learns she lost her unborn baby and vows to kill Bill and the Deadly Vipers. This is an entertaining film to watch but also really gory too well. It's common in Tarantino films to be violent and gory, and that's what we love about them. The film had some really cool moments like her training and the fight between her and Cottonmouth, played by Lucy Liu. I love that scene where she kills one of the vipers, Copperhead, played by Vivica A. Fox and her character's daughter see her mother's death, and the Bridge tells her she can't blame her for wanting her dead now for killing her mother, and she understands if she will come after next and The Bride will be waiting. It's a good scene. The Bride knows this girl will grow up and want revenge on her. That might be the plot of Vol 3. Also, we never see Bill in the film, we just hear his voice, and he's never shown, and he's played by the late David Carradine. The action scenes are great, and it's a good film and one of Quentin's best films.

Uma Thurman does a great job playing the Bride in this film.

The Bride is a great protagonist in this film; you root for her to kill Bill.

The Cast of this film all does a great job, and it's a great film.

I give Kill Bill an 8 out of 10.

4. Inglorious Bastards

This movie is awesome, and who doesn't like seeing nazis getting killed. This movie is about a group of soldiers led by Lt Aldo Rainer, aka The Apache, played by Brad Pitt. Their goal is to kill every nazi and show them no mercery for all the horrible things they've done during the war. It's only fair, and in the film, Christoph Waltz plays the main villain, and this guy is evil to the core. Hans Landa was so evil like you wanted him dead, but at the same time, Christoph does such a great job playing him. He even won an oscar for his performance. Melanie Laurent ent does a great job playing Shosanna, a woman who owns a movie theatre and wants revenge on the nazis for killing her family, and Eli Roth plays a Sgt named Donny, aka The Bear Jew. He kills nazis with a giant baseball bat. This movie is funny and violent, has a fantastic story arc, and has some incredible moments in the film too.

Love this line.

The Cast of this film did a great job, and Brad Pitt was awesome, Aldo. He's one of the best characters in the movie. The ending was just fantastic. He screws over Hans in the end because he's a nazi.

I give this film an 8 out of 10.

3. Django Unchained

Django Unchained is one of my favorite films about a guy trying to rescue his wife from a plantation owner. I love this film for its violence, storytelling, and comedy. The film focus on Django, a freed slave, recruited by a bounty hunter. Storytelling named Dr. King Schultlz, a German bounty hunter who hates slavery and is one of the best characters in the whole film. The film has Django hunting down the men who took his wife away, and he learns about german culture and lore from King. The film's main villain Calvin Candy the owner of Candyland is not what you think it is, and he's one of the most twisted villains in the movie. I love this one scene where King talks to Calvin and tells him about the 3 Musketeers author Alexander Dumas.

Alexander Dumas was indeed black. His father, Thomas Alexander Dumas, was black and a french general.

The cast in this film all do a great job with this film like Jamie Foxx is fantastic as Django, Christoph Waltz as Dr. King who to me the best character in the whole movie and even won his second Oscar for his performance, Kerry Washington as Broomhilda Django's wife she's terrific in the film, Leonardo DiCaprio as Calvin Candy who actually cut his hand while filming one scene but kept going despite cutting his hand, and Samuel L Jackson as Steven. He is the uncle tom of this film, but Samuel does a great job playing him, and you want him dead.

Fun Fact, Samuel L Jackson said he wished Tarantino had made this film years ago because Samuel would have loved to have played Django. I just love watching this film, and everyone does a great job playing their characters, and I've heard Tarantino is planning a crossover with Django and Zorro; it's a weird idea of crossover, but it could be good. They're both freedom fighters, after all.

One of the best moments is when Django gets revenge on the three brothers who tortured him and his wife. It's a really satisfying scene because these three brothers were awful.

I really enjoyed this film a lot, and the ending was perfect.

This shot here was great.

I give Django Unchained an 8 out of 10.

2. Pulp Fiction

Now Pulp Fiction is one of Tarantino's best films. Its quotes and scenes are so iconic now. The film focuses on three different stories of two criminals named Vincent and Jules, played by John Travolta and Samuel L Jackson, who are working for a crime boss named Marsellus Wallace, played by Ving Rhames. Their story is to get back a briefcase that belongs to Wallace. We never see what's in the briefcase. It's left up to the audience. What is this particular thing in the briefcase?

It's unknown what is in there.

The other two storylines are one with Vincent taking his boss's wife, Mia, played by Uma Thurman, out for the night of the town. They get the expensive milkshake, lol. She overdoses but is saved in the end, and Uma Thurman earned an Oscar nomination for her role in the film. She deserves it. She was terrific in this role.

The other storyline revolves around Butch, played by Bruce Willis, a boxer who took bets on himself, resulting in him killing his opponent. Now he has to leave town with his money and his girlfriend, but his girlfriend forgets to get his father's watch. He goes back to get it, and he runs into Wallace, which results in both of them being captured by two redneck rapists. In the end, Butch saves Wallace, and Wallace lets him go for saving him.

The film also stars Tim Roth and Amanda Plummer as a couple who try to rob a diner but meet Vincent and Jules.

This scene is brilliant and funny at the same time.

The film's cast all do a great job, and this film launched Samuel L Jackson's career. Now he is Nick Fury, Mace Windu, and many more iconic characters.

This film's narrative structure is done brilliantly, and this film is just so much fun to watch. The ending was great. This is one of Tarantino's best films out there, and I recommend this film to anyone.

I give this film a 9 out of 10.

and my favoruite Tarantino film is....

1. Once Upon A Time In Hollywood

Once Upon a Time in Hollywood is my favorite Quentin Tarantino film. I love this film like I never get tired of this movie no matter what. The film is basically set in the 1960s during the Golden Age of Hollywood films. The film focus on two fictional characters named Rick Dalton and Cliff Booth. Rick is a struggling actor who was on a hit cowboy show called Bounty Law, and he's trying to make it big, and Cliff is my favorite character in the film, and this film won Brad Pitt the oscar for supporting character. He is Rick's stun double and best friend as well war hero who many believe killed his wife. In the book adaption, it's revealed that he did indeed kill his wife.

Seeing this film makes me wish Rick and Cliff were real because they would have saved Sharon Tate, her friends, and her unborn child from the mansons.

Also, watching this film makes you crave pizza, beer, and kraft dinner.

The film also has Margot Robbie as the late great Sharon Tate, who was sadly murdered in real life by the Manson family. When I first saw this film, I assumed they would have that happen, but no Tarantino changes history with this film. Also, I found Margot Robbie did a fantastic job playing this character Sharon Tate's sister said that Margot did an excellent and great job playing her. I remember someone asking Tarantino a dumb question about Margot not having enough lines in the trailer, and I loved Tarantino's response to it.

It's true you should ask questions about the story, the characters, or how the story came to be.

Don't ask dumb questions like this journalist did.

I also enjoyed the flashback scenes in the film, and one of my favorite scenes was when Cliff goes to Spahn Ranch. He basically realizes these hippies are nut jobs and clearly are a cult, and they were led by that piece of shit Charles Manson. I love the scene when he punches a hippie in the face and tells him to fix the tires of Rick's car.

The other film cast members like Al Pacino, Kurt Russell, Emile Hirsch, Margaret Qualley, Timothy Olyphant, Dakota Fanning, Damian Lewis, Mike Moh, and the late Luke Perry, which was his final role before his untimely death. All did a fantastic job playing their characters, who were fictional and real-life characters.

Interesting Fact.

The way Bruce Lee was betrayed in this film sparked outrage because he's betrayed as arrogant. As a Bruce Lee fan, I can understand why the Lee family was offended by this betrayal of him. Now, Tarantino does not care and stands by how he wrote Bruce Lee.

I may not have liked how Bruce Lee was written, but I still love this movie's well-written storyline.

To me, this was Tarantino's best film. I just love this movie so much. It's such a great film, and the ending was funny and made many people wish this happened in real life.
