Realistic not Hollywood style thriller
Luke Smitherd has done another great job in bringing to life characters facing inexplicable terror. Chris, the protagonist, is both humorous and human - making misguided choices based on the little experiences that he had. The man in white is a brilliant villain, odious through his fake good humour and his macabre outlook of life. I really wish we could've found out how and why the man in white chose his victims and not just just how he picked his pawns. Would recommend!

Usual chaotic comedy
As with a lot of these American comedies, it's brash, over the top and totally in your face, with a dollop of moral ethics. A mother, stretched to the limits, decides to let go of being perfect and do what she would rather do. She is judged as a result by other mothers, insecure with their own issues of attempting to reach perfection. It's a little silly, and I switched off engaging after a while.

The usual Hollywood C-rate comedy.

Book Favorite

"The second non-fiction book by the legendary novelist and screenwriter responsible for such classic films as The Princess Bride (a personal favorite), Marathon Man, All The President’s Men and Butch Cassidy and The Sundance Kid. Like the prequel, Which Lie Did I Tell includes candid behind-the-scenes stories, a window into the process of how to write good scripts and how The Princess Bride became his first screen credit in nearly nine years. A thoroughly entertaining insider’s look into how Hollywood works."

Movie Favorite

"A classic ghost story, from a novel by Dorothy Macardle, directed by Lewis Allen. Brother and sister Ray Milland and Ruth Hussey buy a cliff-top home in Cornwall that turns out to be haunted by at least two spirits and one still-living person . . . the waif Gail Russell, who is drawn to the room where her mother supposedly died. It’s one of those Hollywood films that was too sophisticated for the censors, with several transgressive elements (lesbianism, illegitimacy) couched tactfully and woven deeply into the mystery."

So after finally getting round to watching Once Upon a Time a couple of nights ago, I present my ranking of Quentin Tarantino movies from my favourite to least favourite.

Note that all of these movies are 8/10 or above for me (and I've counted Kill Bill as one film)

1. Inglorious Basterds
2. Pulp Fiction
3. The Hateful Eight
4. Django Unchained
5. Jackie Brown
6. Once Upon a Time in Hollywood
7. Reservoir Dogs
8. Kill Bill
9. Death Proof

How about everyone else??

I would agree at least 8 out of 10 or above.

Mine would be similar although it has been a while since I have seen Jackie Brown or Reservoir Dogs. Also, need to watch Once Upon A Time again so I have more of the details. I felt like it ran past quickly at times.

1. Pulp Fiction
2. Inglorious Basterds
3. Django Unchained
4. Kill Bill
5. Once Upon a Time in Hollywood
6. Jackie Brown
7. Hateful Eight
8. Reservoir Dogs
9. Death Proof
