"This has been a cult novel in Sweden ever since it was published in 1980, and has to some degree been discovered in Norway, too. It steals from both the classics and pulp fiction and has this couldn’t-care-less-attitude combined with literary talent that reminds me of Jim Carrol's “Basketball Diaries.” Both have this special sense of time and place that makes you want to move to Stockholm or New York."

Got to be one of Tarantino's worst movies, 2 hrs 40 minutes and literally nothing happens till the last 10 minutes. It looks great and has a typically diverse QT soundtrack but is basically one big long rambling boring ego trip. There must have been at least 30 minutes of screen time consisting of Brad Pitt just driving around Hollywood . Pulp Fiction it most definitely isn't. Hugely overrated and almost certainly wouldn't have been made if it were anyone else but Tarantino.

Dont try and piece together any semblance of a coherent storyline here, just sit back and let it happen is what I told myself whilst taking in this over the top Danny Trejo vehicle.
One thing going for it is that it never tries to be something it isn't and is of the pulp grindhouse nature that means thin plot and lots of blood and incoherent dialogue which you will absolutely love or loath, I was somewhere firmly in the middle.

A film that has held up very well. 20 years later the storytelling still feels fresh and exciting despite the obvious ‘Pulp Fiction’ inspired plot device of having the story told several times from different characters perspectives. The script is sharp, funny and frequently veers off in unexpected directions. Watching the film again now it’s also amazing to see that barring Katie Holmes pretty much the entire cast has now disappeared into obscurity which is a shame as there is certainly some talent here.

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

Golden dialogue
A Twisting Tale of Back-Stabbing and Lies
You could make an argument that this is the greatest crime movie ever committed to film. At the very least it's up there with other greats such as Pulp Fiction, The Godfather and Scorsese's own Goodfellas. I don't think I have ever been in as much shock after watching a movie as I was after this one, the ending is polarising, but I love it. A perfect movie in every way.
