Poll Favorite recent Tarantino movie? (16 votes)

Inglourious Basterds 31%
Django Unchained 19%
The Hateful Eight 50%

Watched all three recently and Inglourious Basterds takes it for me due to Christoph Waltz.

The way that Hans Landa played that sadistic cat and mouse game with the French dairy farmer at the beginning knowing full well that the farmer was hiding the family in his house was unsettling and disturbing but exquisitely filmed, written and acted.

Eh, recent Tarantino movies aren't really my thing.

His old stuff like Reservoir Dogs and Pulp Fiction are way better in my opinion.

All three were good, but Hateful Eightful is the first QT film where I felt like if he shaved 30-45 minutes off of it the quality would not have been diminished (and that's including Kill Bill). QT is a rare director in where I have yet to see a film of his that I don't like. Pretty much every other director has churned out at least a few turds. The Coen Brothers turned out some questionable later films. Tim Burton used to be pretty great until he basically turned out the same film over and over again for decades. Cameron was good until he shat out Avatar. I used to think Ridley Scott could do no wrong until he started doing stuff like Hannibal, Exodus: Gods and Kings, and whatever the hell Prometheus was.

Inglourious Basterds, it was the most fun

Hateful Eight was good...great, even. But it was really, really hard to watch. I mean it was this beautiful movie full of some of the worst people you could conjure up into a Western.

Django was awesome as well, and is a close second.

To be honest, I haven't seen anything of his after Kill Bill.

I freaking LOVE Reservoir Dogs and Pulp Fiction, and while I didn't like Jackie Brown quite as much, I thought it was at least a respectable attempt at a "not trying so hard to be cool" mature film.

Then there was that Kill Bill silly ninja revenge shit.

Then there was that "trying to be a cool B movie Grindhouse crap."

Then I heard that he was making a cool movie about killing Nazis and I was like, "ugh...I'm sure it'll be good, but I have no desire to watch that."

Then I heard that he was making a cool movie about killing slave owners and I was like, "ugh...I'm sure it'll be good, but...yadda yadda...no interest...whatever."

Loved both Django and Hateful Eight, but Hateful Eight is Tarantino at his best -- character development. That is basically what Hateful Eight is/was, 120 minutes of character development and narrative.

Still need to see The Hateful Eight. I liked both Inglorious and Django, but neither stuck with me all too much.

I will go with the Hateful Eight but I liked all three of those. It's a great film but I feel the first half is better than the second and he kind of looses it and gets a little too over the top. I loved the slow burn methodical pace of the first half of it. It sets up for the second half masterfully and then falls a bit short. I like Tarantino a lot though and I think it could be my favorite movie of his.

Hateful eight was just the n-word over and over for 120 minutes, not a great film. Although I heard it's used even more in Django.

I really enjoyed The Hateful Eight. Just as much, if not more than Inglororious Basterds. I thought Django was entertaining but not really on the level of the other two.* I'm actually surprised to see that it's doing so well in this poll because usually it seems people aren't the biggest fans of the Hateful Eight.

Even though it was my favorite, I will admit I was slightly disappointed by a few choices made by Tarantino. Otherwise it would be one of my favorite movies of all time. Something about Tarantino and his flicks annoy me, really. I'm with him on his artistic direction 90% of the time, but occasionally that 10% I'm not with him feels tragic.

*Django was well made but it was unfortunately plagued by shallow characters, out of place jokes, and well...honestly let me just say QT is the last person who needs to be addressing race themes
