Film Club Regroup

Following several months off due to holidays, babies being born, and busy schedules, our film club has resumed meeting.  We left things off after viewing only two Martin Scorsese movies, Mean Streets and Taxi Driver, but we decided to pick things back up with Quentin Tarantino’s early films.

 

A recent radio segment on the 20th anniversary of Pulp Fiction piqued our interests in Tarantino and our film club decided that before returning to Scorsese we would view Reservoir Dogs and Pulp Fiction.  The initial plan was to dive back into Scorsese after those two movies, but after our first meeting last weekend and rave reviews for the two movies viewed, it was decided we would watch the Kill Bill series before returning to Scorsese.

 

A recent ranking of Tarantino’s directorial films has been attempted, but it may change a bit after another viewing of the Kill Bill films since I haven’t seen those movies in nearly a decade.  Below are my current rankings of the nine films Tarantino has directed.  It should be noted that regarding Grindhouse and Four Rooms I have included the portion of the films that Tarantino actually controlled.

 

9. Kill Bill: Volume 1

8. Grindhouse (Death Proof)

7. Jackie Brown

6. Kill Bill: Volume 2

5. Four Rooms (The Man from Hollywood)

4. Django Unchained

3. Reservoir Dogs

2. Inglourious Basterds

1. Pulp Fiction
