Quentin Tarantino is one of the most prominent directors of the modern era. So far, he’s directed 10 films and has an 11th (and allegedly final) film in production with Brad Pitt called The Movie Critic. If you want to brush up on his filmography before then, check out our guide below ranking all 10 of Tarantino’s films and revealing where to watch them.
Picking a #1 Tarantino movie is a challenging task. The filmmaker has been nominated for eight Oscars and almost every single film he releases becomes a blockbuster hit. But, some still manage to stand out above the others. Taking the #1 spot on the list is Pulp Fiction. The movie centered around multiple interweaving stories, all filled with punchy dialogue, lots of violence (which Tarantino has become known for), and a surprising amount of emotional weight that helped transform Pulp Fiction into more than just another crime drama.
Also ranking high on the list is Kill Bill Vol. 1, which comes in at #2. The movie follows an assassin who seeks revenge after her former gang, the Vipers, attempts to murder her on her wedding day. With a fantastic cast that included Uma Thurman, Lucy Liu, and Vivica A. Fox, the movie was loaded with absolutely fantastic performances. That, paired with its excellent fight scenes that blended tropes from samurai movies and spaghetti westerns, turned Kill Bill into an incredibly compelling and distinctive film. While there’s also a Vol. 2, both films were originally one script and were actually made at the same time.
Finishing off the Top 3 is Once Upon a Time in Hollywood, Tarantino’s 2019 film that reimagined a world where the Manson Family didn’t kill Sharon Tate and her friends, but instead were killed themselves. And while that was the main overarching story, Once Upon a Time in Hollywood was also so much deeper. It depicted a bygone era of Hollywood and the way it rapidly changed in the late 60s. The dichotomy of a film that both fondly remembered Hollywood’s Golden Age while also portraying the grisly madness of the Manson Family was shocking and jarring, yet captivating and exciting. To date, it’s the only Tarantino film to ever receive a Best Picture nomination at the Oscars.
