Ranking Quentin: Tarantino Worst to Best

10. Inglourious Basterds – from the stupid spelling to the crawling length of it, this film lost me on impact. A shame, because the first 25 minutes is about the best thing Tarantino has ever shot.

Django Unchained: DVD

Django Unchained Director: Quentin Tarantino Starz/Anchor Bay Quentin Tarantino films create – and then exist in – their own world. It is a remarkable skill he has, all the borrowings, the petulant pastiche, the obvious nudge-wink silliness; there are so many hallmarks of his style, the obvious being the peppy dialogue and hipper-than-hip/kitsch-gets-all-dressed-up-good-and-nice-ya-hear soundtrack but […]
