I think of Tarantino movies like children.  You can say you love them all equally, but deep down, there are favorites.  Personally, I'm a Jackie Brown man.  I dig Quentin's assessment that it's a 'hang out' movie.

Jackie Brown is his best, but Pulp is just a genuine favourite. Its got the characters, the structure, the originality, the dialogue and the soundtrack that make it so much.... fun.

Reservoir Dogs ***½
Pulp Fiction ****+
Jackie Brown ****
Kill Bill ***½

I think I really overrated Kill Bill when it came out (problem I have with a lot of films because of hype, excitement, whatever), but looking back on it, it really is an exercise of style over substance.  Still, it's a good one.  Pulp Fiction is just gold, and Jackie Brown is excellent as well.  Reservoir Dogs is really stylized for a film with such a low budget as well, and I like Ebert's criticism of it, even though I like the film more than he did: that characters in such dire situations wouldn't do as much talking (as the Tim Roth character does), and perhaps more should be done with his characters instead of just talking.

Reservior Dogs *** (Michael Madsen and the conversation about color names were my favorite things about this movie)
Pulp Fiction *** 1/2 (Very interesting plot and it captivated me the whole way through.)
Jackie Brown ****  (most underrated, smart and best film)
Kill Bill vol. 1 *** (fluff compared to his earlier works, but had enough enjoyable style and energy to boost my rating to 3 stars)

Reservoir Dogs- ****

Pulp Fiction- ****

Jackie Brown-***1/2

Kill Bill Vol. 1- ****

I love that muthafucker!
The only other person who can match that with their first four films is PTA:

Hard Eight- ***1/2
Boogie Nights- ****
Magnolia- ****
Punch-Drunk Love- ****

Some people are getting close...like Wes Anderson

Bottle Rocket- ***1/2
Rushmore- ****
Royal Tenenbaums- ***1/2

Maybe after he makes another film he'll rank up there with those two for best four film starts of the past two decades, if not all time. :lol:

Those who say that the totalitarian state of the Soviet Union was not "real" Marxism also cannot admit that one simple feature of Marxism makes totalitarianism necessary:  the rejection of civil society. Since civil society is the sphere of private activity, its abolition and replacement by political society means that nothing private remains. That is already the essence of totalitarianism; and the moralistic practice of the trendy Left, which regards everything as political and sometimes reveals its hostility to free speech, does nothing to contradict this implication.

When those who hated capital and consumption (and Jews) in the 20th century murdered some hundred million people, and the poster children for the struggle against international capitalism and America are now fanatical Islamic terrorists, this puts recent enthusiasts in an awkward position. Most of them are too dense and shameless to appreciate it, and far too many are taken in by the moralistic and paternalistic rhetoric of the Left.
