I think "True Romance" is his best one. What do you think? - AH
Follow Ups:
... and the beginning scenes in "From Dusk til Dawn", when the vampires come in, forget it ...

Some great dialogue and fantastic acting, which was only equalled at points in Pulp Fiction (John Travolta/Samuel Jackson).It also benefits from coherence and a lack of pretension compared to later Tarantino films.
This is one of the few movies I've watched multiple times.

Of Tarantino’s acclaimed triumvirate, I don’t think it’s possible to choose which one is “best.”“Reservoir Dogs” was great for its raw emotion and energy, temporal pacing, faultless casting and astonishing script. “True Romance” is a more polished and mature work, which gains some power through the benefit of better production values while slightly sacrificing narrative drive in an (arguably) compromised third scene. “Pulp Fiction” stands as Trantino’s magnum opus and is an ongoing source of endless delight for the discerning film lover. It will certainly be remembered as one of the most influential films in the first 100 years of history of the cinema, transcending all currently-accepted artistic boundaries while simultaneously fulfilling audience expectations for great entertainment. It stands on its own as a perfect work, yet benefits enormously when compared and contrasted to “Dogs” and “Romance” (and continues the timelines, characters and key narrative structures laid down in the previous films).
Three truly wonderful films.
Couldn't agree with you more Scott, nicely said...when I first saw Pulp Fiction, I did, however, notice the story construction ripped off from Altman's excellent 'Short Cuts'. Forgiven, though...
Don't agree with you -- Short Cuts used multiple (with some intertwining) stories, but kept the timeline linear. Pulp's strength was how it was juggled around. The film that ripped off Short Cuts was the outstanding Magnolia. I forgive Anderson for that, though, because he did such a good job -- I liked Short Cuts but cannot watch it over and over again like I can Magnolia.Doug Schneider
True Romance was written by him and directed by Tony Scott. As for Tarantino-directed films, I pick Pulp Fiction which I believe is really great.Doug Schneider
Personally, I think Tarantino is a talentless ass-clown. There are a few scenes in Pulp Fiction I like, but I attribute it to the actors.
I thought most film buffs liked this hack. No vision. No character development. No cinematograghy to keep you awake through the boring part ... yaknow, like between the start & finish. No nada.
....just my 2¢

Certainly, you're entitled to your opinion, although it's pretty obvious that you are about as dense as they come with respect as to what constitutes film as art.
Had a dubious pleasure last night of watching part of the "From Dusk Till Dawn" - felt exceedingly good when turned it off. Perhaps this is his greatest strength.
Dusk was written by Tarantino but directed by Robert Rodriguez who, in my estimation, blew it. Rodriguez is REALLY good but hasn't found quite the right vehicle since El Mariachi and Desperado.Doug Schneider

Absolutely with you regarding Tarantino and his movies. Besides the actor's factor there were a lot of the open plagiarism in Pulp Fiction as well..Rgds,

Thats called parody!
Kind of like you trying to be clever but coming off as shallow and predictable.
Does plagiarism include the scene where Christopher Walken tells the story of the watch? That's a brilliant scene -- because of Walken's timing, of course. But it also seems above Tarantino's writing ability.
Pulp fiction was a co-written film. Only Tarrantino can tell you which bits are his or his partners.Either way, Pulp Fiction was a better film than Forrest Gump(though I really liked it) and should have won best picture...the other worthy films that year were the Shawshank Redemption and Quiz Show.
