Absolutely terrific movies, as usual with Tarantino movies, the dialogue has you hooked quickly and he’s an absolute genius at knowing when and where to shamelessly lift from other movies and genres and there’s loads of that going on in these films.

It’s a great story, cast superbly and ranks high on Tarantino’s creations imho.

I absolutely love both of those. So stylish. So enthralling and the sound tracks are magnificent.

I think KB 1 is my favourite of the 2 but I wouldn't die in a ditch about it.

Pulp Fiction is my favourite Tarantino but I'm not sure if it's Reservoir Dogs next or KB.

Probably KB. But I'm not sure. :greengrin

Don't think he was even a nominee to be fair. Hook only got nominated for the likes of set direction and costume design. Can't argue with Anthony Hopkins as best actor. I don't remember City Slickers so have no clue on Jack Palance for supporting actor...

Hook wasn't well received critically. Wouldn't have helped.

Love Kill Bill. Always preferred the first one but the second grew on me as it was repeated incessantly on ITV4 and I saw more and more of it before work. Always laugh when Michael Madsen tells her his priceless sword ain't priceless in El Paso.

Jackie Brown for me. Then probably Inglorious *******s. Reservoir Dogs.
