Need a break from porn, shooting,s, self-driving cars and PSU scandals, so what is your favorite QT movie? Why?

Hard choices, but I"m going with True Romance. Yes, he didn't direct it, but it is the only movie where Balki doesn't irritate me, which makes QT a freakin' genius.

I have only seen some, but so far I hate them all, maybe with the exception of Jackie Brown. I don't like bloody violence played as a punch line.
I think the man is a sadist who glorifies violence. He has said that "Violence in movies is like, cool, I like it". At best, he thinks it's funny, at worst he gets his rocks off. All you have to do is look at his face to suspect it goes beyond his movies.
So next question, "What is your favorite Woody Allen movie". Well, at least he doesn't act his own sick fantasies out on the screen - or does he?

Funny you bring this up.

I finally signed up for Netflix about 4 months ago. First movie watched was Reservoir Dogs. Then went to Kill Bill Vol 1 and 2. Watched Jackie Brown about a month ago, and Pulp Fiction was on HBO over the weekend.

I love the bail bondsman in Jackie Brown. He takes on some sort of accent that I somehow relate to.

Having said that though, I just love Kill Bill. The Black Mamba snatches the only good eye out of Elle Driver. Christ is that funny.

Perhaps you think too much?

Woody Allen? The guy who married his adopted child? Oh jj, what are we going to do with you?

Obviously, my post was WAY over your head.
But your favorite Tarantino movie will be his next one. Here's what he said about it:
“I think Obama is fantastic. He’s my favorite president, hands down, of my lifetime,” the “Django Unchained” filmmaker told Vulture. “He’s been awesome this past year. Especially the rapid, one-after-another-after-another-after-another aspect of it. It’s almost like take no prisoners. His he-doesn’t-give-a-sh*t attitude has just been so cool. Everyone always talks about these lame-duck presidents. I’ve never seen anybody end with this kind of ending. All the people who supported him along the way that questioned this or that and the other? All of their questions are being answered now.”
The director also weighed in on whether his new film will reflect the zeitgeist of the “Black Lives Matter” movement and the country’s growing awareness of racially biased policing.
“It was already in the script. It was already in the footage we shot. It just happens to be timely right now. We’re not trying to make it timely. It is timely,” Tarantino said.
“I love the fact that people are talking and dealing with the institutional racism that has existed in this country and been ignored. I feel like it’s another ’60s moment, where the people themselves had to expose how ugly they were before things could change. I’m hopeful that that’s happening now,” he added.
Although Tarantino has been described in the past as “not a political person,” he did reportedly donate more than $30,000 to the DNC and $5,000 to Obama’s campaign during the 2012 election cycle and, in 2008, he was spotted at a celebrity-filled fundraiser for the future president.
 
Kill Bill (both parts) is probably my favorite because it's QT at his most self indulgent. It has EVERYTHING he's known for - amazing action, snappy dialogue, great score/music,choppy timelines, and one hell of an awesome cast. Inglorious Basterds is a close second - I've probably watched that movie more than any of the others. Amazing film considering nearly half of it is in German/French.

QT is a student of film. He takes genres and actors and makes them relevant to today in a very unique way. Instead of remaking a film, he remakes the genre of film. His movies are moralistic. Aside from being one of, if not, the most the creative directors and writers, he also is probably the best at writing dialogue. His writing is updated Shakesperean with all the monologues about cultural nothings.

Sounds boring and stupid........ Almost Hollywood cliché....
 
All of his films have their merit. Certain scenes really stick out to me, particularly in Inglourious Basterds when Landa is in the French farmhouse searching for Jews hiding out, simply chilling. The scene in the restaurant when he is eating the strudel is also excellent. Inglorious Basterds may be my personal favorite.

The other scene is in True Romance when Dennis Hopper & Christopher Walken have their discussion about Sicilians. What a scene. I am looking forward to The Hateful 8 at Christmas.
