Inglourious Basterds is my favorite of Tarantino's movies. Followed by Reservoir Dogs/Pulp Fiction, though I probably enjoy Dogs more. And then the two Kill Bill movies, first one was better.
Most overrated movies?

And what about Four Rooms.
-
One of the reasons Inglourious Basterds is awesome is because of Christoph Waltz. It has a lot of real gem scenes in it
-
I've never seen Four Rooms. And I'm not sure I can point out exactly why I like it better but I do.
-
I have been dying to see Jackie Brown forever. It's on my DVR. I'll get to it soon. RD and PF are both great. Kill Bill is a lot of fun. Death Proof is like the ugly step-child of the bunch. I thought IB was great. Never heard of the Four Rooms - I'll look into it. Tarantino doesn't crack my top 10 but I still like his work a whole lot.
-
I actually love Kill Bill, both of them. I like how it pays homage to the cheesy kung fu flicks of the 70's. And then the second one is more of a spaghetti western which is also nice. Both movies have elements in them that I really enjoy, not to mention the strong female lead character played by one of my favorite actresses. Plus, the music is incredible.
My second favorite has to be either Pulp Fiction or Reservoir Dogs. I think Death Proof and Inglorious Bastards are at the bottom of the list though. I have yet to see Jackie Brown, but I really want to.

Try to view Kill Bill as a singular film.
:happy:

^ I usually marathon them.

If I did then I'd view it as a film that started off well and then got progressively worse in the second half.
It doesn't feel like one film.
Inglorious Basterds was alright.
Pulp Fiction was my favourite. I'd probably say that Reservoir Dogs was a bit overrated… even though I like it.

@JERK:
Reservoir Dogs owns hard. I also like it better than Pulp Fiction.
Hm, Reservoir has more interesting dialogue and is more like a play, while Pulp Fiction has better plot entanglement (if that is a word) and is more entertaining to watch and more memorable too.

Inglourious Basterds has this nice mixture of QT-over-the-topness and good dialogues. There are a few really good scenes in there, especially the ones with Christoph Walz. I loved watching it, I wasn't disappointed by it in any way.
And what about Four Rooms.
Four Rooms is awesome, but Tarantino only directed a bit of that. I actually like Rodriguez' part in that movie better. But it's a great movie altogether and it has that classic Tarantino feel of films in which they talk about beverages and ways of torture.

It is one film, the producers decided to cut it in two because it would have been too long. But I agree that the first part is better, it's built out better and it's more coherent. The second part feels like he just crams in everything he didn't get to tell in the first part. Still, it has a couple good scenes.

@Mrs.:

Lolllllllllllllll even tarantino does his best not to acknowledge that abomination, writing it out of history like some sort of stasi security agent.

Well sorry, I liked it.

Well, in this film they are not friends, but are involved in a love triangle that ultimately factors into Harvey's transformation into Two-face. Nolan originally wanted to introduce Two-face in the third by having Joker scar him with acid(similar to Long Halloween) but dropped it, since they wanted a more 'emotional ending' to that film. When Two-face first appeared(in the comics) he was mostly a one-bit villan who didn't have any relationship with Bruce Wayne prior to becoming Two Face– the element of them being friends prior to his transformation is an innovation of the 90's series and in terms of the Batman's persona the modern comics(Year one, Long Halloween). Unlike in the comics, this film has Dent and Batman as merely uneasy allies with both using each other for their own gain. I do agree that Dent was rushed, it would have been better to have him as a cameo in the Begins or something(which Nolan originally wanted) but it worked for the direction the Nolan series wanted for the film. Also I kinda don't care for the ferry scene I thought it was pretty awkward to be placed in the film now I get what Nolan was trying to convey with that scene but it was too dragged out for my taste.
Late reply, but thanks for the info about Two-Face. Obviously, all I know about the guy I learned from the animated series.

300 was awesome. That is all.

It was an action fest filled with testosterone and blood, that's all it really needed. I enjoyed it as well because I didn't expect any deeper meaning to begin with and it's a good movie to watch with your friends. But was that movie even overrated? :wassat:
-
I really like Memento, but I agree that it is overrated. The backward stuff is really overhyped when it's not really impressive, and not as intelligently used as most people who liked this movie think it is.
It's not only about ,,lol going backwards'', but also seeing the same events in different lights, not always believing what you see and so on. Partially like a modern take on the same topic as Rashomon.
(Okay, honestly, it's been a few years since I've seen it, but I certainly thought it deserved the praise. Certainly a smarter movie than Inception, now that was overrated) -
Dunno if I added it already to this list of overrated movies, but I have to say it considering the obsession people have with this film: Breakfast at Tiffany's. This one is from a multitude of factors, from essentially just not really connecting with these characters (why the heck do they have to make Audrey Hepburn so weird? And why the heck is Mickey Rooney a Japanese man…and terrible at it at that?) to just not being one of my favorite films by Blake Edwards (if I were to watch a contemplative Edwards film, I probably would stick with "10", which I think is rather underrated...though somehow I prefer some of the zanier stuff like "A Shot in the Dark"...or a bit of both with the original "Pink Panther") to just all the hype people give to this movie. The only think I consider iconic is just the opening scene with Audrey in the glasses and the gown and tiara at Tiffany's...it's the only time the film gives off anything that seems interesting before she gets all weird.

"Inside Job" is so overrated. It is so fucking biased and it is the usual "Republicans rant". Good guy vs Bad guys. The movie only points the finger toward a specific group of people but what about the people who accepted those phony mortgages.
I have met a lot of people who were not necessarily politicians or bankers but were as evil as them.
