Quentin Tarantino Movies, Ranked

10 films, ranked on my own star ratings by Arwin Edward Bagaslao. Updated 2026-05-05.

My Tarantino ranking is basically a violence-and-dialogue buffet, but I am not here only for the cool needle drops and blood spray. I care about momentum, characters talking like every conversation is a duel, revenge that feels operatic, an

1. 1
   Django Unchained (2012)

   ★★★★★

   From the opening moments, Quentin Tarantino’s cinema confidence is undeniable.

2. 2
   Kill Bill: Vol. 1 (2003)

   ★★★★★

   In my memory, this felt like a fast paced action film, but on rewatch it plays more like a slow burn.

3. 3
   Inglourious Basterds (2009)

   ★★★★★

   The opening score sets the tone right away.

4. 4
   Death Proof (2007)

   ★★★★½

   So this is how it feels when Quentin Tarantino directs a Fast and Furious movie?

5. 5
   Once Upon a Time... in Hollywood (2019)

   ★★★★

   A laid back and nostalgic Tarantino film that focuses more on atmosphere, character hangouts, and tension simmering beneath the surface rather than constant action.

6. 6
   Jackie Brown (1997)

   ★★★½

   I immediately felt Tarantino’s signature rhythm in how tension is built through conversations, framing, and quiet maneuvering instead of nonstop action.

7. 7
   Kill Bill: Vol. 2 (2004)

   ★★★½

   Kill Bill: Vol. 2 takes a very different approach from its predecessor, trading constant spectacle for restraint, dialogue, and character driven tension.

8. 8
   Pulp Fiction (1994)

   ★★★

   Pulp Fiction leans heavily into dialogue driven storytelling, prioritizing long conversations and character interactions over traditional action or spectacle.

9. 9
   Reservoir Dogs (1992)

   ★½

   It felt like Among Us, nobody knows who the rat is and paranoia slowly poisons the room.

10. 10
    The Hateful Eight (2015)

    ★

    Binalikan ko ulit ito to give it another chance after rewatching Django Unchained, hoping na magugustuhan ko na siya this time.
