breaking the “rules” a bit, but Grindhouse and From Dusk Til Dawn were great as well

Grindhouse was Planet Terror/Death Proof (Rodriguez/Tarantino)
Movie Trailer at the beginning of Planet Terror was for Machete, which became the 3rd Grindhouse.

Oh, another Grindhouse movie that had its beginnings as a trailer in Planet Terror was "Hobo with a Shotgun"

right...just like Dusk Til Dawn was Rodriguez & Tarantino

holy shit...totally forgot about that

Death Proof was awesome.

I think I leaned about chartreuse from Tarantino’s cameo as a bartender: “the only liquor so good they named a color after it”

And From Dusk Til Dawn is cool too. I remember thinking it was so badass as a kid. Then years later, I was trying to Netflix and chill with this chick when it was suggested…she was all like oh cool vampire movie let’s watch! But then there’s all this green vampire blood and tits and everything, and she got grossed out and decided to go home.

sure, blame the movie for your inability to close the deal

My thoughts as well

There is a candidate on Prime: "Voyuers." Predictable, but not in the way that would have made it plausible. Some deals are closed on camera.

I love Dusk til Dawn.
Takes itself so seriously at first and then...VAMPIRES.

I must admit I've never watched either Kill Bill movies, not even sure what they are about. I do love Reservoir Dogs, Pulp Fiction and True Romance. Dusk til Dawn was good too. Pretty sure I've seen Jackie Brown.

Oh dang!

Go see Kill Bill right now. Both of em.

If you like Tarantino you’ll love em, might be his goat work

I like Hateful 8, Mrs 99 hated it. Mostly cuz of everybody getting shot up.

to me, Hateful Eight just seemed slow and drawn out...excessively so

I liked hateful 8 I didn't like Kill Bill 1 or 2. Possibly the most over rated movies ever.

Yeah, I haven’t seen more than bits and pieces of Hateful 8. It never really grabbed my attention immediately, like a good Kill Bill fight scene can do, so maybe it is drawn out.

I do recall some reasonably exciting scene in like a cabin? Maybe even another Mexican standoff

Both of the Kill Bill movies were just too hokey for me. I have never been able to watch either of them to the end. I am sure that movie lovers understand all the genius of Tarantino but I find most of his movies to be too over the top for me. I loved Pulp Fiction; I loved Reservoir Dogs at the time it came out. Most of the rest of his work is just too much for me.

most of the movie was in a cabin Qus.....

Agreed 2C. I dont like Tarantino really. too much. I like reservoir dogs, I liked pulp fiction but haven't seen it in 20+ years and I liked Natural Born Killers. I've never seen why he is revered as some sort of cult icon but I'm not s huge movie buff either so....whatever

one of my personal favorite things about his films are the soundtracks

Yeah, good tunes.

And Kill Bill to me might be the most accessible Tarantino. It doesn’t require you, as much at least, to pay attention to every bit of boring dialogue. Just think of it as a king fu movie.

Haven't seen either Kill Bill movies. How long are they? Seems like an all day commitment.

Neither is as long as most Tarantino flicks

Vol. 1 is 1:52 and vol. 2 is 2:17, which are both shorter than the usual 2.5-3+ hour Tarantino
