One of my favorite directors in the game right now is without a shadow of a doubt, Quentin Tarantino. Few people exude cool the way that Tarantino does, and besides his incredibly distinguishable style of directing, he is an incredible screen writer. With a Tarantino movie, you know you are going to get top notch dialogue.

This article will highlight what I consider to be the best movies written or directed by Quentin Tarantino.

No list of Tarantino films would be complete without giving mention to Reservoir Dogs, which was the breakout film for this iconic director. This film was done on a severely limited budget, but with a star cast including Harvey Keitel, Steve Buscemi, and Michael Madsen, you might not realize that.

Another incredible film by Quentin Tarantino was Kill Bill: Volume 1. Many people get into heated debate about which film from this duo is better, volume 1 or volume 2? For me, Volume 1 set the precedent and is the better of the two movies.

It is tough to make a list of Quentin Tarantino directed or written films without mentioning the Mecca of his movies, Pulp Fiction. This is easily one of my favorite movies of all time and it is amazing it didn’t win an Academy Award for Best Picture. That’s what happens when you go up against Forrest Gump and The Shawshank Redemption in the same year.

Another fantastic Tarantino film is True Romance. Tony Scott actually directed this movie, but it was Quentin Tarantino who wrote the script, and it clearly shows. My favorite scene from this movie is the scene with Christopher Walken and the late Dennis Hopper. Classic Stuff.

The last spot on my list goes to Inglorious Basterds, Tarantino’s latest creation. Sure this movie is a work of fiction, but if you take it as such, it becomes a very enjoyable movie very quickly. One of the better films of its year.

With Kill Bill Volume 3 reportedly slated for 2014 and his only visible credit, it might be longer than we want before we see another Tarantino film. I hope this is not the case.
