I'm a huge Tarantino fan...

Pulp Fiction has to be #1. Jackie Brown was really good too, if you haven't seen it you should. It should be ranked in the top 5 for sure.

Reservoir Dogs is good since it's so unique with basically the whole movie being shot in the warehouse.

Hateful 8 should be above the Kill Bills (even though I really liked those).

I'd probably go:

1 PF
2 JB
3 RD
4 IB
5 Django
6 H8
7/8 Kill Bill
9 OUTH
10 DP

JB 2, ok I’ll give it a look.

Almost put Reservoir Dogs first.

I have a love/hate relationship with Tarantino. The movies I like I’m nuts about and put them among my favorite movies of all time, Django, Bastards, Once Upon a Time. I've probably watched each of those three times. The movies I don’t like, I couldn’t even finish and still haven’t. The Kill Bills, Hateful 8.

The first Tarantino movies I saw where I really noticed how good he was as a director was Jackie Brown and Res. Dogs, so put those just under the top three. 

I’m probably the only person on the planet who can take or leave Pulp Fiction. Haven't seen Death Proof.

I think if you take the restaurant scene out of IB it's top 3 for me. But Brad Pitt doing that ludicrous Italian accent was too much.

The restaurant scene with the strudel, Christoph Waltz and Shoshana? That was intense AF. You didn't like that?

No! That was amazing. The scene were Pitt is conversing with Hans Landa with the half Kentucky half Italian accent. I think maybe it was the movie premier and not the restaurant.

Yeah, the movie premier. Makes me laugh just thinking about it. I think it was meant to be ridiculous tho. Bon Jerno!

One thing I love about Tarantino is that I think he must've wanted to be an ad man at one point. The strudel scene in Basterds, the beer scene in Django. Look and LISTEN to the care he puts into his food shots. Damn...thirsty?

Sorry I'm late to this thread...
Worked in theaters for years in high school and college an a big Tarantino fan.

Here's my list:

Pulp Fiction - This is tough for me because I absolutely LOVE Reservoir Dogs, but there are just so many watershed and quotable moments in this film. SLJ's finest work IMO.
Reservoir Dogs - Love this film and the developing relationship between Roth and Keitel. This one has a "Hitchcock LIFEBOAT" feel.
Inglorious Basterds - Honestly the first 20 minutes of this film are unmatched in cinema, The Strudel, the pub scenes just a great film on so many levels - ESPECIALLY the dialogue. Christoph Waltz - WOW!
Jackie Brown - Such strong character development, each looking out for themselves: Pam Grier, Robert Forster are amazing & SLJ's performance second only to Jules Winnfield in PF IMO.
Django - Again Christoph Waltz does an incredible job, but LDC steals the movie in my opinion, absolutely loathe his character.
Hateful 8 - Great on many levels, so many plot twists - especially enjoy the dynamic between SLJ and Goggins.
Once Upon A Time - Some memorable scenes, great dialogue but meanders at times.
KB Vol. 1 - Not a fan of "long drawn out" fight scenes - Tarantino himself said that most violent acts take place very quickly and therefore more realistic (Willis & Travolta, Lapadite home / Dreyfus family, La Luisiane pub, etc.)
KB Vol. 2 - Enjoyed the training montage & a couple other scenes
Death Proof - Entertaining, but just not his finest.
