No way I can pick a fav movie, so, in no particular order:

Reservoir Dogs - Scene where Joe assigns the color names or opening scene

Kill Bill I - at the house of Blue Leaves

Kill Bill II - Pai Mei training scene

Inglorious Basterds - pub scene

Pulp Fiction. Beginning of the movie when they compare foot rubs to eating out the "holiest of holys"

4 Rooms

When the kids find the dead hooker in the mattress

quote:

Ted arrives at a scene of mass chaos: One painting in the bedroom has a target scribbled on it in lipstick-That Juancho and Sarah use to play darts with the syringe., Juancho has a cigarette in his mouth, Sarah has the bottle of champagne in her hand, the television is set to an adult channel, and the children have found the corpse of a dead prostitute (Patricia Vonne) stuffed under the mattress. While Ted tries to quell the chaos in the room, Sarah stabs him in the leg with a syringe when he repeatedly uses the word "whore" and Juancho accidentally sets the bedroom on fire with his cigarette.

True Romance

The Sicilian Scene

quote:

Tarantino himself has named "The Sicilian scene" as one of his proudest moments.


Not only is this a great scene but rumor was it was shot exactly as viewed on the first take. If you have never seen it, I suggest watching the whole clip here but watch the primary part of the scene when Walken goes into the Sicilian conversation and the response by Hopper. 2 great actors in one great nonstop clip. If you have never seen it on the big screen you have missed a great moment. Hard to do a clip that long and almost impossible to get on the first try.

The great part is Hopper's character knows he is going to die but gets under Walken's skin before getting killed as a final f*ck you to Walken's character.

OP doesn't specify that it be a Tarantino-directed movie, just a Tarantino movie. As Quentin both wrote and acted in From Dusk Til Dawn (leaving the direction to Robert Rodriguez), I consider it to be within the Tarantino oeuvre. YMMV...


Gets my vote, because... well, because Salma Hayek. Mizzoukills is being a party pooper.

True Romance is definitely a classic.

Ironically, my 84 yr old mother was telling me earlier tonight that she had just watched that movie and she was commenting on the egg plant scene. Followed by a history lesson about how many changes Italy has endured over the millennium.

Inglorious Bastards



Pulp Fiction



Also, the black mamba scene in Kill Bill was pretty good, especially when she gets her other eye plucked out and is crawling around in the trailer with it. Creepy as frick.

Great OP question:

Pulp Fiction - I can't really pick a favorite, but I lose my shite during the Christopher Walken watch scene



Kill Bill - Favorite scene is the Lucy Liu final fight. That scene is poetry in my opinion. Flawlessly shot and directed.

Inglorious - Opening scene with Waltz. Textbook example of Tarantino's ability to build tension through dialog and the acting is just so good.

Pulp Fiction is one of my favorite movies of all time. My favorite scene is probably the first scene with Vincent and Jules, followed closely by the scene with the Wolf. My favorite line is when Mia says, "That's when you know you've found somebody special, when you can just shut the frick up for a minute and comfortably enjoy the silence."

Django the KKK scene.

Particularly where one guys says "I can't see in this fricking thing, I can't breathe in this fricking thing, and I can't ride in this fricking thing." Then the guy whose wife made them says "well frick all y'all I'm going home."

I can't believe people liked Inglourious Basterds


Why cant you believe it? Movie fricking rocked. Have you ever though that maybe the problem is with you, and not us?

I came in to say the opening scene in Inglorious Basterds as my favorite scene.

Favorite overall movie is either IG or Pulp Fiction.

I didnt consider this one because Tarantino did not direct it, but if True Romance counts, then there are about 3 or 4 scenes from that movie that would be my overall favorite scenes.
