    I can't even choose since I love most of them equally

    I would have thought Kill Bill, or Kill Bill 2. There was something in them that Pulp Fiction didn't have, but Pulp fiction is also good. The three are all better than Reservoir Dogs, but Reservoir Dogs is still good, and I haven't seen the other one

    Pulp Fiction for me - brilliant movie.

    My choice might also have something to do with the fact that it was the first movie I took my wife out to watch - very romantic isn't it?

    Resevoir dogs by far. The opening scene with the madonna conversation is priceless. I have to say, I didn't like Jacky Brown.

    Pulp Fiction by a nose, with Reservoir Dogs a very close second.

    What about Dusk till Dawn? errmm...yeah,.... nevermind.

    Pulp Fiction here, the "I dont eat pork" dialogue is fantastically random.
    Kill Bill 2 gets close enough though. Although I love the opening of Kill Bill 1 with Nancy Sinatra's "Bang, Bang".

    imo, pulp fiction by a mile. i need to watch reservoir dogs again, been a while, but it's second. the other three are tied for a distant third. i actually liked true romance (screenplay) as much as the last three.

    Kill Bill 2, I havn't seen Jacky Brown, but by the poll, it can't have been that good, well it's showing as the least popular.

    Poor Jackie Brown get's no respect. I admit it wasn't that great, but compared to most movies that come out it was pretty above average.

    But Kill Bill Vol.1 is a complete masterpeace. Vol.2 was spectacular as well but I couldn't relate to it as much.

    Reservoir Dogs, with Pulp Fiction a close second.

    Never really got into the Kill Bill movies; they were kind of fun but without the emotional or dramatic impact of RD and PF. They just seemed kind of hollow to me.

    Reservoir Dogs, by far his best film. But to be fair they are all really great.

    Dogs. The coffee house scene reminded me of some of the conversations I've had with my friends. RDogs by far.
    Fiction was good, as was the 1st half of FDTD (b4 the zombies). Kill Bill 1 was amazing but I think 2 sucked eggs.
    He needs to make another one now.

    I had to vote for Pulp Fiction because I've had the desire to go back and watch it numerous times. The dialogue between Jules and Vince is worth many viewings. I also love the way the slowly-rising title contrasts with Dick Dale's high-speed guitar in the opening theme. It begins rising as Dale switches to his main lead. I once watched just that part repeatedly.

    However, the film that I admire most is Jackie Brown.

    Reservoir Dogs has great moments. A little uneven at times. I can't watch the "ear" sequence. I actually skip it in repeat viewings, which is a shame, because I have to miss "Stuck in the Middle".

    The Kill Bills were great the first time, but I don't have a strong desire to see them again. I will, I'm sure. I want to see Chiaki Kuriyama again.

    That scene, the ear, was f---ing hilarious!

    I would have to say Pulp Fiction. I have not seen Resevoir Dogs, but I think PF is better than both Kill Bills, despite its often mind boggling plot.

    I liked the 1st half but the zombies were rediculous (though Selma Heyek sp made it all worth it)

    since tarantino is foremost a director, "tarantino films" usually refers to movies he's directed, so the poll is complete in that sense. he wrote a few others (e.g. true romance) and produced some others (e.g. from dusk till dawn).
