Herzog is strongest as a documentarian/narrator, but his Nosferatu film was pretty good.

I watched My Best Friend, his film about Klaus Kinski, a couple years ago and it was great, so I'm definitely going to check out his other documentaries.

His fiction is pretty hit and miss for me. I've watched a few more years ago, but nothing I felt strongly about. I can't even really remember the Nosferatu movie. I guess it hit the right sort of atmosphere pretty well. I haven't even seen the original yet, so I can't compare.

I think I agree that Tarantino is overrated, and I say this as someone who loves Tarantino. This is because I largely disagree with his first films being his greatest. I don't have much love for Pulp Fiction or Reservoir Dogs. Even Kill Bill is a bit too facetious for me.

Inglourious Basterds, though, I think is Tarantino's best work, because I think it's his strongest story and I don't think he ever takes it to the cartoonish heights he does in Django Unchained or Kill Bill. I mean yeah, I understand the Tarantinoverse and the film-within-a-film thing, but I still don't think those stories are clean enough. The thing about arteurs is that sure, they get full reign over their creative vision, but that also means there's nobody to say "no, you need to tone it down and edit", and sometimes that's necessary. ****in' Django Unchained and Hateful Eight were probably 45 minutes longer than they needed to be. Inglourious Basterds though, I don't think it has any wasted scenes. And Christoph Waltz is a spectacle to behold as Hans Landa.

Oops. It's usually either Batty or Frown that do the nitpicking.

Grizzly Man was great.

Please, I'm one of this site's nitpickiest, most persnickety mofos.

One of my favorite films ever. Period. Can't get much better than 70's Pacino.

Pulp Fiction > Inglourious Basterds > The Hateful Eight > Reservoir Dogs > Kill Bill > Django Unchained > Jackie Brown > Death Proof

Pulp Fiction is by far my favorite. It is packed wall to wall with great, memorable scenes.

I would love to see a re-edit of Jackie Brown. I love the movie but it just drags on way too fucking long. The same can be said for Kill Bill but it's not as noticeable if you don't watch them back to back.

Only one I wouldn't re-watch is Death Proof, but I loved the other half of Grindhouse, Planet Terror.
