Quentin Tarantino - Ranking His Films From Worst To Best
How does The Hateful Eight stack up?
There aren't many directors like Quentin Tarantino. He burst onto the scene in the 1990s with a pair of unprecedented features, carried on through into the 2000s with bold and visually impressive films that looked to build upon his fanboy cinephilia, and is now making the sort of grand, American epics (in the proper sense of that word) you'd expect of a director of this talent approaching his mid-50s.
And now The Hateful Eight has finally dropped. After years of script leaks, stage readings and standard Quentin Tarantino stunt-pulling, the film has arrived in theatres; complete, in some, with an overture and an intermission and shown in "glorious" (the now-standard term) 70mm celluloid where possible. Reviews have been mixed-to-good, but one thing remains: there isn't much that can trump the excitement arrival of a new QT movie in cinemas.
With that in mind, let's take a look back through his films to see how The Hateful Eight stacks up against its predecessors. Focusing only on the films Tarantino has directed (so no True Romance or Natural Born Killers), and ignoring his segment of Four Rooms and his "guest director" credit on Sin City, here are Tarantino's nine films (because Kill Bill isn't one film, no matter how much he wants us to) ranked from worst to best.
