10 Directors With The Most Movies In The IMDb Top 250

8. Quentin Tarantino (5)

The Movies: Pulp Fiction, Django Unchained, Reservoir Dogs, Inglourious Basterds, Kill Bill, Vol. 1 With his hyperkinetic, soundtrack-fueled, popular culture-clad modern classics, Quentin Tarantino has carved himself out a place as one of the most influential movie directors of all-time. Indeed, Tarantino's pictures are often regarded as the epitome of "cool" by way of their blending of the director's cinematic influences and tastes into pictures that feel like insane hodgepodges - and in the best possible way. Tarantino, essentially, is a movie nerd who makes movies for other movie nerds - watching his films is like taking a trip through the bizarro world version of cinematic history, with all the B-movies and oddities covered in more excessive detail. Spot the nods, homages and references, and you're in the club. There has been a notable increase in the levels of self-consciousness that surrounds most of Tarantino's films since Kill Bill, of course, with pictures such as Inglourious Basterds and Django Unchained feeling a lot more on the nose in terms of their positions as cinematic scrapbooks. But that is not to discredit those movies as lesser entries in the man's canon - his later films are just as entertaining to watch as certified masterpieces such as Pulp Fiction and Reservoir Dogs. It was those films that gave rise to Tarantino's reputation as "the King of Cinema Cool," of course - and rightly so.
