Ranking Every Quentin Tarantino Movie Soundtrack Worst To Best

Tarantino’s 2012 western, Django Unchained, only ranks at number nine on the list - but a lot of that isn’t the film’s fault. Being a period movie (set during 1850s), the soundtrack obviously uses less recent pop songs, because it could easily prove jarring to use too much newer music.

That being said, the soundtrack does incorporate some good Morricone pieces into the mix, including “The Braying Mule”, “Ancora Qui” and “Un Momento”, and has some great other movie themes, including “Trinity” (from They Call Me Trinity), “His Name Was King” (from Lo Chiamavano King), and “Nicaragua” (from Under Fire).

This was also the only Tarantino soundtrack in which a song was written directly for the movie - “100 Black Coffins” by Rick Ross was created directly for Django. This is a lovely idea, but ultimately the song is fine, if slightly forgettable.

The soundtrack just really lacks a bit of bite and edge, and the iconic status of his other soundtracks. It’s still definitely worth a listen, though.
