Pulp Fiction for me, probably because of the Jules character, Resevoir Dogs a close second.
I'm not a fan of Kill Bill, vol. 1 or 2, read like a glorified music video to my eyes 🙂
But then, I'm not a big fan of Tarantino, I think his subtle plaguerism should end so we can see him make his own material.
Reservoir Dogs, as has been said several times, has some of the best dialogue ever. Pulp Fiction, I love Four rooms, but I think what made that movie was the different directors in each of the rooms. I also liked "Destiny Turns on the Radio", although QT was an actor in that and it was a rather plotless movie, I just dig Tarantino. So I want to say E, all of the above and more.

why isn't Grindhouse on the list. That would be my number 2. Number 1 is still Pulp Fiction. After those two , there is a significant dropoff.
How did you arrive at your decision? I'll say that "Death Proof" was flat out embarassing when it comes to execution of his storied dialogue. Not only was the dialogue literally ANNOYING, the characters were made out of cardboard (save Kurt Russell who got the best deal), he forgot he was making schlock cinema and decided he was a new age David Mamet, and not to mention he's used that female empowerment to the point where it's no long effective or fun in his movies. It's like "I Spit On Your Grave" meets "Grand Theft Auto" or some shit.
It would have made all the difference in the world had he just substitued one of the 4 noticable lengthy diatribes with a little more Stuntman Mike...but no. Had to overindulge on that dykey black chick with a thing for cars and a stunt woman turned "actress".
My vote? "Reservoir Dogs". Supreme storytelling, dialogue, and a great cast.

He said Grindhouse, not Death Proof. Grindhouse is the entire movie and Tarantino is linked to it.
Just because he's "linked" to it, doesn't mean he gets credit for the entire thing. He gets his due for "Death Proof", the movie he wrote and directed. "Grindhouse" is nothing more than the name of an event. It's not a movie. It's tricky, because an event like this has never happened in mainstream cinema.
So, the question still stands, and if he were to answer that he chose "Grindhouse" because "Planet Terror" was awesome, then the answer is null and void because that wasn't a QT movie.
It's like trying to get laid because you say you're with the band...doesn't work that way.
