Look at the movies in the poll. They are not all 100% QT either. Death Proof was directed by QT, but the idea of Grindhouse altogether was still in part because of QT.

"Grindhouse" isn't a movie. It's as simple as that. "Planet Terror" doesn't belong. "Death Proof" would.

Grindhouse would actually fit in this thread. Because the title is "Best QT-related Film", not "Best QT Film"

It belongs more than 4 Rooms, Sin City, Natural Born Killers, True Romance, and From Dusk Till Dawn do.

Pulp Fiction. Reservoir Dogs is pretty close too though.

death proof was super bad. that is all.

I want to make this PERFECTLY CLEAR.

That is one actual movie with 4 segments, all with different directors.

Sin City

Directed a segment.

Natural Born Killers

He only wrote the movie...

True Romance

Wrote it.

From Dusk Till Dawn

Wrote it.

I'm aware you probably knew all that, but like I said, "Grindhouse" isn't a movie. If you were to include it, you'd have to include Cannes, which was a festival, like "Grindhouse" that included his movie. "Sundance", which was an event screening more than one movie at atime, which included his work...and the list goes on and on.

"Grindhouse" isn't a QT related movie. All the above are, because "Grindhouse" is not a movie. It's the name of an event. A double feature. When the two are seperated in theatres, as planned, I'll be even more justified in my stance.

Can you sit there and tell me that "Grindhouse" is the title of a film, and be correct in doing so? No.

'Related', brah. Not 'Directed'.

Edit: Or are you aware of that and I'm just missing something?

Missing something. Poll is for best "related" movie, "Grindhouse" isn't a movie. Simple as that. It was contested that the non-movie, "Grindhouse" belongs more in the list moreso than actual movies which he wrote and directed, which just stupid.

when i said it i was referring not to one of the specific films but at the summation of all the different aspects of it as a whole, including trailers, ads, missing reels, and all. While he directed only one film, he was undeniably an immense creative influence on the collective cinematic experience.

Chaos - You can claim it wasn't a movie all you want, but it was released as a movie. Cannes and other festivals don't have the movies overlap like these did.

how can you possibly argue that grindhouse isn't a movie? it's billed, reviewed, and released as a movie. "grindhouse" is more tarantino than "four rooms", as he only directed one quarter of four rooms (by your logic, isn't four rooms "not a movie" as well?).

shitty logic, core.

All those unnecessary big words aside...influences aren't movies. "Grindhouse" isn't a movie, it's a double feature event.

Grindhouse is not a movie. It's not meant to be a movie. Grindhouse is an experience. Grindhouse is a night out. Grindhouse is something you set out to do with a bunch of friends – not just something new to sit and watch.

"Grindhouse" was released as an event. Just like when "10 Movies To Die For" was released, when they screened particular movies both in succession, and individually, as is the plan for "Grindhouse". The only difference is that that second option wasn't in the cards for the event when it was first released.

Discerning movie goers know that "Grindhouse" isn't a movie. If it were a movie, where are the credits? Why are the other two movies titled? It's an event. This isn't "The Twilight Zone Movie" or some Landis feature with multiple parts.

"Four Rooms" is one movie with 4 seperate acts, incorperating 4 different directors for each, like I said before.

Well, think what you want.

Would you argue that QT had no part in the creation of Planet Terror?

yeah you gotta watch out for those big three-sylable words like..."influence!" Those can be pretty tough to get. all sarcasm aside, the poll asked about "Tarantino related film". In other words.. Did he influence it... yes he did. whether or not it is a movie is irrelevant. i agree with you that it is an experience, but again the poll asked for film, not movie, and Grindhouse is, indeed produced on a medium that most people cal "film."

Here you go Chaos, straight from Tarantino's mouth:

"So the real reality is Robert did 'Planet Terror' and I did 'Death Proof' and then we did 'Grindhouse' and those are three different movies."

Done arguing my point. "Grindhouse" isn't a movie, even if the creator says so.

I guess...then Creepshow isn't a movie either....it's a bunch of separate films put into a single event...*spasm*

Grindhouse is film is presented as a double feature....that's it.
