    Including his screenplay-only credits here.

    I have still not seen Hollywood. I imagine it would be below Hateful 8 for me.

    Jackie Brown is very underrated and easily his best movie IMO.

    Reservoir Dogs is a great film, but in the context of his work, generally overrated. It’s more its own piece of film history than something to be compared to his more mature work.

    Kill Bill is tough. I think I could make the argument that it’s easily his best film—but for rewatches, Jackie Brown has it beat handily. It’s hard to rewatch the Kill Bill saga conveniently.

    The rest are honestly neck and neck. I think Pulp Fiction is #1 when you’re new, but kinda recedes into itself against his whole catalog.
