Every Quentin Tarantino Movie, Ranked
In the gallery above, we rank every film directed by Quentin Tarantino—from Reservoir Dogs to his newest feature, Once Upon a Time in Hollywood—from best to worst according to each film's Metascore.
Titled after a 1978 Italian film (The Inglorious Bastards) but not a remake or adaptation, Tarantino's 2009 hit is a World War II action-adventure that deviates from true events to depict a plot to assassinate Adolph Hitler. Nominated for eight Oscars (including Tarantino's second directing nomination), Basterds features a terrific cast led by Brad Pitt, Michael Fassbender, Mélanie Laurent, and Eli Roth. But it made a star (and an Oscar winner) out of then-unknown Austrian actor Christoph Waltz, who first appears in the extended opening interrogation scene that features what might be Tarantino's best writing to date.
“Energetic, inventive, swaggering fun, Quentin Tarantino's Inglourious Basterds is a consummate Hollywood entertainment--rich in fantasy and blithely amoral.” —J Hoberman, Village Voice
