Every Quentin Tarantino Movie, Ranked

Tarantino's highest-grossing release to date is this 2012 revisionist western/revenge thriller (like Inglourious Basterds, titled in honor of an Italian film, in this case 1966's Django) that stars Jamie Foxx as a slave who teams with a German bounty hunter (Christoph Waltz, reuniting with the director after Basterds) to track down and capture or kill the Brittle brothers. Leonardo DiCaprio also stars in a rare villain role. Waltz won his second Oscar for his performance, as did Tarantino (for his screenplay).

“In 'Django,' Tarantino is a man unchained, creating his most articulate, intriguing, provoking, appalling, hilarious, exhilarating, scathing and downright entertaining film yet.” —Betsy Sharkey, Los Angeles Times
