‘Kill Bill, ‘Jackie Brown,’ & ‘Reservoir Dogs’ Are Arguably the Best Titles in Quentin Tarantino’s Filmography
Without a doubt, Tarantino served as a trailblazer for a number of hit independent films that followed. With titles likeDeath Proof,Django Unchained, andOnce Upon a Time in Hollywood, most of Tarantino’s movies have already been recognized by several award-giving bodies. While all of his movies can be considered among the upper ranks of cinema history, the four features that are having 4K UHD releases this month have greatly defined the director’s career. TheUma Thurman-ledKill Bill, for one, is not only known for its compelling revenge plot but also its tribute to the martial arts genre.
Jackie Brown, which was based on the 1992 novelRum Punch, is a well-written crime film that features stellar performances fromPam Grier,Samuel L. Jackson,Robert Forster,Michael Keaton, andRobert De Niro. Of course,Reservoir Dogsis the movie that started it all for Tarantino. Having served as his feature-length directorial debut, the movie paved the way for his longstanding career in cinema.
