Quentin Tarantino
FILMOGRAPHY AS DIRECTOR (COMPLETE)
FILMOGRAPHY AS WRITER OR PRODUCER ONLY (ONLY REVIEWED ENTRIES)
When Quentin Tarantino burst onto the scene in the early 1990s with several sought-after scripts and his first two directed features, Reservoir Dogs and Pulp Fiction, it was arguably the most triumphant start to an American filmmaking career since Orson Welles. Tarantino's particular brand of offbeat crime narratives, vivid dialogue, and colourful characters quickly became a trademark in its own right, inspiring several filmmakers in the years that followed. Tarantino followed up his early successes – which also included brilliant scripts for Tony Scott's True Romance and Robert Rodriguez's From Dusk till Dawn – with another enterprising crime story with Jackie Brown in 1997. After his two-legged martial arts extravaganza Kill Bill, he reunited with his old friend Rodriguez for the 2007 double feature Grindhouse, comprising Tarantino's Death Proof and Rodriguez's Planet Terror. It turned out to be Tarantino's least successful project to date, both critically and commercially. He bounced back with a trio of hugely profitable and acclaimed revenge films – Inglourious Basterds (2009), Django Unchained (2012), and The Hateful Eight (2015) – all of which earned him Academy Award nominations for Best Original Screenplay. For Django Unchained, he won the award for the second time, after Pulp Fiction. When Tarantino released his ninth (or tenth, depending on whether Kill Bill is counted as one or two films), the seminal Once Upon a Time in Hollywood, which brought him three more Oscar nominations and universal acclaim, he declared his intention to retire as a filmmaker after his next and final film.
