Goddamn, Jimmie! This is some serious gourmet shit!
He loves sharp dialogue, epic violence and ladies feet.
Welcome to watchmojo.com and today we're counting down
Our picks for QuentinTarantino's top ten scenes."You'll be shot for this!"
"Nah, I don't think so. More like chewed out. I've been chewed out before."
For this list
we've decided to choose only one moment per movie
to keep things fair and we're
counting both Kill Bill movies as one
"Oh great, I don't care"
Also watch out for the blood cursing and spoilers
"Hey, one thing at a time, man. I'm not a frog, and you're not a bunny. So, let's not jump ahead"
"Very good, sir". Number 10: Rush's rant. "Four Rooms"
- You're into it? -I'm into it. - All right. Go on!
We start our list with the wild card entry, Four Rooms is an anthology with only one section written and directed by Tarantino.
"Which brings me to me" That means
it's pretty uneven and almost universally hated
but that also does not mean Tarantino's offerings
as an actor should go
unmentioned. -"What do you say? - Oh, thank you, sir.
"You not thank you, what do you say about the tasty beverage?
- Oh, it's very good - Fucking good, Ted, Fucking good! Let's try it again, shall we?"
Channeling Woody Allen he plays a
hotshot Hollywood director who's used to getting
what he wants and what he wants
is bubbly champagne.
"Do you want me to open
another bottle of champagne?
- No, don't you fucking open another bottle! I got enough right here. Fucking shit, man."
Number 9: "Salma and the snake" from "Dusk Till Dawn". Most tarantino flicks are moment after moment
of memorable action but this film's most unforgettable scene is obvious.
The honor goes to Salma Hayek, her snake and their central table dance.
On the surface this incident objectifies women but look deeper and you see who's in control.
Tarantino himself barely keep it together
and it's no surprise. We've all heard his deal about feet, right.
Number 8: Popped in the parking lot "Jackie Brown"
Inspired by blaxploitation movies,
this Tarantino film is more about words and
twists than gore and violence but it
has its stand out scenes and our favorite involves
Robert De Niro and Bridget Fonda. De Niro's a kind of slow criminal,
who's in over his head
"Are you sweating". And Fonda is the accomplice who
won't quit nagging."You sure? - Yeah I'm sure - You're positive?
Don't seem sure to me. - Hey, don't say... don't say anything else, okay?
Keep your mouth shut". Protip if an ex-con
tells you to shut up,
you should just listen.
Number 7: Surfin' Safari "Death Proof"
Some dumb women are served up some brutal
deaths in Tarantino's grindhouse
contribution but our favorite moment isn't
one of them.
We love when the girls fight back against
stuntman Mike. Sure, the five
minute long chase that proves car surfing
is a terrible idea is thrilling
but the stuntman crying like a little girl
and getting his ass handed to him
by three chicks is epically satisfying.
"One more moment, doctor"
Number 6:  The candyland massacre, "Django Unchained"
Tarantino's signature move
maybe the shoot-out and this is the ultimate
with Django waiting in the
wings
Calvin Candie and Dr. King Schultz build the tension to a fever pitch with verbal sparring.
"I insist - If you insist. "
 Then a single gunshot causes
all hell to break loose.
Going from gun to gun and using people as cover
Django tears his enemies down left, right
and center in one of cinema's
bloodiest gunfights
"Do you Know Who I am, Mr. Worley?"
Number 5: The Sicilian scene.
- I give up, who are you?
"True Romance" "The Antichrist,
you got me in a vendetta kind of mood " Tarantino isn't only about gore and
explicit violence
he also throws an inviting articulate dialogue
with lots of cursing for good
measure.
"I don't believe you - It's of minor importance what is a major #$@&%* importance is that I believe you"
Tarantino didn't direct this flick but these are his words
Sicilians are great liars, best... "
And when delivered by Hollywood heavyweights like Christopher Walken and Dennis Hopper,
well, you can't beat that. "As a fact I don't
know what do you know or not..."
mounting tension, useless facts, racial epithets, the knowledge that one of these
guys won't leave this room alive. " You're part eggplant" Epic.
Number 4: Stand off at la Louisiana.                   "Inglorious Bastards"
This piece of historical fiction is
packed with excellent performances,
memorable moments, and gutsy moves.
"I think this just might be my master piece" Not the least of which is Tarantino's
choice to change history, but what makes this classic tarantino is the
action that happens below the
surface,
literally
But that still doesn't beat the
showdown at the basement bar.
Drinking games, uncomfortable silences, guns pointed at sensitive spots.
You know, makes this scene a nail-biter. "Say "auf wiedersehen" to your nazi balls"
Number 3: The bride fights back. "Kill Bill Vol. 1.
Well, that escalated quickly.
Both volumes 1 & 2 of Kill Bill are packed
with iconic Tarantino trademarks
but how can you won't do, a one on 88 samurai sword battle?
Black Mamba has already dispatched a few subordinates by the
time the crazy 88 show up, which means she's all warmed up and ready
for a kung - fu fighting, yellow suit
wearing, blood spurting, axe throwing, eye ball poking
good time. " You read the
Bible... Number 2: bible-thumping
"Pulp Fiction"
The overdose. "You gotta nail down in stabbing motion"
Royale with cheese "How they call the Big Mac?"
The twist, Marvin's shot off at face
"Oh man! I shot at marvin in the face - Why  #$@&%* you do that?" The gold watch. "Five long years he wore this watch,
up his ass."
They're all great but only one is the best.
Perennial Tarantino player Sam
Jackson takes intimidation to new levels with
some names small talk.
"This is a tasty burger..." Before getting down to business.
" What - Say what again! but the climax of course
is his Bible quote "Ezekiel 25:17..." Tarantino actually borrowed this
speech from a '70 era martial arts
flick but that doesn't make it any less perfect
and you will know my name is the
law
what I lay my vengeance upon thee" end scene.
Number 1: Here no evil. "Reservoir Dogs" Mexican standoff are great but object torture set the classic
rock tunes is unbeatable.
Before Pulp Fiction turned case into a household name this Tarantino scene turn stomachs in theaters
and built the filmmakers rep as
one of the greats.
You don't even need to see what's happening
all it takes is a straight razor, some Stealers Wheel and bloodcurdling screams
"Hey, what's going on, really?
Do you agree with our list? or would you ask us
to add something else?
"I don't remember asking you a goddamn thing"
