This is pretty difficult. Kill Bill 1 and 2 together would be an easy win, but IB just edges out either volume by itself.

Both are in my top 5, but Kill Bill is so easy to get into and watch at anytime, so I have to go with that.

Kill Bill 1 is too much fun to lose this one.

I enjoyed Inglourious Basterds but I just don't think it's quite as good as Kill Bill

Like pretty much everyone else on this site, I sorta liked Inglojdksjdkd Basterds, I actually thought it was a smart move for Tarantino to step into slightly "straighter" material after like a decade of (what was becoming) samey B movie fetishizing--while carrying over those sensibilities nonetheless. At times it still feels like he wants to be directing some European arthouse movie, though. It's a confused mix, but it's the closest thing he's come to his "own" voice since the 90s. But while Kill Bill is marginally more indulgent (in a bad way), it may be more endearing because it's more obviously a labor of love. It's like some geek's fanfiction, it's awful, but there literally isn't a single word of it that his heart's not in.

Oh...I'm going Vol. 1 on this one. I liked Basterds...but Vol. 1 is such a blast....

Eh, both Kill Bill movies are a bit on the mediocre side, in my opinion. Inglourious Basterds may be Quentin Tarantino's best film.

IB wins in a heartbeat. Kill Bill is good but it's the epitome of "all style, no substance". It's fun, but forgettable (for me).

Inglourious Basterds for sure.
