Don't get me wrong, I'm glad Jack got over his drinking problem. But drunk Jack randomly uttering nonsense was a like broken clock that would still strike true twice a day and produce something funny. Sober Jack is just a smashed clock in a old wet sack, and you can sometimes make out some muffled dad humor coming out of it.

The first half of Casino is great but it started to lose me when it became all about how much this dude's wife sucks.

Sharon Stone is amazing in Casino, Ginger is such a trainwreck but at the same time you kinda get why Ace didn’t just kick her out sooner. He fooled himself into trusting her.

Also the kid messing with Lester never fails to crack me up.

p sure mean streets is a d rank scorsese film unless we're grading it on a curve for being his first decisive hit early on

i just can't think of a single thing that stood out about it, at least in so far as you can tell there's massive directorial talent either elevating it like with films like casino, goodfellas, taxi driver or holding it together like with hugo, which would've blown total rear end directed by someone else

that one guy took a lot of bullets to die, i guess that's something

Once Upon a Time in Holywood got more flak than it deserved and is a beautifully shot moopie.

I enjoy the Tarantino "fluff" where people do daily things or talk about some obscure movie stuff, kinda created a contrast with how sudden and brutal violence happens. Seeing the re-constructed 68 Holywood felt like a time travel and I need that right into my veins. (The washed up star going to Italy to star in movies section was p good as well)

Death Proof is A tier, if and only if you were able to see it in its original theatrical run as part of Grindhouse at an Alamo Drafthouse where the crowd was really into the whole experience and you could drink beer and chill.

Top Tier: Uma trilogy (Kill Bill 1 2 Pulp Fiction)

Great Fun Tier: R. Dogs, Jackie Brown, Dust till Dawn

Hollywood is good, too long but has two very intensed scenes.

"Parody Tarantino" Tier: H8, In. Bastards, Django. I wish Christopher Waltz is in Hateful 8 so I can call these jank the "Christopher Waltz trilogy".

Age of Innocence is pretty drat good. You can tell 20 minutes in it's a tough thing to adapt, and they ditched a lot of the satire. There's probably too much VO narration.

The ending packs a wallop though. A real kick in the teeth.

Also, where does this "S" tier system come from? What is "S"?

It's from Japan and might not have started from games as Anime characters have been ranked similarly. The top rank might be something else like G in keeping with that show.

S tier for games means you did an absolutely perfect run something like an A++ doesn't really get across. Usually taking no damage, but some game crank up the requirements with time and score. Games like Bayonetta is "Platinum" as the most expensive of the precious metals and a nod to the studio.

On a related note in Japan weapon loadouts aren't given ABC stepping to denote increasing destructiveness. The highest, most incriminate (Conventional) loadouts are usually called D class which is implied to be "Destruction/death/damage". In shows it is quite possible D "Class' i the only class referenced as a shorthand for poo poo is about to get real.

I would put Hollywood into either the A or B tier. There is a lot of good stuff in it, and the ending is amazing, but it's a very slow burn.

Otherwise I would pretty much agree with this list but I barely remember Reservoir Dogs so I may have to rewatch it.
