Reply to comment by pmc64 in So I watched my first ever Tarantino movie: Inglourious Basterds. It's one glorious bastard. by Comic_Book_Reader

I would say stay clear of Death Proof and Grindhouse. I am not sure I actually ever saw Grindhouse, but I know it is supposed to be in the same style as Death Proof and whilst I admire his love of cinema and his ambition it is not particularly good and also completely removed from all his other movies.

What? No love for Stuntman Mike? That's a shame

Nah, Planet Terror and Death Proof are completely different movies in tone. Nothing alike

Grindhouse is not the title of either movie.

They released Planet Terror and Death Proof as a double feature called Grindhouse.

Death Proof is awesome. It’s as pure Tarantino as it gets, with extended dialog, his signature style of characters, extensive practical stunt work, revenge fantasy, and is a total homage to the 70s grindhouse slasher genre. I get why its appeal is somewhat limited as that’s a feature of genre films. Personally I’d surely put this in my top 5 favorite Tarantino films.
