Neither was Totoro. I've had too many bad experiences of trying to get kids who enjoy basically every other one of his movies to watch Totoro and the kids not wanting to watch Totoro. For someone who is adamant his movies are for kids and not for a broader audience, it's the broader audience that much prefers Totoro and that dissonance was enough to get me to not list it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Death From Above Posted March 6, 2017 Share Posted March 6, 2017 That's kind of how I feel about Pan's Labyrinth. I have no idea who the target audience for the film is, aside from People That Make Lists About Films. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Death From Above Posted March 6, 2017 Share Posted March 6, 2017 Kill Bill fell off my ballot but it's nonetheless hilarious to me there are still people that think part 2 is the better movie when it has like 3 good scenes. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(BP) Posted March 7, 2017 Share Posted March 7, 2017 I loved both at the time, but I really only enjoy them now in bits and pieces on TV. There are parts that drag, and a lot of the things about them that I liked at the time are in retrospect warning signs that QT was regressing.

J.T. Posted March 7, 2017 Share Posted March 7, 2017 I also had weapon nerd mark out moments whenever Bill's Masamune with the oni engraving got any screentime. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chaos Posted March 7, 2017 Share Posted March 7, 2017 It definitely is the dividing line for QT as a filmmaker. It's the weakest of his initial four films (if you count KB as one film). His one bordering on classic QT film afterwards is probably Inglorious Basterds, but that's more just because Waltz is so damn amazing in that thing. The other films have great performances or great moments: Russell through Death Proof and the final chase sequence, Waltz and Leo in Django (the final 20-30 minutes really harm that film for me), and Goggis and Leigh in Hateful Eight. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
